About the movie: Gulliver washes ashore on Lilliput and attempts to prevent war between that tiny kingdom and its equally-miniscule rival...

1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Gulliver's Travels (1939)?
a.		John Houseman was cast as Professor Kingsfield only after director James Bridges tried and failed to interest James Mason, Edward G. Robinson, Melvyn Douglas, Sir John Gielgud, and Paul Scofield. Although Houseman had appeared in a small but important role in Seven Days in May, he had previously been known primarily as a radio (The Mercury Theatre of the Air; 1938s The War of the Worlds), stage (Orson Welles Mercury Theatre) and film (Julius Caesar) producer, and this was his first major film role. It won him the 1973 Academy Award as Best Supporting Actor.
b.		Originally, Richard Donner had filmed Superman talking to his father for Superman II, but Marlon Brando sued for (and won) a percentage of the profits of the first film, so the producers had his scenes removed, and they were replaced by those with Supermans mother instead. The lawsuit also resulted in him receiving a share of the proceeds from this movie - even though he doesnt appear. These scenes with Brando appear in Superman II and can be heard briefly during a scene in Superman Returns
c.		The film is loosely based on an experience from the Directors past. In the early eighties, while he and a few friends were driving home, they were chased by a car, for several hours, through backwoods roads.
d.		All of Prince Davids dialogue is sung, not spoken. All of Princess Glorys dialogue is sung except for a single spoken line at the end.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Gulliver's Travels (1939)?
a.		The character of Gulliver was "rotoscoped" - a method devised by the Fleischers where the drawing was achieved by tracing over the movements of a live actor.
b.		The coffee shop in the movie has been shut down, repainted and is now a yogurt store.
c.		The thirtieth of forty-eight Bowery Boys movies.
d.		This is the second film that features the character of Buffalo Bill and Anthony Quinn playing cheyenne. The first one was The Plainsman (1936).

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Gulliver's Travels (1939)?
a.		Mallorys line to Scagnetti about him being "so specific" when he asks her to pinch his nipple was improvised by actress Juliette Lewis on set.
b.		Katharine Hepburn wanted George Cukor as director, but after the failure of Sylvia Scarlett, producer Pandro S. Berman refused to let them work together again.
c.		Huey (Dennis Hopper) says, "You cant just go to your local video store and rent Easy Rider to be a rebel." Hopper directed and starred in "Easy Rider".
d.		The world premiere of this film was on November 18, 1939 at the Sheridan Theater in Miami Beach, Florida, because the Max Fleischer Studio was in Miami, Florida. The New York City trade-showing premiere was two days later, and the national release date followed that by two days.

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Gulliver's Travels (1939)?
a.		Dr. McCoy says he would be more comfortable giving Spock one of his kidneys, than carrying around Spocks soul in his own mind. In Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, McCoy gives an elderly woman a pill that causes a new kidney to grow--so if McCoy had donated one, it wouldnt have been a big loss!
b.		Because their song Testing 1,2,3 inspired the title of the film and their song Alumuinum closes the film, Barenaked Ladies receive a special thanks in the end credits.
c.		After getting the rights to George Jonass book "Vengeance", Steven Spielberg commissioned three scripts: one from David Webb Peoples and Janet Peoples, one from Charles Randolph, and one from Eric Roth. Roths script was chosen and subsequently revised by Tony Kushner, after Kushner first declined to co-write the screenplay; he felt it was too controversial and too complicated to be his first screenplay for a feature film.

d.		Edited using Final Cut Pro.

6.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Gulliver's Travels (1939)?
a.		The title was changed to "Personal Column" midway through the original U.S. theatrical release because staff at the Production Code Administration thought the word "lured" sounded too much like "lurid". Director Douglas Sirk felt the title change confused potential audiences and led to the films box-office failure.
b.		The play opened on Broadway in New York City, New York, USA on 12 March 1917 and closed in June 1917 after 112 performances. It was revived on 20 February 1928 with Ina Claire as Pearl, Constance Collier as the Duchess, Reginald Bach (who also directed) as Thornton Clay, and with Lillian Kemble-Cooper and Madge Evans. The revival ran for 128 performances and closed in June 1928.
c.		The film marks the debut of singer Gwen Stefani. Martin Scorsese was looking for someone to fill the role of Jean Harlow when he noticed Stefani appearing on a Vogue cover poster in New York.

7.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Gulliver's Travels (1939)?

b.		The song "Its a Hap-Hap-Happy Day" was used extensively in the scores of subsequent cartoons by Famous Studios, Fleischer Studios successor.
c.		The first Western film allowed to be shown in North Korea.
d.		The man in the taxi who spends the entire film waiting, with the meter running, is Howard Jarvis. Jarvis led the 1978 push for Proposition 13 in California, which was a money-saving and tax-cutting initiative that led to massive cuts in public services in California. Jarvis must have understood the irony of the joke by making the appearance, though the reference is probably lost on many people now.

8.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Gulliver's Travels (1939)?
a.		The song "Polly Wolly Doodle" was featured in "S.O.B.". William Holden starred in both movies.
b.		Banned in Thailand.
c.		In 1993, Sydney Pollack was the front-runner for the directors chair for this film and it was expected that Robert Redford would star. At the time, other contenders for the female lead included Susan Sarandon, Jessica Lange, Barbara Hershey and Anjelica Huston.
d.		To produce this feature film, the Fleischer studio had to nearly triple in size, from about 200 artists to nearly 700. Max Fleischer had a 32,000-square-foot plant built in Miami to accommodate the new personnel, as well as to take advantage of that citys tax exemptions on film studios. (The fact that unionization had not taken hold in Florida was also a consideration, as there had been a long struggle to organize the Fleischer animators, culminating in a strike in 1937.)

a.		The opening street bazaar scenes were filmed on the same studio backlot built and used for The Desert Song a few months previously.
