Gulliver Returns (2021) - full transcript

Residents of
beautiful Lilliput,

today is a significant day.

Indeed, today, our
defender, our friend,

Great Gulliver,
will appear again after 40 years

of separation,
as our prophecy says.

The Man Mountain
will return to solve

all our gigantic problems.

Only the Great Gulliver
can handle them.

Who, 40 years ago,
extinguished our capital

in one motion when the villain
Blefuscu set fire to it?

Our savior, the Great Gulliver.



And who restored
the city walls 40 years ago

and prevented
the villain Blefuscu

from invading our city, hmm?

Ooh, our savior,
the Great Gulliver.

And who, 40 years ago,
supplied water

throughout the city?

Our savior,
the Great Gulliver!

Come on, again. Who?

Our savior,
the Great Gulliver!

I can't hear you.
Who?

Our savior,
the Great Gulliver!

Very well.

Very well.

And now, we can put to
good use the gigantic gate

built for the return
of the Man Mountain.

Turn me around all the way.

180, please.

Orchestra, music.

Oh my goodness.

Oh.

There he is,
Gulliver the Giant.

Wow.

I've never had such a welcome.

Hmm.

Shh.

Mm-mm.

Get him!

Mm-hmm.

Break it down.

How dare you touch the crown

of the Great King of Lupersburg,
you pipsqueak?

I'm the pipsqueak?

Yes. You don't know who
you're dealing with.

First, I'll feed you
to the piranhas.

Then I'll feed these piranhas
to the pigs.

Then I'll kill the pigs,

and the pigs will get eaten
by the worms.

Then I'll use these
worms to catch fish.

You've already
mentioned the fish.

They were piranhas.
Now I'm talking about trout.

Oh, okay, go on.

And then, I'll fry
the fish and eat it.

Why don't you just fry
the piranhas who ate me?

Because, because...

You don't know who
you're dealing with!

Hey, that looks great.

Grab the pipsqueak!

Idiots! Not me. Him!

Remember this day.

After all, today,
you were robbed

by the great, the unsurpassed,

the pretty, some would
even say beautiful,

and I don't argue,
the undefeated,

whose name is Gulliver!

I usually
stick the landing.

But you don't have
to believe me.

Enough with that.

All hail the new heir to
the crown of Lupersburg.

Ah. Who cares?

- Hey, what's your name?
- Squick.

Glad to meet you, Squick.

I'm Gulliver.

How do you say Gulliver?

- Squick.
- Also Squick? Oh.

So we're namesakes.

Huh?

Um, hello, over here.

I know you're here.

I was just checking
if I had a tail.

A tail is a figure of speech.

Delivery man
Pablo salutes you.

Gulliver, I heard
a lot about you.

I thought you'd be bigger.

- I'm Gulliver.
- Oh.

You two look so much alike.

So what's the mouse's name?

His name is Squick.

- Karl?
- Not Karl, Squick.

- Karl, right?
- Squick.

- I can't hear you. Karl?
- Squick!

So it's Karl, then.

- Yes, Karl.
- Mm, Karl.

Not really a good
name for a mouse.

It's not mousey at all.

Well, have a nice trip and
a fair wind to you all.

Wait.
What about the message?

Oh, oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

So?

- So?
- So?

What do you mean?

You need to deliver the message.

I know. But you keep
interrupting me all the time,

I can't put a word in.

Now.

My side's been
itching all this time.

Now for the message.

"Don't forget to buy the potion
and ointment, you old fart."

No, no, no, that's not for you.

That's personal.

Here it is.

"Dear Gulliver,
we are in trouble.

Please come to our aid.

Residents of Lilliput."

My friends are in trouble.

Squick, get ready to
set sail immediately.

Let's go to Lilliput.

I need to be on my way, too.

So many things to do.

All you talkers and you talks,
you talk and talk and talk.

- And you don't stop.
- Thanks for the message, Pablo.

See you soon, Gulliver.

- Karl.
- Squick.

How could you
name a mouse Karl?

Like to freshen up, you know?

And remember, in Lilliput,
you'll be surrounded

by danger everywhere.

Hello!

What?

Perhaps I'm too far away.

You, you, who are you?

I'm Gulliver.

What do you mean, "Gulliver"?

And where--where is
our friend, the giant?

Giant?

I didn't see one on
my way into port.

Don't worry.

I'm sure he's around
here somewhere.

So how 'bout we get
the party going, huh?

The festive music
was a great touch.

How 'bout we start
the band up again?

I am going to ask you
once more, who are you?

Uh, like I said, I'm Gulliver.

This is not Gulliver!

Aw.

It's not Gulliver.

What do you mean,
I'm not Gulliver?

My name is Lemuel Gulliver.

Silence!

Lemuel Gulliver is a giant.

And this some kind of
impostor, not Gulliver!

Aw.

- But--but I am.
- Enough!

Seize him!

If you really are Gulliver,
then prove it, in court.

My case file.

Squick, can you get it?

All right, eat it.

Yeah, imagine that it's the food
that you love the most.

- Sweets?
- Sure, sweets. Hurry up.

Get out of there.

Hmm?

Where did they put
my daily schedule?

Oh, never mind.
All rise.

The court is in session.

The court shall
swiftly adjudicate

without carefully
considering the case,

given that dinner
is in 10 minutes.

Excuse me.

Hmm, yes?

You have some questions.

I have one small question,
if you will.

What on Earth is going on here?

It's only been a year since
the last time I was here,

but I don't recognize anyone.

You're the king, right?

I don't know you.

I know him, but not you.

That's my father.

Oh, then we have met.

Back then,
Your Majesty was smaller,

and ran around in dirty diapers.

How is this even possible?

And how is it possible--

And how is it possible
that you're not a giant?

Hmm.

Maybe, maybe because
I've never been one.

What do you mean,
never been one?

You must be a giant.

We have a legend.

We have murals, monuments,
those huge gates, even.

Do you know how much they cost?

And now, you return
as a non-giant?

You spoiled everything for us.

This is a scandal,
and you must pay.

For what?
For being who I am?

No, for not being
what you should be.

So the verdict is guilty,

and you shall serve
a life sentence.

Hold on a second.

We haven't even had a trial.

What kind of
a kangaroo court is this?

The court has
considered the statement

of the defense and passes
the floor to the prosecution.

Mr. Prosecutor?

For mocking a trial in Lilliput,
the penalty is death.

Death?

It is my opinion that you do not

know the laws, Mr. Prosecutor.

I know the laws better
than anyone in this kingdom.

Better than the king himself?

Would you believe it?

Better than the king himself.

Your Honor, it is
clear that the prosecutor

does not respect both
the court and the king.

Oh.

How dare you,
Mr. Prosecutor, be so bold.

For disrespecting the king,
you are sentenced

to a strike by the chicken.

Oh!

Well, Mr. Prosecutor,
how did you like that?

Let us return to you,
Mr. Impostor.

Do you understand
the decision of the court?

Shouldn't a verdict
be passed by a jury?

No problem.

Guilty.
He's a-guilty.

Guilty.

The decision is unanimous.

You are found guilty
of being Gulliver,

but not being a giant.

A double crime!

Now you will be
executed on the spot.

But that's not fair!

I must have a lawyer.

The lawyer is here, your honor.

Really?

Your honor.

Your honor,
the defense would like

to bring to your attention
a mitigating circumstance

before you sentence
the defendant.

Oh yeah?
What circumstance?

The defendant is,
in fact, a giant.

He is from a family of giants,

but because of a childhood
illness, he stopped growing.

It seems that the defendant
is just a giant dwarf.

- Oh.
- Or dwarf giant,
whichever you like.

- Oh.
- Yes, it's true.

This is my affliction.

This is my shame.

You don't understand
what it's like

to be a dwarf among giants.

Always the last one
picked for sports,

wearing children's
clothes all your life.

Understanding that society
only cares about you

when they need someone
with a small hand

to get the last
pickle out of the jar.

The court accepts this
mitigating circumstance.

Taking into
account the mitigating--

mitigating circumstance,

the defense asks for
a public execution

tomorrow at the square.

- What?
- Excellent idea, lawyer.

Oh, set a table,
have music and dancing?

How cool.

The court
grants the defense's request.

No! I lied!
I'm not a dwarf.

Punish me to the fullest extent
with a life sentence.

Better still, be even harder
and expel me from jail,

or drive me out of the country.

I can make bail.

Do you accept crowns?

Squick, help me!

Get them, Squick!

The guards are sweets.

Sweets?

Sweet? Sweet.

If you inhabitants

if the insignificant
Lilliput surrender,

then the great and mighty
Generalissimo Blefuscu,

that is me,
will have mercy on you,

and just maybe I will
allow you to be my slaves

for the rest of your
worthless lives.

But if you refuse to surrender,

then my immense army will
grind you into powder.

And now, no one will
interfere.

- Oh!
- - My Generalissimo, the great spies--

- Peter...
-.. and Peter have arrived--

...as you commanded.

I told you never
interrupt my sinister laugh.

Sorry, my Generalissimo.

Go on, please.

See?
You've spoiled all the fun.

- Have mercy on us.
- We didn't meant to.

It's just that
we have important news.

All right, out with it.

Gulliver has
arrived in Lilliput.

So, the legendary
Gulliver returns.

Good.

I will capture Lilliput
and at the same time,

I will avenge
Blefuscu's past defeat.

But he's
not quite Gulliver.

What?
What does that mean?

- Well.
- - It's hard to explain.

He's not really a giant.

Meaning what?

More precisely,
he's not a giant at all.

This Gulliver is an impostor.

- What?
- They seized him.

- Put him in the dungeon.
- And he's to be executed.

Well, now.
Wait, wait, wait.

Are you sure that
he's not a giant?

Yes, my Generalissimo.

How big is he?

He is much smaller
than you, my Generalissimo.

Then it will be much
easier than I thought.

Listen!

Go to the king of Lilliput
and ask him to surrender.

- Yes, my Generalissimo.
- Goodbye, my Generalissimo.

Thank you for having
us, my Generalissimo.

All the best,
my Generalissimo.

Looking good,
my Generalissimo.

- Good health to you, my--
- Get out already!

Idiots.

But it's nice that they
worry about my health.

What a teeny giant.

That's right, like a
baby giant.

Hmm.

Squick.

Ta-da! Squick, hmm?

Nonsense.
It's been a long day.

You gotta eat something.

It's been too long.

Squick could be in trouble.

Don't worry, buddy. I'm coming.

Okay, just like I learned it.

Left and wait for
a clicking sound.

Excellent.

Although, in my opinion,
the lock should have clicked,

not my finger.

It's okay.
I've got nine more tries left.

Ah.

Good evening,
Mr. Imprisoned Impostor.

My respects, Your Majesty.

I've noticed that you
are quite versatile.

You are the king, and
the judge and the prosecutor,

and now you're the head guard?

It's amazing!

Oh yes, I like
to try new things,

and even more so, if you
want something done right,

as you know, you
best do it yourself.

I daresay, Your Majesty,
you are good

at being head guard.

Thanks, I'm trying.

How are you?
Have you settled in?

They treating you well?

I wouldn't want you to
spoil the festive mood

of tomorrow's execution
with a sour face.

I'm wonderful, and
I have you to thank.

Not at all. Wait.

You are thanking me for what?

For what?

Just look at my apartment.

This is my bedroom,
which is also the cloak room,

and the laundry room.

A quick walk down the hall,

and we arrive at the bathroom,

which also serves as an office.

In the left corner,
I have a greenhouse,

and through the living room,
we arrive at the kitchen.

In general, everything is
compact, convenient, and modern.

It is cozy.

And the food here,
with free delivery?

This is called le goop.

Mm. It's just delicious.

Um, may I try it?

No, no, no.
It's only for prisoners.

You're right.
I've never been a prisoner.

It's not that easy.
You think you're up for it?

Yes, of course I am!

I'm not so sure.

I'll prove it to you.

This really is cute.

Cool. I envy you.

Stop!

I demand you to stop.

Something wrong?

You forgot the keys.

You're right.

How could I forget?

This is the life.

Love that crisp dungeon air.
Hmm.

Squick.

Where are you, boy? Squick?

Who are you?

Marcy. I'm your lawyer.

Oh, right.
Look, it's my lawyer.

Let me guess.

You came to suggest they
torture me before the execution?

Is this how you thank
me for saving you?

Saving me?

Bringing me to the scaffold
is your way of saving me?

If it weren't for me,
you would've been executed
right in the courtroom.

Ah, I see.

Getting executed in the square
is much better.

Exactly, I bought
you time to escape.

Thanks, but I think Squick and I
will manage without you.

Have you seen a mouse?
About this big?

Well-groomed whiskers?

Shh.

Squick!

Boy, I thought you
were in trouble.

- Squick?
- Yes, I got out.

You doubted me?

And I see you've
learned from the master.

- Nice trophies.
- Stealing is bad.

- Squick?
- Don't pay attention
to our lawyer.

Otherwise, she might
try to save you, too,

and then you're in trouble.

Well, if you would show
us the way out, Miss,

we'll sign your book
of good deeds to verify

that you saved us, and
everyone will go about

their own business.

We'll go to the port,
you'll continue to execute--

Excuse me, save people.
Deal?

You'll have to say please.

What?

Without me,
you'll never get out of here.

This prison is a maze.

Fortunately,
or perhaps unfortunately,

I know these tunnels
like the back of my hand.

I visited my father
here for many years
while he was a prisoner.

We'll manage without you.

Mm-hmm.

Oh, well, good luck.

Okay.

What?

I was a bit rude earlier,

but that's no reason for
such an adorable mouse

to suffer in this
horrible dungeon.

Hmm.

Please help us get
out of this place.

Seriously?

Molly muffin!

Shh.

Well, you're free.
You can say thank you.

Please and thank you
in one night?

Hmm.

I know, I know.

♪ I'm stuck in prison ♪

♪ De na na na ♪

♪ I'm having fun ♪

♪ De na na na na ♪

♪ But I might have pea soup ♪

♪ De na na na ♪

♪ And my plight has begun ♪

♪ De na na na ♪

Um, Your Majesty?

What are you doing there?

Whatever do you mean?

I'm a prisoner.

Just look at my apartment.

This is my bedroom.

- It's also a cloakroom--
- I'm sorry,

but where's the real prisoner?

He took the keys and left.

He took the keys and left!

I want that impostor found!

This is outrageous.

He dared to deceive
the whole of Lilliput.

Moreover, he dared
to deceive me!

Announce a reward
for any information

about the whereabouts
of the fugitive.

That will make
things more difficult.

Don't worry about us.

Squick and I,
we're going to the port.

We have a ship there.
All the best to you.

- Come on, pal.
- Sure, leave.

That's what you're
good at anyway.

What?

I hope your legs move
as fast as your mouth.

What? Why?

Because we have to run!

Hey, you two! Stop!

That way. Come on!

They must have gone that way.

- Do you see him?
- I think I see him.

It seems quiet.

Hmm.

- Whew.
- What a brave giant,

hiding behind himself.

Who's hiding? Me?

I'm not afraid of them.

- We got you now!
- There he is.

That way!

Behind you!

Follow me.

Come on!

- Excuse us.
- Excuse us.

Shh.

- Shh.
- Oh.

- Hey, there they are!
- Come on!

I can't swim.

Stay at your posts.

Watch the tree line.

If you see any movement,
you report it.

Well? What now?

You know, I think
I'll stay awhile.

I have some unfinished
business here.

Some business, huh?

Maybe it has something to do
with your friend, Frelok?

How do you know about Frelok?

Well, I mean, it's just,
everyone knows the stories.

Now come on, let's go,
I'll take you to him.

I have this strange feeling.

I think I know this place!

Why, yes!

There's the river,
there's a head-shaped rock,

there's the road.

Of course!
This is the Royal Canyon.

They say Gulliver loved
to take walks here.

Yes, but from what I remember,

there was no forest
here last time.

Well, a lot of time has passed.

It's no wonder.

Only a year has passed,

and there used to be
cloudberry bushes here, too.

Oh man.

There was this one night,
when Frelok and I had
too many cloudberries.

And you know what that
does to your stomach.

And there's no restrooms nearby.

And this forest is not
known for its soft leaves,

let me tell you.

Gulliver, I really like you
better when you're not talking.

Oh, but it's such a good story!

- Not interested.
- Are you sure?

No thanks, I'm good.

Hm. Okay.

I think we can
spend the night here.

We should split up and
look for brushwood.

It should be dry,
because wet brushwood

produces a lot of smoke.

You don't seem to mind when
it's coming out of your mouth.

Ha ha, very funny.

I'm just concerned about
the guards seeing it.

I don't know.

You may want to be back

in that warm prison cell after
the frost and snow arrive.

Frost and snow? In summer?

Don't be ridiculous.

I warned you,
everything has changed here.

Yes! Everything
has changed here indeed.

Lilliputian girls used to
know their seasons.

Yep!

"Lilliputian girls

used to know their seasons!"

Oh! Jerk!

Why did I think this
was a good idea?

This is what you get, Marcy,
for believing fairy tales.

We'll just go see Frelok

and figure out a way to
get him on his little boat.

"I like you better

when you're not talking!"

What is her problem?

This island is not anything
like it used to be.

Why did I even
come back?

I'll just go see Frelok.
He'll help me get my ship back.

Then I can get back
out on the sea,

and far from this crazy place.

What a beautiful evening.

- Marcy, I'd like--
- Silence?

Did you know that in
the land of Houyhnhnms,

it is forbidden
to build bonfires?

How could I,
an ignorant Lilliput girl,

possibly know that?

Marcy.
I had a hard day today.

I was imprisoned, I almost
got killed a couple of times,

then the whole of
Lilliput chased me.

I know that doesn't
excuse my behavior.

I just want to just say,
thank you for saving my life

and I'm sorry for
being difficult.

Peace?

Okay.

I wasn't at my best either.

Peace.

So, where did you say
bonfires are forbidden?

In the land of Houyhnhnms,

bonfires are forbidden

because it's disrespectful
to the trees.

Disrespectful to the trees?

Yes. Houyhnhnms are terribly
respectful of all life.

Can you imagine their
shock if I sailed to them

on a ship made entirely of wood?

Yes.

What an interesting people.

Oh, they aren't people.

Then what are they?

Houyhnhnms are horses.
That's right.

It's this amazing land
ruled by horses.

Noble and beautiful creatures.

Gulliver,
tell me how you got

to Houyhnhnms country.

I was returning home
from the land of the giants.

By the way, I felt like
a Lilliputian there.

Almost like you do now.

Well, almost.

Then a storm brought me
to a beautiful island.

This is where I saw
these adorable horses.

But having heard them speak,
I thought I went nuts.

Their trees
speak there too?

The trees sing there.

Eventually, we made friends.

With the trees?

No, with the Houyhnhnms.

So many thing wowed me
in their culture.

And we had a really good
time together.

That was the most interesting
place I've ever visited.

And you know what? We're still
good friends to this day.

Good friends.

Hm. I knew I was
a great storyteller.

It's freezing cold out here!

What's going on?
How long have I slept?

You slept for six months,

and you snored from
November to December.

- Huh?
- Everything is fine.

You slept for seven or
eight hours, not more.

But how is this possible?

Yesterday, it was summer,
and today--

And today is winter!

This is an ingenious
invention of our king.

It's called a yearday.

He issued a decree
that once a week,

there's a day that's
equal to one year in time.

Yearday?

Why would the king want to
accelerate time?

All for our hero
and savior. For you.

- Me?
- When you left Lilliput,

you promised to
return in 40 years.

But 40 years is
a very long time,

and the king didn't
want to wait.

40 years?

Well, yes, I think I remember
blurting something out.

But it was a joke.

I just waved my hand and said,
"See you in 40 years."

Everyone laughed.

But that doesn't
explain how summer

can turn into winter overnight.

Our king came up with
the idea that if once a week,

during the course of one day,

summer, winter, fall and
spring pass together,

time can be accelerated.

So, he decreed it be so.

A decree?

How can the king change
nature and the course of time

with some ridiculous decree?

♪ Yes, I know that it must
sound a bit concerning ♪

♪ Difficult to grasp
and to explain ♪

♪ See, we waited so much
time for your returning ♪

♪ Everybody went
a little bit insane ♪

As you can see, even

All of those yeardays
accelerated time,

and here you are,
after 40 years.

I didn't come back here
because of some crazy prophecy.

I came back because
I received a letter

from my old friend Frelok.

Hmm.

Well, then you shouldn't
keep your friend waiting.

Okay, time to go.

Squick, get up.

What if Frelok has sweets?

Sweets!

Well, here we are.

Great. I can't wait
to see my old friend.

Whoa! Whoa!

- Squick!
- Aw, Anchor!

Boy, you recognized me!

You still remember me,
you good dog!

Where's your master, huh?

This is my lawyer
and my friend, Marcy.

Be careful, she bites.

Look at him go.

I wish I had your confidence.

And this is Squick.
Squick, this is Anchor.

Squick.

Hello, sir,
I'm here to see Frelok.

Would you happen to
know where he is?

It can't be!

Frelok? Is that you?

But we're the same age.

Not anymore.

Frelok, old friend.

It's me, Gulliver!

Stop shouting,
I'm not deaf yet.

Marcy, daughter,
why did you bring

this impostor to my house?

Daughter? Huh, it seems many
things have changed here indeed.

Frelok, buddy!
Don't you recognize me?

I don't know you,
and I don't want to know you!

Go away!

It's okay, Father.
He's a friend.

Let's go inside the house.

Come along, Father,
I'll make you some tea.

How can he believe
that I'm a giant?

He knew me. We fought
together, side by side!

I've already told you.

The guards came, they announced
you are the Man Mountain,

showed a decree with
the king's signature and seal.

How could he believe that?

Everyone believed it.

And I'm just like everyone.

You are not just
like everyone!

Remember,
on the Blefuscu flagship,

when we snuck aboard that night
and tossed the guards overboard?

Were you like everyone then?

Everyone else stayed on shore,
and you took a bullet for me.

We got the job done--

- Hey!
- ...and had each other's backs.

We didn't need decrees or seals.

No! It's forbidden
to speak about that!

I will hear no more of this!

- But Frelok!
- That's enough, Gulliver!

He was the only one
who told the truth!

Everyone laughed at him!

He was persecuted,
beaten, and spit on,

but he never betrayed you!

He kept saying, "My friend,
Gulliver, will return

and everything
will be all right."

But then they started
picking on me,

and only then did he agree
that you were a giant.

He did it for me.
He protected me.

I thought a hero would
come who would save us all,

but instead I got a selfish jerk
who only thinks of himself!

You're no hero!

Everyone wanted a giant,
but instead,

we got a man who's
smaller than Squick!

Gulliver! Buddy!

It took you ages to get here!

Yes,
it took some time.

I'm not so sure
exactly how long now.

- Don't you dare touch her!
- Father?

What's happening?

- Frelok?
- Come on!

Father, what have you done?!

It wasn't me!

It was...

Get them!

Oh.

Oh my God.

Marcy, Gulliver!

What have I done?

Today, at noon,
this square will witness

the execution of
the false Gulliver!

The impostor will be beheaded!

The executioner will
personally decapitate

those responsible for
the existence and support

of the pseudo-giant!

Today at noon this square will--

Yes, yes, very well stated.

No need to repeat it.
Your voice carries quite well.

Yes, well, citizens of Lilliput,
we shall begin!

A word from our beloved king!

Dear residents of Lilliput,

I, your favorite king,
proudly present to you today

- the execution of prisoners--
- Don't blame Father.

He didn't know
what he was doing.

Come on, I would
never blame him.

Frelok is my best friend.
He saved my life once.

Stop talking,
you're interrupting me.

Sorry, Your Majesty.
May I be granted a last request?

Well, I am a fair king.
What is your request?

Could you shut up for a minute?

I need to talk to my friend.

Did you hear that?

Oh yeah?

Executioner, proceed
with the execution!

I don't get it.
I can't see anything.

What kind of nonsense is this?
Who cut the peep holes?

Hm?

Oh, yes, I did.

Okay, it's fine.
I'll manage.

Oh.

Hmm?

Marcy, I wanted to
tell you something...

So? Did I get it?

Almost. A little to the left.

Oh.

To be more precise,
I wanted to ask you something.

- And now?
- More to the left.

Ask away.

Well?

Take a few steps back.

Marcy, tell me, was it Frelok
who wrote me the letter,

or was it you?

Forgive me,
please, if you can.

No, no. You don't
have to apologize.

I don't regret coming back,
because if I hadn't,

we may never have met.

And now? Did I get it?

Just a little
bit further back.

Marcy, If this is our
last moment alive,

I need to tell you,

I have never met
a girl like you before.

So while I still have a chance,
I want to tell you that I--

What about now?
Did I finally hit it?

To the right a little!
Stop interrupting us!

Fine!

Do I hear laughter?

Laughter? At me?

Ambassadors? Tell them I'm busy!

Okay, I'll be right back.

It'll be quick.

We're not really in a hurry.
Have a nice talk!

Gentlemen, honorary
plenipotentiary envoys

of Lilliput's sworn
enemy Blefuscu,

bow to his unsurpassed
majesty the King of Lilliput!

Thank you. Thank you, herald.

You are very kind.

Well, where are your bows?

Well, you two are not very kind.

On the contrary, dear king.

We are very kind.

Indeed? Wonderful!

We kindly allow
you to surrender.

If you have a head
on your shoulders,

you will give up your
tiny country of Lilliput

to our glorious leader,

Generalissimo
Bellicosso Blefuscu!

What? Did I hear right?

Give up? Guards!

Grab these two insolents
and throw them in jail.

We have a massive army, and
it's already at your borders!

Oh, really? You can't scare me!

I have something even
better than your army!

What is it?

- I have--
- What?

- Well, it's--
- Yes?

-It's a--I have--

- What?
- A giant!

Yes, a giant, I have one.

Yes, I have the giant.

But according to our data,
there are no giants.

Well, he's just arrived.

- May I see him?
- He's resting.

Tired from the road.

He is, you know,
still a man, albeit a giant.

Pass it on!

The giant is back and
he will crush your entire army!

Your Generalissimo
and the two of you,

oh, oh, this will be my
personal request,

will be the first to go!

- Tell me.
- Of course. Ask what you want.

Maybe another dessert, huh?

Uh, ugh.

So why have you brought me
here? Why the royal treatment?

No pun intended.

So witty. Why would I need
a reason to feed my prisoner?

So, you just want
to feed me properly

before the execution?

Gulliver,
you're so funny.

Okay, fine.
I need a little favor.

You must help me defeat
the Blefuscu army.

Hm. Interesting.

So you, Your Majesty,
are asking me for help?

Can't you handle
this on your own?

Well, I'll try to
explain it to you.

Or you could try on
the role of a soldier,

and defeat their army yourself!

Amusing.

But the role of soldier
is not fit for a king

such as myself.

Well, let's say
I agree. What's in it for me?

- Anything you want.
- Anything anything?

Well, not anything anything,

but just about anything
you want.

Ah, well, then.

I'd like you to release my
friends, and then you pay me,

- you pay me--
- How much?

Eh, how many
Blefuscians are there?

Oh, many thousands.

Many thousands?

So that number,
are you certain about that?

I mean, maybe you
made a mistake?

I am King!
I do not make mistakes!

Maybe some of
them called in sick?

Maybe some are on vacation?
I don't know.

Some could've went
to visit their moms?

We need to clarify that.

You recheck everything,
calculate the numbers

more precisely,
and then report back to me.

- Meanwhile I--
- Go ahead,

abandon your friends.

I do love a nice execution.

No. Look, I want to help, but
one man against thousands?

- It's impossible.
- It's not that difficult.

If Blefuscu sees that
the giant has returned

and is ready to fight his army,

then they will simply
run away in fear,

and Lilliput will be saved.

It's brilliant.
So, what do you say?

Oh yeah, brilliant! So did
he come back, this giant?

The giant is you!

There is one little thing,

a minor detail, really.

I am not a giant and
you were the first to say so.

Trust this minor detail to me.
I'll arrange everything.

How?

I am the king, and the king
knows what he is doing!

I will issue a royal decree
stating that you, Gulliver,

are a giant, a Man-Mountain,
a blah-blah-blah,

and the people will believe it!

You think?

I am the king,
and the king does not think.

I noticed that right away.

I mean, I know!

You've seen that in Lilliput,

even nature obeys
the king's orders!

- Yes, I saw your yearday--
- Enough!

Play your part, and I will
pardon you all. Deal?

Okay, deal.

But I have one
more small request.

Here we are.

Oh, watch your feet. Careful.

Oh, oopsie.

Mouse, come out.
Is this right, Mr. Gulliver?

Right you are.

Squick.

And what about the girl?
Do we release her?

Oh, I don't know.

We can keep her here.
It's no problem.

Squick?

But maybe we
should release her.

I mean, whatever would
she do without you?

Well, if you think so.

I do, and therefore all
of Lilliput would agree.

Okay, if you say so.

Like you said, what
would she do without me?

Remember this day.

After all, today you have
been released by the great,

the unsurpassed, the handsome,

some would even say beautiful
and who am I to argue,

whose name is--

Get over here so
I can strangle you.

Ah, how quaint,
the two of them.

Hear ye, hear ye!

According to royal decree,

the Gulliver who
recently arrived

by boat is none other than
the legendary Man-Mountain!

It happened!

The real Gulliver is back!

The giant is in the city!
He's going to the square!

Gulliver! Gulliver!

Gulliver! Gulliver!

Gulliver! Gulliver!

Gulliver! Gulliver!

Gulliver! Gulliver!

- Gulliver!
- Huh?

- Hello, buddy!
- Frelok! Buddy!

Sorry for betraying you,
my friend.

I didn't understand
what I was doing.

There's nothing
to forgive you for.

Forget it. I'm just
happy you're back!

What is the matter, citizens?
Disorderly conduct?

Do I need to put on my
city guard outfit?

What?

We wanna see the giant.

The giant? Have a look.

Here he is, our Giant.

Uh, yes, I am the giant.

Well, then, I'm a giant, too.

What exactly is
wrong with this giant?

We just want to make sure
that he is a real giant!

Our giant would
fulfill the prophecies!

Very true.
But we don't have to rush.

Okay, let's hear
your prophecies.
I'll see what I can do.

Well, for starters,
Gulliver must repair

our water supply system.

Yes, and Gulliver was supposed
to repair the city walls.

Right! Like the man says.

I am a woman!

That's what I said, ma'am.

Rebuild the wall,
do the plumbing,

and then the people and I will
believe that you are a giant.

Yeah, buddy, actions
speak louder than words.

All right! I'll do it!

Yes, huzzah!

I did it!

We'll do it together!

We all agree?

Ooh!

Please,
someone help me get off.

Oh!

Yeah!

People of Lilliput, the
city walls have been repaired!

Are you ready to fix
the water supply?

Okay, here we go.

Woo-hoo-hoo-hooo!

You expected giant feats.

Any success that I have
achieved is because of your help

and support,
and for that I am grateful!

Gulliver!

I would like to
tell all of you

what it means to be a giant.

A man becomes a giant not
just because he has big hands

and feet or a frightening voice.

His deeds, his faith in
himself make him a giant.

And all of you,
every one, can do great things.

Can I be a giant, too?

If you believe in yourself,

you will definitely become one.

Did you see that?

Yes, I saw it.

We must inform the
Generalissimo at once.

Delays, delays, delays!

My army ready to move right now.

Where are those Peters?

We are here,
my Generalissimo!

So, has that worthless
King of Lilliput surrendered?

No, my Generalissimo,
he refused!

Fine! I really
hoped he would refuse.

My army has thousands of
soldiers and the Clodhopper!

Besides, what is the point
of having a large army

if you can't crush
your enemies?

My Generalissimo, there
is one small problem.

- Problem?
- Yes, my Generalissimo.

The King of Lilliput
announced the return

of the giant Gulliver.

And he will fight on the
side of the Lilliputians.

What? You said he was
an impostor, not a giant!

Sorry.

We must have not seen
him right the first time.

Maybe the giant was
sitting down.

Should we delay our attack?

What? And delay my triumph?

Because of some
puny giant? Never!

This will be an even
greater victory.

Nothing will stop us,
giant or no giant.

We will crush the
hated land of Lilliput!

Besides, I thought such
a thing might happen,

and so prepared a surprise
for this giant, Gulliver.

Daddy, can I be a giant too?

Sure! If you just
believe in yourself.

Very funny.

Someday, you too can be just
like the amazing Gulliver.

You really think so?

He said so himself.

Okay, I may have went
a little overboard.

Can you forgive me please?

I got caught up in the
excitement of the moment.

I couldn't have done all of this

without both of you, so thanks.

Hmm, thank you and
please in one day?

Hmm.

Did I ever tell
you about the time

I visited Treasure Island?

Pretty impressive how
well things worked out, huh?

Definitely.

It's been a pretty
crazy experience.

At first, I regretted coming
back, but I'm glad I did.

I'm glad you sent that letter.

You're glad I tricked you
into coming back?

Well, if it
weren't for that letter,

I would never have
known that my friend

had such an amazing
and lovely daughter.

That's very sweet of you.

I'm sure you say that to
all your friends' daughters.

No, of course not.

I mean, Squick and I both agree

that you are our
favorite Lilliputian girl

who confuses her seasons.

Is that right?

- Oh, yes.
- Lucky me.

Marcy?

I wanna tell you...

I'm not very good
at this stuff, but I...

Hey! Watch where
you're going!

What's going on?!

Blefuscu's Army
is at the city walls.

- What?
- That's impossible!

That fast? Where are you going?

The city walls are that way.

I know!

Stop!

Your duty is to protect the
city! Get back to your posts.

Today we fight for Lilliput!

Not me!

King coming through!
King! King here!

Move it or lose it, buddy!

Gulliver, Marcy.

Your Majesty,
where are you going?

The Blefuscu Army is at the
city walls! You are the king!

And you are the giant.
You fight them.

I have more important
public affairs to deal with!

But tell me how it all ends.

- Out of the way!
- Make way for the King!

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

Take that, Blefuscu! Ha!

Gulliver! I'm ready to fight!

You sure are.

Get the kids to safety.

Come on, Wesley.

But I want to
fight with Gulliver!

Gulliver!

How many are there?

Come. Take a look.

There are at least
10,000 in formation,

and more still arriving.

What do we do?

Half of the city has left.

We're outnumbered
and poorly armed.

We can't fight
an army that size.

Are you suggesting
that we abandon Lilliput?

I don't want to but I don't
see any other option.

These people stayed
to defend their city.

We both know it's
too late to evacuate.

I know the odds are against us.

but we have fought
impossible battles before.

I know.

But this time we don't
have a battle plan

or the element of surprise.

♪ Linked as the strongest
chain, sure as the spar ♪

♪ When we're together,
we know what we are ♪

All right, but if
we're gonna do this,

we need to come up with a plan.

Just like
the good old days.

Only this time, we'll
have to use our heads

instead of our swords.

Hold on, I've got a crazy idea.
Listen up.

Greetings, invaders.

The magnificent and
mighty giant, Gulliver,

wishes to speak with
Generalissimo of
the Blefuscu Army.

Why should I talk
with this Gulliver?

There are rumors that
he is an impostor!

Generalissimo,
the renowned giant, Gulliver,

has a proposal that will spare
the lives of your soldiers.

He wishes to meet and
discuss this with you.

We will understand if you
have heard of his prowess

and are afraid to meet
him in person.

I fear no man,

especially not this
fictitious giant of yours.

Send him out to the battlefield

and I will meet him
face to face.

Huh, very good.
He will join you soon.

Well, my friend,
it's up to you to sell it.

Be careful.

Hello, general.

Here I am, Gulliver,
the renowned giant.

Just as I suspected.
You are a fraud!

But we saw it
with our own eyes!

Yes.
He raises walls

and destroys mountains
with his magic.

Your spies have
been paying attention.

Simple minds will
accept anything.

I don't believe
children's fairy tales.

I believe my own eyes.

Don't let my current size
mislead you.

Take a look around.

There are legends,
murals and a large gate

constructed specifically for me.

General, you seem to be
an intelligent man.

That is obvious.

And I am sure you are
aware of the noble tradition

of combat by champion.

I challenge you, as champion
of your army, to a duel.

- What?
- You and me, one on one.

The winner is the victor
of the battle.

I know what combat by
champion is, you ninny!

And why would I agree
to this madness?

I have a whole army behind me!

If I were an ordinary man,
that would make no sense.

But I'm Gulliver,
the legendary Man Mountain.

If you were to
defeat me in a duel,

you would be hailed
as the champion

who single-handedly
defeated the giant,

and conquered Lilliput.

Hmm.

The champion who defeated
the giant Gulliver.

You are beginning to look
like a giant after all.

But as a condition of
this duel, I ask you,

upon my defeat, accept
the city's surrender,

don't level it to the ground,
and don't harm the citizens.

And, of course, in the
unlikely event of my victory,

you agree to withdraw
this fine army.

Fair enough.

Compared to
the glory I shall attain,

I am willing to
concede these terms.

All right, I agree to defeat
you in a personal duel.

So be it.

Listen up, men!

I will fight the giant of
Lilliput single-handedly

for the glory of Blefuscu!

Well, Gulliver,
are you ready for death?

Hm.

If it comes to that.

Who could defeat
Gulliver the great,

the unsurpassed, the handsome,
some would say beautiful

and who am I to argue--

What?

Say hello
to the Clodhopper!

Seriously?

No!

Yearday!

Ooh, mm-hmm.

Gulliver, look! Yearday!

Huh?

Hmm?

That's enough!

You have defied me, and
dishonored the battlefield!

I, Gulliver the great,

will unleash my full power
upon you!

Your treachery will
not be tolerated!

Let fire rain down
from the clouds!

Where are you going, cowards?

And now you shall face
the bitter cold of winter!

Ya-hoo!

Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!

Ooh.

He saved us!

What the heck?

We did it!

I, the King of Lilliput,
as promised, kept my word.

And we, along with Gulliver,

defeated and smashed
the evil Generalissimo!

- Hurray!
- And how do you, Your Majesty,

manage to be in
two places at once?

Hiding in the bushes yet
still able to smash Blefuscu?

Laughter? I am your king!

Not anymore!

Gulliver, the people of Lilliput
deserve a better leader.

Would you do us the honor?

Your confidence in me
is appreciated.

However, I believe we have
a better man for this job.

Frelok.

- Me?
- You have been here

fighting against the lies
all of these years.

It's time an honorable man

serves the good
people of Lilliput.

Well? What say you?

Hear, hear!

Long live the king!

- Well, King Frelok.
- Hooray! Yay!

Good people,
today is a day of victory

for all of Lilliput!

Let us celebrate
the defeat of Generalissimo

and enjoy long lasting peace!

At last!

I guess this means
you're a princess now.

...need not fear.

Enjoy your life.

Finally, we are at peace.

Marcy, do you really need
all of this for our journey?

Of course! Your princess
deserves every comfort.

Where are your things, honey?

I'm wearing them.

I'm curious.

And they still made
it taller!

These Lilliputians
are incorrigible!

Almost!

Good morning, Gulliver!

Were you planning on telling
the king where you are headed?

Well, buddy, I mean,
Your Greatness, Majesty--

Buddy is fine.

Well buddy, wherever
the winds take us.

Ocean waves, wind in
the sail, new lands,

my beloved at my side!

Now that's the life!

You will come back
to visit, right?

Of course! In 40 years.

- Huh?
- Uh.

Just kidding.
We'll be back soon.

How could we stay away
from Lilliput for long?

This is our home.

Besides We have to put
that enormous city gate to use.

That reminds me.

I have one request for the King.

Your Majesty,
can you please

get rid of that stupid
yearday decree?

I think I can do that.

And you, be good to my daughter.

Of course.
I promise to teach her

all about the seasons
before we return.

Ouch!

And I promise to teach him
how to treat a lady.

Love you, sweetie!

He's learning.

Bye, Father.

Goodbye, precious daughter.
Come back soon.

Squick!

Bye, Lilliput! See you soon!

Fine. Go!

So was Gulliver
ever really a giant?

Only in
the fairy tales, lad.

You see, his deeds made
him larger than life.

It doesn't take a big
person to be a giant,

just a person with a big heart

and the courage to see
things through to the end.

Hey!

Here you go, Fin.

Wait your turn, Gil.
This is for Karl.

Here you go, Karl.
What a good boy you are.

Okay, now it's your turn, Gil.

Oh, I didn't forget
about you, Bubbles.

Huh.

Huh.
