4.0 out of 5 stars Different Twist on the story...., August 23, 2000

This review is from: Jack & The Beanstalk [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Ok, so it starts out that Jack takes his cow to town, but the auctioneer gives him beans instead of coins and his Mom throws them outside. But the next morning he gets up and decides they can sell all the beans on this beanstalk...so he starts picking them and climbs to the top. He doesn't meet the giant until there are about 30 minutes left in the movie because he meets a girl whose harp was stolen and a donkey and they meet trolls and vultures and peasants on their way to the castle. (All of them sing songs...but the giant doesn't sing any which is a shame because he's Tone-Loc.)Anyway, the giant gets electrocuted because he is chasing Jack around with a fork and gets hit by lightning...well that's as far as I will go or you will miss out. I think the ending was too abrupt though. Kids will enjoy it!

2.0 out of 5 stars Video is too different than the original story., June 11, 2002

This review is from: Jack & The Beanstalk [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I thought the video should have portrayed the original storyline. It gets drawn out in parts and isn't suited for very young children (2-4 years). Some parts are pretty scary. I really didn't like the video and wouldn't recommend it.
