Jack And The Beanstalk DVD

Abbott & Costello star in this version of "Jack and the Beanstalk".

After a "modern" prologue in monochrome, Bud and Lou adapt their usual sharpie-and-patsy roles to colorful fairytale settings, and Buddy Baer is an excellent foil as the fearsome giant. (Listen for cartoon-voice Mel Blanc playing several roles in the "I Fear Nothing" song.) Makes a fabulous children's matinee.

The legendary comedic duo Abbott and Costello provide fairy tale fun for kids in this wacky version of Jack And The Beanstalk. While babysitting a small boy, Jack (Lou Costello) falls asleep and has a wild dream in which people from the real world appear. Abott plays Mr. Dinkelpuss, the conman who tricks Jack into selling his cow for fist full of beans. Throughout Jack's adventures, there are several singing and dancing sequences.
