The Adventures of Gulliver is a 1968 television cartoon produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions. The show is based on the novel Gulliver's Travels. The show aired Saturday mornings on ABC-TV and lasted for one season in original broadcast.
While searching for his father, Gary Gulliver and his dog Tagg end up shipwrecked on an island. On this island is the kingdom of Lilliput, where its inhabitants have a height of only a few centimeters. Gulliver and his dog are caught by the Lilliputian people, while they're recovering from the shipwreck, but afterwards they become great friends. With the help of the Lilliputian people, Gulliver continues searching for his father and the treasure using a map his father gave to him. Also in search of the treasure is the evil Captain Leech who, in the adventures, is always attempting to steal the map from Gulliver.
All 17 complete episodes of the series were produced, and were originally broadcast on ABC in the fall and winter of 1968-69. The episodes were rerun through the summer of 1970. In 1971, the show became part of The Banana Splits and Friends Show, the syndicated version of The Banana Splits Adventure Hour.
