Plot: Mythic Journeys is an inventive fusion of documentary, story, artwork and animation. Despite the fact that myth has always existed, surprisingly few people today are aware of even the classic myths or the potential myths have to impact their lives. Myths are the reservoir of human wisdom - the story and the meaning of life. Every human being has asked the questions who am I, what is my purpose, why am I here? The answers are in the myths that have been passed on from generation to generation. Mythology is a tool that can bridge cultures, communities and generations. Through this film we hope to inspire people to activism and show that by helping others we ultimately help ourselves. There is a saying, "Love without action is meaningless, but action without love is irrelevant." It's time to act, it's time to evolve. We are the ancestors of the future. Thousands of years from now we are going to be those handprints on the cave walls. And people will look back and say those were our ancestors; what did they do? They say they lived their lives to the fullest. So, it doesn't matter how we die, it only matters how we live. Every life is a story and that story can change the world.

Plot: A story within a story. In Australia's Northern Territory, a man tells us one of the stories of his people and his land. It's a story of an older man, Minygululu, who has three wives and realizes that his younger brother Dayindi may try to steal away the youngest wife. So, over a few days and several trips to hunt and gather, Minygululu tells Dayindi a story set in the time of their ancestors when a stranger came to the village and disrupted the lives of a serious man named Ridjimiraril, his three wives, and his younger brother Yeeralparil who had no wife and liked to visit his youngest sister-in-law. Through stories, can values be taught and balance achieved?

Plot: All star adaptation of Jonathan Swift's satirical tale about a normal man who, after returning home following eight years of absence, relates fantastical tales about how he was thought to be giant in the Land of Lilliput, but was only six inches high in the Land of Brobdingnag. He also tells of his visit to the floating island of Laputa populated by scientists who are so obsessed with reason that they act with no common sense. Finally, he tells of his journey to the land where his disturbing likeness to the bestial Yahoos and his inferiority to the intelligent horses there makes him question the very worth of his humanity.

Quotes:

Emperor of Lilliput: Well, you weren't exaggerating... he's a whopper!

Emperor of Lilliput: Good plans, boys, but I don't think we should actually murder him. You were so keen on killing Mother last year and now I miss her dreadfully. You're both too impulsive!

Empress of Lilliput: [while passing under Gulliver whose trousers are ragged] Colossus!

Lemuel Gulliver: The bestial Yahoos fight for no reason all. While we on the order hand fight for very good reasons, such as, well, our enemies are weaker than us or we desire all their land.

Lady-in-Waiting: I was wondering if the little gentleman might be for sale.::Farmer Grultrud: No disrespect, my lady, but no amount of money is going to part the two of us.::Lady-in-Waiting: I have here five-hundred pieces of gold.::Farmer Grultrud: Do you want to take him tonight?

Gen. Limtoc: Yesterday we gave him enough to feed a regiment for a week. Now he says he's hungry again!

[Gulliver has just kissed the Empress of Lilliput's hand, covering it with drool]::Clustril: Bring towels and a bucket! [to the Emperor] It seems his lips were a bit... wet.

Adm. Bolgolam: [the Emperor, his sons, General Limtoc and Admiral Bolgolam, Clustril and other s are in the Lilliputian campaign room, discussing Gulliver's 'inventive' way of extinguishing a fire] This is an outrage! He made water in the royal grounds! It's a treasonable offence!::Emperor of Lilliput: But he saved the Empress' life!::Gen. Limtoc: At what cost? Our stepmother may never go out in public again, convinced that she's the laughing stock of Lilliput!::Emperor of Lilliput: But she's not that... [to Clustril] Is she? [Clustril sniggers]

Gen. Limtoc: [Gulliver, who is looking into the window of Lilliputian Great Chamber of War, blows off Clustril's hat] Giant's a bloody menace!

Lemuel Gulliver: [to Clustril] I want you to have this.::[Gulliver gives him his wedding ring]::Clustril: Oh, marvellous! What do I want with your ring, eh? I can't wear it, can I?::Lemuel Gulliver: It's *gold*.::Clustril: [takes it in awe] You always were good to me! You were always my friend! Dad! We're *rich*!::Drunlo: Never mind that, son, never mind that. I think I've found... the other boot!
