A five-minute video showcases the children's tale, Gulliver's Travels, by Jonathan Swift. While the narrator reads rhymes, an animated Gulliver sets sail to visit several new destinations—each with a fantastic adventure. Clickable links take viewers to the story in bullet-point form, a list of character descriptions, fun facts, and background information on the political relation to the tale.
