Plot summary
Gulliver's Travels is a U.S. TV miniseries based on Jonathan Swift's novel of the same name,
produced by Jim Henson Productions and Hallmark Entertainment. This miniseries is notable for
being one of the very few adaptations of Swift's novel to feature all four voyages.
The miniseries stars Ted Danson, Mary Steenburgen, Peter O'Toole, John Gielgud, Omar Sharif,
Shashi Kapoor, Warwick Davis, Kristin Scott Thomas, Alfre Woodard, Kate Maberly, Tom Sturridge,
Richard Wilson and Nicholas Lyndhurst.
In this version, Dr. Gulliver has returned to his family after a long absence. The action shifts
back and forth between flashbacks of his travels and the present where he is telling the story of
his travels and has been committed to an insane asylum. (The flashback framework and the incarceration
in the asylum are not in the novel.) While the miniseries remains faithful to the novel, the ending has
been changed for a more upbeat conclusion. In the book, Gulliver is so impressed with the Utopian country
of the Houyhnhnms that when he returns to England he eventually chooses to live out his life among the
horses in his barn, rather than with his family. In the miniseries, he recovers from this obsession and
returns to his wife and children.
The series won 5 Emmy Awards including in the Best Miniseries category.
