Jack and the Beanstalk is an fairy tale based upon the tale Jack the Giant-killer. First printed in 1807, Joseph Jacobs' 1890 version is the most commonly reprinted version today.
The story has been adapted and referenced for generations. William Shakespeare quoted the giant's "Fee! Fie! Foe! Fum!" in King Lear and Stephen Sondheim used Jack and his trips up the beanstalk as part of his Broadway musical
Into the Woods. Mickey Mouse had an animated version in 1947's Fun and Fancy Free (narrated by Edgar Bergen, Charlie McCarthy and Mortimer Snerd), and other cinematic interpretations include Bugs Bunny, Abbott and Costello, The Three Stooges and Gene Kelly.

Good cast but looks cheap
Strange film, very good cast with a pantomime script and what must have been an expensive set which looked incredibly cheap.
Little things bugged me like the gap around the eys of the monsters mask.... I don't get how they didn't fill it in to look better!
Gave it 5 stars out of 10 for the simple fact my child sat through it and enjoyed it and it kept me relatively interested.

Plot
The protagonist, a boy named Jack, lives with his mother and faithful friend the dog Crosby on a farm left to him after his father's death.
They live in poverty, and the only wealth of the family is a cow that suddenly stopped giving milk. Mother sends Jack to the market to sell a cow. Along the way, Jack meets a mysterious one-eyed old man who offers Jack to trade a useless cow for a handful of magic beans. Jack agrees. At home, an angry mother throws the beans out into the street and gives Jack a beating for having succumbed to the offer of an old rogue.
Waking up in the morning, Jack discovers that the beans really turned out to be magical - during the night they grew a huge stalk to the sky. A small mouse descends to the ground along the stalk, which tries to explain something to Jack, but he cannot understand it. Jack, Crosby and the mouse climb the beans and enter Cloudland. There, Jack meets the beautiful Princess Margaret, from whom he learns that her parents were killed by an evil witch. But now Margaret is happy, because the next day she will be married to the beautiful Prince Tulip. She shows Jack a portrait of Tulip, and Jack is horrified to see a disgusting giant with huge fangs instead of a handsome prince.
Margaret introduces Jack to Tulip's mother, Madame Hecuba (in the Soviet dub, Mrs. Noir), and she invites Jack to stay for dinner. After dinner, Jack instantly falls asleep, and Hecuba hides in a large pot to eat the next day.
Tulip returns from the forest. During dinner, he smells Jack and, despite the protests of Hecuba, begins to look for him. Opening the lid of the pot where Hecuba hid Jack, Tulip and Hecuba discover that Jack has disappeared. Hecuba orders Tulip to find Jack.
Meanwhile, Jack and Crosby, along with the mice, who turn out to be inhabitants of the Land of the Clouds bewitched by Hecuba, end up in the treasury of the palace. The keeper of the treasure, the magical Harp, tells Jack that Margaret is under the spell of Hecuba, who wants to marry Tulip to Margaret in order to become Queen of the Land of the Clouds, but Hecuba's witchcraft does not work at night.
Jack refuses to help the mice disenchant the princess. He again penetrates the treasury, steals some of the jewelry, but catches the eye of Tulip.
With difficulty breaking away from Tulip's pursuit, Jack and Crosby climb the beans home through the well. At home, Crosby lets Jack know that he did the wrong thing and should help Margaret. Jack himself understands this, and they return to the land of the Clouds.
In the treasury, Harp tells Jack that the only way to break Margaret's spell is to kiss her. Jack bursts into the palace church, where the wedding ceremony for Margaret and Tulip has already begun. Without thinking twice, Jack kisses the princess, and Hecuba's spell is broken.
Tulip starts chasing Jack and Margaret. Those manage to break away from Tulip, but along the way they stumble upon Hecuba, thirsting for revenge. Tulip appears. At the behest of Hecuba, he is going to crush Jack and Margaret with his foot, but suddenly changes his mind and steps on his own mother, who always humiliated him and called him a monster.
Sorcery is broken, mice have turned into humans, Margaret has become queen. Jack and Crosby make their way down the stem home, but Tulip is chasing them.
Having descended, Jack calls his mother and asks her to bring him an ax. Jack cuts the beanstalk, Tulip falls from a height and dies.

Jack and the Beanstalk. In search of meaning, morality and illustrations. — 50 answers
A couple of days ago I received the book Jack and the Beanstalk with fig. Oleinikov. Read it with my daughter right away. I vaguely remembered from childhood that I really liked the story. And now, with pleasure, I plunged into it again... meaning. My consciousness was already ready to agree with all this, but an inner voice from childhood whispered: “no, it’s not like that, in fact, this is a cool fairy tale, children need it.” And I believed him, and went for evidence, for the search for meaning and morality. And here is the conclusion I came to.
Above, photo of Yusuke Oono's three-dimensional illustration for the fairy tale.
Brief plot of (from Wiki), for those who have not read or forgot:
“A widow forced to sell a cow sends her son Jack to the market. On the way, Jack meets an old man who offers to exchange the cow for magic beans, from which the stalk will supposedly grow to the sky. An angry mother, having learned about this deal, throws the beans out the window. The next morning, Jack sees that the old man was telling the truth. The curious boy climbs the stem until he finds a road leading to a house. At the house, Jack meets a giantess and asks her to feed him. A kind woman fulfills his request. But then the owner of the house, the cannibal giant, returns home. The giantess hides Jack in the stove. Entering giant says:
|
| Fi-fi-fo-fam |
|
When the giant falls asleep, Jack goes home, taking the bag of gold.
However, he then returns to steal the golden egg-laying chick. And the third time for the singing harp. The ogre gives chase, but Jack cuts the stem and defeats the giant.
A bit of history.
There are several versions of the tale in English. Some differ from the translations known to us in that they give more nobility to Jack's deeds. For example, the fairy tells him that it was this giant who killed his father. Or that a wonderful chicken (or goose) and a singing harp were stolen by a giant from Jack's family.
From myself, I note that the giant is often described as a cannibal. In my book, fig. Oleinikov, several times it is described that the Giant ate a fried boy for breakfast. Those. he's clearly not a douche.
My thoughts on morality and meaning.
So, the Cannibal Giant is obviously evil, despite the fact that his wife is not bad. It is possible that she herself is not happy to have such a husband, since she saves Jack.
Most likely, the Giant stole all this gold, and the chicken, and the harp from someone, if not Jack's family. And he probably still has a lot of those things. Therefore, I do not think that Jack stole something honestly earned. And that in general it is necessary to treat his act as theft. Now I will explain the course of my thoughts.
Think back to the times written in the fairy tale. It was very difficult for a widow with a small son, without an inheritance and relatives, to feed herself. Then, she could not find a job and become a business woman or a secretary, or a cleaning lady at worst. Jack himself tries to find a job, but nothing comes of it, no one needs him. And then, thanks to his courage and desire for the unknown, he discovers a place where you can get good and live comfortably.
Jack didn't just go to his neighbor and steal from him, although that would have been easier. He showed dexterity, ingenuity, courage and was able to get food for himself and his mother, he survived, and at the same time punished the evil Giant - the devourer of children.
I don't see anything wrong with his behavior. It's just that modern life has moved a little away from this story. Now, almost any person (healthy), living in a more or less developed country, can find a decent job and earn a family, and even get rich, even if he was born in a poor family and without a father. Of course, this is not always easy and requires a lot of effort, but at least it is real. And before, there were much more boundaries between classes, stereotypes and opportunities. A healthy strong man - that's who could take care of himself, but not children and women (they, however, could marry the right man J). Therefore, Jack does not have any options how to cheat, take risks, because there is no other way to survive, he is starving when the villain lives on someone else's wealth having snickered. Quite normal logic for life in those conditions.
It does not need to be translated into our realities: they say, go, child, and steal a piece from the rich man, who himself did not receive it honestly, if you do not want to wait and earn it yourself when you grow up.
