The part of Gulliver was played by Vladimir Konstantinovich Konstantinov, who was born in 1920 and died in 1944 near Tallinn in the Second World War. This was his first and only film role. ==Synopsis== The story, a Communist re-telling of ''Gulliver's Travels'', is about a young boy who dreams of himself as a version of Gulliver who has landed in Lilliput suffering under capitalist inequality and exploitation.

In the dream Petya travels by the ship, during swimming its vessel is attacked by pirates. Together with three captives the boy fights with them and wins, but at this moment and the piracy ship breaks about rocks. The teenager recovers ashore, surrounded and connected by Liliputians. He is lulled a sleepy potion. At this time parliament there is debate on that what to do with new Gulliver. It ends in a fight — the small close up in which it is visible is curious that the first minister doesn't have enough several teeth. Ministers on behalf of the king make the decision to use Gulliver in the military purposes. The boy is transported to the city by means of 15 tractors and a special platform. Petya is awoken by the king, having put a sceptre to it in a nose. He learns about the decision, the accepted parliament, but disagrees with it. After that under his feet passes military parade. At this time somewhere in cellars passes meeting of workers. Strike is appointed next day. The workers who decided to find out who he is, find Petya's notebook on Russian from which learn that it for the mighty union of workers of all Earth. Petya is fed from the conveyor, giving food the crane. There is all Royal Court. The corps de ballet. When to it start singing as remarkably there live the people under the leadership of the wise king, Petya interrupts the singer and starts singing the pioneer song. It is picked up by workers in cellars. The yard runs up, having been horrified. The police chief decides to kill Petya, and instructs employees of underground plant to make party of the weapon. Workers warn him, the police at once learns about it, but at this time strike already begins. Workers take an arsenal. The police tries to poison the boy, but he doesn't swallow poison, and spits out it, having pretended that died. Military operations begin. Insurgents are rejected to the sea by armed forces of Liliputia, but Petya goes into action, it seizes the royal ships. Workers on the earth develop success, undermine land mines and tanks. The guard and the yard run up. The king doesn't keep on a tower and, falling, is hooked for an arrow of the tower clock. Petya blows in the horn which inexplicably appeared at it in hands removes from a tower belfry with hours a bell and in the manner of a hand bell shakes it. Then says: "Free Liliputiya's meeting I declare open!" also wakes up under laughter of companions as it told the last phrase aloud. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The New Gulliver」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
