Storyline
The Scarecrow trades Jasper a handful of beans for his harmonica. Jasper plants the beans and climbs up the resulting beanstalk and, at the top, finds a beautiful girl in a golden cage playing a golden harp. Jasper rescues her from the Scarecrow, brings her down the beanstalk, and spends the rest of his days dancing to the music his girlfriend plays on the harp.

Just watched on Google Video Jasper and the Beanstalk, a George Pal Puppetoon series entry about a little black boy and his adventures with a talking scarecrow. This one has the scarecrow giving Jasper some "magic beans" which grows into a giant beanstalk. The harp that Jasper rescues has a voice that sounds like the great Lena Horne but could possibly be just a perfect impersonation. Since this is only a 7-minute short, not much explanation is given of whether this was only a dream or otherwise but one doesn't care after a while since nearly all of it is entertaining. It would be nice to see this and other George Pal Puppetoons, however, in better condition than I've seen on Google or YouTube.
