Your favorite moments in Gulliver's Travels

If there are any fans of Fleischer's "Gulliver's Travels" like me, I want to know: what are your favorite moment from the film? Mine are

· When Princess Glory sings to Prince David "Faithful," and her dad (King Little) was starting have "letting go" issues

· When Gabby leads the Lilliputians to where Gulliver is on the beach, and they were on his chest. And one of the Lilliputians whispers "where is it?" and Gabby whispers "I don't know; but it was right here." Another Lilliputian said "Here?" And the Lilliputian with Gabby: "Oh yeah, well where is it now?"

·When Gulliver brought Glory & David in secret, in the ampitheatre ruins

I just watched this movie again, and I've always been a great fan of it.

My favorite moment is actually a very simple one: when Gulliver is on the shore at night, smoking a pipe, and looking at the waves (while the choir is singing in the background like angels).

It's a moment I've thought of when seeking peace.

I also like Gulliver's dreams of home on the beach - especially when he sings back to the voices.

I also like King Bombo's scene as David is singing 'Forever', when he is laughing and crying reminiscing of the good times he had with King Little, only to return abruptly to his hard front when the spies catch a glimpse of this. It shows Bombo was good really but had an image to protect, as shown when he almost went to apologise to King Little but was accidentally grabbed by the guards which sent him over the edge.

I'm with smakar. Love the scene on the beach where Gulliver is smoking his pipe. Had the pleasure of seeing this for the first time today on Film 4. Glad I tuned in!

For me its the music. I particularly like the songs Sailor Man and All's Well.
