- Good Deal, Great price
This was exactly what I was looking for.In this day of anime violence and off-color innuendo in kid's programming, I have been picking up DVDs of entertainment from my own childhood to share with my grandchildren...and they love it!!!They even go around singing the songs from the movie, corny as they are.

- You NEED to know Jack!
Having not seen Abbott and Costello's "Jack and the Beanstalk" in several decades, I have to say that is so much more than I remember.

What can I say about these movies abbott and costello made in the 50's. They did a cute job on this fairy tale story. Always good to see again and again.
Rating: 
- Not much annoying A&C schtick, but not much to redeem it either... not even the kids would watch it.
I bought this expecting (based on reviews) something more...
Granted, the usual irritating mannerisms weren't plentiful - but there was still plenty of, "Why, you..." and fist shaking.
This movie most notably lacked a good script. It took some good ideas (the Jack story is embedded in a modern-day tale of babysitting for a bratty little kid, some potentially charming embellishments on the fairy tale itself), but the writing (this thing must have been churned out in a week ...
