Jack and the Beanstalk Reviews
Entertaining Children's Film
It takes a while to transport yourself mentally back to a simplier time but once you get there it's an enjoyable escape. As one of the other reviewers mentioned, this is similar to the "Wizard of Oz" in that there is a dream sequence that transports the "hero" (Jack) back in time. While it's a fairy tale, there are moral overtones.
The greedy butcher loses everything in trying to hold on to the goose who lays the golden egg. The evil giant is defeated. Jack, who is an unsuspecting hero comes out on top at the end. True romance comes through as the prince and princess discover they love each other for who they are and not the titles they hold.
Children will get the messages. They're all straight-forward. The costumes add to the film. There are musical numbers, including dancing throughout. This is a nice escape film which is very family friendly.
Horrible video and audio transfer!
This was a gift. I knew enough to stay away from Madacy products. The quality of the print is just awful with lines, missing frames, terrible contrast, fuzzy focus, washed out color, and the worst sound I 've ever heard on a DVD. I wish I could recommend a good copy of this movie but I don't know where to get one since it's public domain.
