Origin[]

Gabby is a diminutive, excitable town crier from the fictional land of Lilliput. Gabby is depicted as a loyal and enthusiastic servant to King Little, the ruler of the island nation. Despite his small stature, Gabby possesses an outsized personality, with a distinctive high-pitched voice and energetic demeanor.

Gabby's most memorable trait is his unwavering dedication to his duties as town crier, as he tirelessly informs the citizens of Lilliput about important news and events. He often finds himself embroiled in the various conflicts and adventures that unfold throughout the film, serving as a comedic foil to the more serious characters around him.

Throughout the film, Gabby demonstrates his courage and resourcefulness, frequently coming to the aid of his fellow Lilliputians in times of trouble. Despite his tendency to get himself into sticky situations, Gabby's heart is always in the right place, and he ultimately proves himself to be a valuable ally to the protagonist, Gulliver.
