BLUEBIRDS IN THE MOONLIGHT (SILLY IDEA)
GULLIVER'S TRAVELS   -   1941
Max Fleischer's 1939 classic Gulliver's Travels is based on the famous 1726 novel by Jonathan Swift. The film is set in 1699 on the fictional island of Lilliput. The film was released in 1939, and the popularity of the film kept in rotation at movie theaters into the 1960's. The film's copyright wasn't renewed, and the film ended up falling into the public domain. Because of this, many home video releases were created in poor quality because the original negatives were not available for those inferior versions. More recently, there have been releases that feature restored versions that were made from original negatives and prints.

BLUEBIRDS IN THE MOONLIGHT (SILLY IDEA)

There are bluebirds in the moonlight
Silly idea, bluebirds in the moonlight
But that’s how I feel when I’m with you

There are night owls in the daylight
Silly idea, night owls in the daylight
Or maybe my heart is saying hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo

Who is the one for me
You, that’s what you’ve done to me
There are bluebirds in the moonlight
Silly idea, bluebirds in the moonlight
But that’s how I feel when I’m with you
