KOCH VISION ANNOUNCES THE MARCH 2009 RELEASE OF…
MAX FLEISCHER’S 1939 ANIMATED CLASSIC...

NOW AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME ON BLU RAY
Presented in Widescreen on DVD and Blu Ray for the first time ever, with both the original mono and newly enhanced stereo and 5.1 soundtracks, both the DVD and Blu Ray have been magnificently restored and re-mastered.
Jonathan Swift’s celebrated and timeless fantasy is brought back to splendid life to enchant yet another generation of families like never before.
Following the adventures of the shipwrecked sailor Gulliver among the tiny inhabitants of Lilliput, the family classic has long been considered one of the greatest achievements in feature animation history.
Nominated for two Academy Awards (Best Original Song and Best Original Score), the music-filled Gulliver’s Travels features such songs as “All’s Well,” “Faithful Forever,” and “It’s a Hap Hap Happy Day.” The releases boast such Bonus Features as two classically collectible “Gabby” cartoons and the Fleischer Studios documentary “The Making of a Cartoon”, thus creating two distinct and highly collectible discs.
Planned for release on March 10, 2009, pre order for both the DVD and Blu Ray versions is set to February 10, 2009.
Priced aggressively, the Blu Ray Edition is set at only $19.98 SRP, and the standard DVD Edition at only $14.98 SRP.
