Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn the first classroom scene, you can see a drawing of a flux capacitor from Back to the Future (1985) on the board behind the Headmaster (played by Christopher Lloyd, who also played Doc Brown, the inventor of the flux capacitor in the film). He also erases 1.21 gigawatts from the board at the end of the scene.
- GoofsIn the pillow-fight scene, the stunt double for Jillian (Chloe Moretz) receives several close-ups where the face is clearly seen to be Asian.
- Quotes
Nervous Lumberjack: I never wanted to be a lumberjack anyway. I always wanted to do something different with my life.
Mayor Lichfield: Well, what did you want to be?
Nervous Lumberjack: I always wanted to be...
Mayor Lichfield: What? What?
Nervous Lumberjack: I always wanted to be...
Mayor Lichfield: Say it, man!
Nervous Lumberjack: A pet store owner.
Mayor Lichfield: What?
Nervous Lumberjack: Yes. Huggable dogs, hamsters, little rabbits, a Norwegian Blue Parrot.
Crowd at Lumberjack Rally: A Norwegian Blue Parrot? Got beautiful plumage!
- Crazy credits"No fairy tale characters were harmed during the making of this film, except Humpty Dumpty. Best wishes for a speedy recovery to Humpty. (P.S. - Thanks for the omelette!)."
- Alternate versionsFor the Feature Films for Families release, the following has been edited to meet their approval:
- The black screen with the echoing "Fee, fi, fo, fum" was omitted at the very start.
- The headmaster: "I'm thinking of changing your major to something else -- starts with a V, anyone? Village idiot!"
- The shot of children filling out the classroom was shortened to 11 seconds [the last six seconds has been omitted]
- Jack's mother says "Stupid goody, goody elves."
- Grayson the goose's introduction scene has been abridged to remove the offensive material.
- Jack and Grayson's climbing up scene has been shortened
- two Grayson's instances of Grayson's obsessing about destiny has been omitted.
- Officer Where calls Officer What 'stupid' has been skipped.
- three instances of Grayson's saying 'crud' (2 muted from the soundtrack; 2 cut from footage).
- Grayson obsesses about having a party has been omitted.
- the white & black pillow-fighters scene has been shortened to remove the offensive material
- Jillian's breathless recitation to Grayson's questioning what she can do for them has been omitted.
- Grayson's Peanut Butter & Jelly musical number has been completely replaced with Jack saying "Whoa!".
- Grayson's explanation of Opposite Day to Jack and Jillian calling it stupid has been cut.
- Jillian: "...or trick the idiot day".
- Grayson: "... and make everyone puke".
- Jack calling The Giant "dog breath".
- Jillian trying to tell Jack why she betrayed him and his telling her to shut up was cut.
- Jack seeing Jillian putting coins in a bag, her saying "Even heroes have to eat" and "It's that whole take from the rich and give to the poor thing", and Jack saying "Okay" was cut.
- Grayson crediting his thumbs for tying The Giant's shoelaces and Jillian telling Grayson to take her hand was cut.
- The frame towards the ending has been mirrored.
- Jack's mother telling the mayor "Hey, mister, off the bedonkadonk."
- The post-credit scene has been completely absent.
The creation of Jack and the Beanstalk, I believe, was hurried and not too much focus on creation. I mean, the giant was not even a giant, more like a big puppet, etc.
Most likely you will take the kids along to a theater to see and hope they will enjoy just the silliness of it all and not my luck of seeing a screener as an adult and no kids along while expecting a totally different style of movie. A More serious adaptation maybe? I think Disney would have done a better job.
My forecast for reviews of Jack and the Beanstalk will be, in grade level, user's (C) and critics (C). Or a 5 rating in IMDb.
