Production was approached for the Fleischer Studios, which Paramount has long cooperated. Fleischer Studios gold already as a big competitor to Disney in the field of short cartoons, so this was a logical step. Initially the brothers had Fleischer no intent to make a feature-length cartoon. Paramount pulled them over by a new, modern studio in Miami Beach, Florida to offer. The Fleischers, who were dealing with a strike in their studio in New York, the agreement went.

In the spring of 1938 the Fleischers began work on Gulliver's Travels, while in Miami the new studio was built. In the autumn of that year was made the move to Florida instead. Paramount put a deadline on Fleischer Studios and demanded that the film had to be ready for the Christmas of 1939. To precisely was attracted new staff from Hollywood, including a number of draughtsmen of the Disney Studios. The staff of Fleischer Studios as a result grew from 200 to more than 700 employees.

In the original work, the emphasis is on the social satire: the Lilliputians have, for example, a comprehensive and ridicule social hierarchy. Fleischers had to be widely accessible, however, a family film movie, and the hierarchy was replaced by a simple kingship. Nevertheless, wanted Max Fleischer, echoing Swift, called a social message.

All the characters are ultimately friendly and benign; the conflicts caused by ignorance, not by wickedness. The Fleischers responded to the criticisms of Disneys snow white. That movie got some bad criticisms, because some scenes and characters would be too scary for children-such as snow Walker death and the evil witch.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-6" len="177" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"> [6]

This were the movements of an actor filmed and turned into animated graphics. The Gulliver from the movie could happen to realistic, like Prince David and thereby Princess Glory. As a result, also adopted the contrast with the other stripfiguur like Lilliputians far.

The radio host Sam Parker also reacted and was selected,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-7" len="177" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[7]  because his voice and motor skills were suitable for those of Gulliver.
