This film vividly shows Dr. Gulliver's travels among the Lilliputians, the Brobdingnagians, the Houynhynms, and others. Made for television, the film successfully conveys many of Swift's criticisms of Western Society.

To give you a sense of how our Learning Guides can be used by teachers as lesson plans and by parents to supplement school curriculum or for homeschooling, we have set out below a paragraph contained in the Learning Guide to Gulliver's Travels.
A bitter satire of the society of the day, the novel was
immediately popular. Unfortunately, a strong argument can be
made that the failings of mankind and the ills of society to
which Swift objected have improved only slightly during the
250 years since the book was written.
The Learning Guide to Gulliver's Travels also contains sections on Benefits of the Movie, Possible Problems, Helpful Background, Discussion Questions, Links to the Internet, and Bridges to Reading. The Discussion Questions are divided into three categories: Subject Matter, Social-Emotional Learning, and Moral-Ethical Emphasis.
