Jack and the Beanstalk - The Real Story Review
I recently bought the DVD for my seven year old son, Jack and the Beanstalk, the Real Story. My son could not stop watching this DVD. The quality along with the characters that portrayed in the movie were excellent. Anyone who is looking to go and buy the movie on Jack and the Beanstalk, I strongly suggest that you buy this very inexpensive DVD. You will be glad that you did!

- Notes: Brand New from Publisher. No Remainder Mark.
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
