Jack and the Beanstalk - The Real Story

Email | Print | Share


Product Details


This ambitious miniseries begins with Jack's descendant (Matthew Modine) and works its way backward to the story of the original young man and the beanstalk. Because the first Jack used that towering vine to steal a giant's magic goose and harp, an entire world was reduced to poverty and a bloodline was cursed--all Robinson men die in their 40s, and the modern-day Jack is around that age. Fortunately, Ondine (Mia Sara), a visitor from the giant's alternative reality, has a plan. If she and Jack can recover the stolen items in time, they may be able to solve both problems. The made-for-TV movie boasts top stars (including Vanessa Redgrave and Jon Voight) and Jim Henson's Creature Shop's nifty special effects. Although children younger than 10 may find the complex narrative confusing and the implied violence scary, Jack and the Beanstalk is an inventive retelling that adds new life to an old story. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Product Reviews


(5 stars) - classic tale w/ a modern twist
This movie puts a modern twist on a classic tale. It's sort of like the story behind the story. Well written with good acting. Good DVD quality. I like that it incorporates the traditional "bad" giant myth with an understanding that the giant wasn't so bad afterall.


(5 stars) - WOW!
We absolutely loved this movie. Took a few evenings to watch it, but it was well worth it. Our 8 and 9 year old are still enthralled with fairy tales and this was definitely a fresh take on an old story.


(5 stars) - Jack and the Beanstalk
Excited to get this video - very happy with price and DVD. Our grandkids love this movie!


(4 stars) - an unusual spin...
an unusual spin to an "old" fairy tale. I bought it for my young niece and enjoyed watching it with her. She is 4 so I fast forward the scary scenes now which doesn't make her happy (she likes scary). An appropiate film for older children


(5 stars) - Jack and the Beanstalk:The Real Story
The item was in perfect condition and sent in a speedy manner.I am very pleased with this contact!
