Gulliver Returns
Gulliver Returns (titled in Ukrainian: «Гуллівер повертається», romanized: Gulliver povertaietsia) is a 2021 animated comedy film produced by 95 Animation Studio and Gulliver Films. Based on an original idea by Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Borys and Serhiy Shefir, and Andriy Yakovlev, it is directed by Ilya Maksimov, with a screenplay by Michael Ryan. The film is a loose adaptation of Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift.
The film premiered at the 2021 Shanghai International Film Festival on 18 June, and was later released in Ukraine on 19 August.
World traveler and adventurer Gulliver is invited to return to Lilliput, the town he previously saved from the enemy fleet of the neighboring Blefuscu.
When he arrives, he only finds indignation, panic and a hopeless crowd, as the King of Lilliput made his people believe that the legendary Giant Gulliver was returning. Instead, they discover an ordinary man, when the whole town had been getting ready and building accommodation to welcome a giant. Disappointed, the King orders Gulliver's execution. Meanwhile, the invincible Blefuscu armada is at the gates of the city and threatening again.
During his adventure, Gulliver discovers that time moves faster in Lilliput and Blefuscu than anywhere else in the world, meaning the grown Lilliputians that Gulliver met on his first adventure are now elderly or have passed away. The now-adult Lilliputians, like the current king, only remember Gulliver as a giant and have passed on that belief to their children.
Gulliver will prove that it is not necessary to be a giant to do great things, but that friendship and love can prevail, with a little bit of luck, a quirky mind and a disarming smile, a charismatic athletic body trained to be a master of swords.
Gulliver Returns was originally submitted alongside a film sequel to Servant of the People by Kvartal 95 Studio at the 2016 pitching of the Ukrainian State Film Agency for state funding. However, following a controversy related to a Kvartal 95's performance in Jurmala where Volodymyr Zelenskyy –parodying the then-president of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko– referred to the government of Ukraine as "a beggar", the studio withdrew both projects from the event the next day.
According to producer Oleg Khodachuk, the final budget for the film was of $10 million USD, more than half of it coming from his own account.
