JIM AND THE BEANSTALK

by Raymond Briggs ‧ RELEASE DATE: Oct. 2, 1970

It's that beanstalk again,"" sighs the giant, sharing his breakfast of beef and beer with just-arrived Jim: he's no match for his father who fee-fi-fo-fumed at Jack, and no more than a relic of his former self. He can't read. . . Jim prescribes glasses; can't chew? false teeth; bald? a wig. And when he's a new man--'You'd better go now and chop that beanstalk down before I crunch you up.' This is the sort of revival that will delight some people and repel others--except for the spectacle of Jim carrying the giant glasses, false teeth and wig through the streets it's no great shakes either way.
