Revolting Rhymes: Jack and the Beanstalk

Jack was nimble, Jack was keen. He scrambled up the mighty bean.

This is Jack and the Beanstalk as you've never known it before in this darkly comic twist on a classic fairy tale.

Jack's mother is furious that Jack has traded their cow for a single bean - until she realises the bean has sprouted into a ginormous beanstalk with golden leaves! But when Jack discovers there's a hungry giant with a keen sense of smell at the top of the beanstalk and comes home empty handed, his mother takes matters into her own hands . . .
