"Gulliver's Travels Beyond the Moon" is a 1965 anime film inspired by Jonathan Swift's classic novel "Gulliver's Travels," reimagined as a science-fiction adventure. The story centers on Ricky, a young orphan boy who dreams of exploring the stars. After being inspired by a scientist named Dr. Gulliver, Ricky joins a group of misfit companions—a talking dog named Mack, a wooden soldier named General, and a scarecrow named Mr. Snitch—to build a spaceship and embark on a journey to the mysterious Planet Blue.

The group's adventure begins when they encounter the real Dr. Gulliver, who has returned from his travels and shares his wisdom with them. Together, they launch their spaceship and set course for Planet Blue, a world believed to be a utopia. Along the way, they face challenges, including a treacherous asteroid field and a confrontation with the evil Emperor of the Planet of Illusions, who seeks to deceive and trap them. The Emperor creates illusions to manipulate the crew, testing their resolve and unity.

Upon reaching Planet Blue, the group discovers a peaceful, advanced civilization that values harmony and cooperation. However, their arrival coincides with a crisis: the planet is under threat from a destructive force. Ricky and his friends must use their courage and ingenuity to help the inhabitants of Planet Blue overcome this danger. The story emphasizes themes of friendship, perseverance, and the pursuit of dreams, as the characters grow through their shared experiences.

The film blends elements of fantasy and science fiction, offering a unique take on the original Gulliver's Travels narrative. Ricky serves as the determined protagonist, while his companions provide comic relief and moral support. Dr. Gulliver acts as a mentor figure, guiding the group with his wisdom and experience. The antagonist, the Emperor of the Planet of Illusions, represents the challenges of doubt and deception that must be overcome to achieve one's goals. The narrative structure is straightforward, with a clear progression from Earth to space and finally to Planet Blue, culminating in a resolution that reinforces the importance of hope and collaboration.
