Jack and the Beanstalk TV Special

Even growing up in the 80s, my childhood entertainment exposure was saturated with classic movies, and this rare gem from Gene Kelly offered signature melodies, fun choreography, and a bonus, G-rated love interest in the storyline. Even throughout twenty years of having no access to the movie, the film's imagery of the beanstalk immediately came to my mind upon mention of Jack and the giant. Love it. I only wish that the original soundtrack were available in an updated format, particularly the song "One Starry Moment," which I have been humming ever since I ordered it from Amazon. If you aim to offer children a healthier diet of entertainment than is generally available these days, I highly recommend this movie.

Brought me back to being a kid with the awful graphics and all. Great movie. Would recommend.

This is a wonderful little movie made by Hanna-Barbera for television in 1967. It features Gene Kelly and combines animation and live-action. This is the third time Mr. Kelly takes part in this kind of movies (after Anchors Aweigh and Invitation to the Dance) and ,although the animation is not as lavish as in those movies (because of the TV budget) , it is highly recommended for both children and nostalgic adults ... and features many delightful songs .

Bought this movie for my 4 and 6 year old Grandsons. I watched it first to make sure there was nothing scary about it. (The Giant)A lot of singing & dancing and cute story telling. We enjoyed watching it together.

Wonderful just like I remembered it!

Good old classic that I loved as a kid and now my children are enjoying it

i love the movie i will buy from you again

Jack and the Beanstalk was a break-through in animation mixed with live action. Even though it was made for TV, they did not stint on the effects available at the time. If anyone has not seen Gene Kelly dance and sing with the Woggle Birds, this should go on the mandatory viewing list.

Remember seeing this as a child and still good today. It does need some cleaning up but don’t let that put you off. At just under an hour - great fun. Super to see the marvellous Gene Kelly strutting his stuff. What a talent.

Very nice thanx :-)
