1958

This is Tom Tichenor’s new version of Jack and the Beanstalk. Animal marionettes tell the story. Jack Rabbit sells his cow for magic beans. His mother throws them out the window and a giant beanstalk grows up overnight. Jack Rabbit climbs the stalk to the Giant's castle and finds the Sun Bonney Bird which belongs to Jack's family before the Giant stole it. With the help of the Bird, Jack takes the money that belongs to him and runs down the beanstalk with the Giant in pursuit. Jack's mother and grandmother help him chop down the stalk and the Giant is killed. Jack's cow is returned to him because she won't stand on her head for anyone but Jack.
