Jack and the Beanstalk on AllMovie

With just one weekend to perform a heroic deed before he flunks out of fairy tale school, a desperate young student embarks on the adventure of a lifetime in this fun twist on the classic tale featuring Gilbert Gottfried, Chevy Chase, Christopher Lloyd, Katey Sagal, and James Earl Jones. Throwing caution to the wind, young Jack trades his C.O.W. (Computer of Wonder) for a small pile of magic beans. The following morning, Jack is stunned to find that his beans have sprouted into a stalk that leads straight up into the clouds. Ascending the stalk, Jack discovers a wondrous new world where anything seems possible, and discovers that heroes can come in small packages when they have the courage to face their fears.
