Trivia

This is the fifth of seven "package films" released by Walt Disney's company in the 1940s due to wartime budgetary constraints. They were called "package films" because they were feature-length films containing two or more short films tied together by surrounding material. In this canon, Fun & Fancy Free was preceded by The Reluctant Dragon, Saludos Amigos, The Three Caballeros, and Make Mine Music and followed by Melody Time and The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad.

Quotes

Edgar Bergen: [as the beanstalk climbs into the stratosphere] And all through the night, it grew onward and upward.
Charlie McCarthy: That thing is a menace to aviation.

tiny treasure
25 January 1999 | by (Plymouth, MN, USA) – See all my reviews

This is a good combination of two animated stories/shorts: Bongo and Micky and the Beanstalk. while watching a mixture of stories and a mixture of animation and live action was a little awkward, Jiminy Cricket held it together. This film's latest release on video gives everyone the opportunity to see this tiny treasure for the first time. While, it doesn't rank up with the Best of Disney's animation, it is still worth seeing, if nothing else for Walt Disney's last film as the voice of Mickey.
