GULLIVER'S TRAVELS
October 21, 2012  | By David Bianculli

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

 
What a treat: Tonight, TCM is devoting its prime-time lineup, and beyond, to a celebration of classic, rarely televised animation. Start at 8 p.m. ET with the Fleischer studio’s 1939 Gulliver’s Travels, a full-length cartoon that was the less successful answer to its chief rival’s earlier movie-length animated release, 1937’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Other cartoons shown tonight include 1949’s Ragtime Bear (an early Mr. Magoo short, at 11 p.m. ET), 1950’s Gerald McBoing Boing (at 11:08 p.m. ET), and 1953’s The Tell-Tale Heart (a nine-minute cartoon version of the Edgar Allan Poe story, at 11:51 p.m. ET).
