    • Trivia
      The song "A Woggle Bird" was originally written by Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen in 1962 as "A Woggle Bug", for a planned adaptation of L. Frank Baum's The Marvelous Land of Oz. When the Oz project was canceled, the song was suitably revised for this film. Eventually the Oz project was revived, and was finalized as Journey Back to Oz (1972), without the Woggle Bug character or any version of this song.

      As the giant picks Jeremy up, the harness holding Jeremy up is visible above him. This happens again when Jeremy is trying to open the door in order to free the goose, especially after Jeremy has let go of the door handle and is falling to the floor (at 0:45:17 on the DVD). This was done with a blue screen and harnesses.

      Jeremy Keen, Proprietor: Well, it's an old saying: love laughs at locksmiths.

      Jack: I don't get the joke.

      Jeremy Keen, Proprietor: You will when you grow up.

    A superior children's feature
    Better than many of today's children's videos, this little gem of live action plus animation from the '60s deserves to be seen again. The Hanna-Barbera production won an Emmy when NBC first broadcast it in 1967. The principal live characters are played by Bobby Riha, as Jack, and by Gene Kelly as his adult companion. (In the original fairy tale, of course, Jack has no companion, but there are obvious reasons for including a sidekick, who in Kelly's hands becomes the main character.) The giant is a gruff but comically inept animated figure whose voice is provided by Ted Cassidy. A variety of other animated characters appear, including two hilariously weird birds who dance a tango with Kelly. All the dancing, as one might expect, is terrific, with Kelly reprising the sort of dancing-with-animation he pioneered in the 1945 film "Anchors Aweigh." The songs are by the experienced Hollywood team of Sammy Cahn and James Van Heusen. As actor, singer and dancer, young Riha is a satisfying partner for Kelly. The familiar Hanna-Barbera animation may look flat and uninspired to contemporary audiences, but it does its job. Highly recommended.
