A faithful but safe retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk with Tom and Jerry as supporting characters, aimed at very young children.

Fans praised

  • lively pace and plenty of action for young audiences
  • clever, witty writing with classic slapstick and charming nods to fairy tales
  • bright, detailed animation and inspired character designs (especially Mr Ginormous)

  • linear, predictable plot with no twists or suspense
