Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Personally, I think this is one of the best versions of Jack and the Beanstalk. While it strays from the "true" version of the fairy tale, the additions are bizarrely funny and don't detract from the story. In fact, they add a new fun element to it.
Jack's got a dog, and the magician who sells the beans is really weird. Up the beanstalk is probably the craziest part, and where the story strays the most. The giant is a huge ugly ogre, and instead of a nice wife who gets jack out of trouble, he has an insanely wicked witch for a mother. She has enchanted the entire "kingdom in the clouds" so that the beautiful (but anime looking) princess will marry her son (who's name is Tulip of all things), and turned the entire court into animals that cannot talk. They are the ones who help Jack defeat the giant.
This is beautifully animated, and has some great music along with it. I doubt you will be disapointed in this hard to find version. And trust me, once you've seen it, you'll never forget it! The only reason I gave it four, instead of five stars is because I realize it won't float everyone's boat. But, I think many kids would really love it. My little brother and I sure did when I was growing up.
