A Pretty Wild Version Of 'Jack And The Beanstalk', 20 May 2008
8/10
Author: ccthemovieman-1 from Lockport, NY, United States

I read where this was the first of the Celebrity Productions Comicolor cartoons. Color at the movie theater had to be a very, very big thing to audiences back 75 years ago. The cartoon still entertains today.

Jack and his mom are broke and hungry. The animals in the house are starving, too. It's not a pretty sight. Even mom's purse is depressed. (Inanimate objects often talk or come alive in these 1930s cartoons.). The purse says, "What are we going to do now?" Everyone is skin-and-bones but Jack sells the family cow for three beans. They turn out to be magical, of course, but you knew that! The beanstalk that sprouts overnight goes miles into the sky and Jack decides to check things out.

This really becomes an otherworldly fantasy with some crazy sight gags that include stinky feet and a hen that lays golden coins that automatically go into a cash register.

"Fee fi, fo fum" about sums up this entertaining classic cartoon.
