Much as I love him, I don't think much could have saved that movie. Although I am perplexed why most versions of that tale restrict it only to Lilliput and Brobdingnag and not expand on to Laputa or the Houyhnhnms.

In the book, no one believes Guillver's tales when he comes back but he's more dismissed with a chuckle, and as the POV character, we KNOW what he went through was...
