The Adventures of Gulliver is a television cartoon produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions, created in 1968. The show is based on the novel Gulliver's Travels.

While searching for his father, Gary Gulliver and his dog Tagg end up shipwrecked on an island. On this island is the kingdom of Lilliput, where its inhabitants have a height of only a few centimeters. Gulliver and his dog are caught by the Lilliputian people, while they're recovering from the shipwreck, but afterwards they become great friends. With the help of the Lilliputian people, Gulliver continues searching for his father and the treasure using a map his father gave to him. Also in search of the treasure is the evil Captain Leech who, in the adventures, is always attempting to steal the map from Gulliver.
