Anecdotes
[7:46]The tune played by the Old-bean seller is the same as the one sung at [16:20] when the beanstalk starts growing.

Gaffes
[25:47]When Jack first arrives in the castle. Princess Margaret tells him he smells of pigs, chickens, and geese, but does not mention cows or dogs, which were the only animals on the farm. Earlier when Jack's mother is reprimanding him for giving the cow away for beans, she tells him, "all your father left us was that cow".

Citations
Madam Hecuba: [as a singing toy] You're just a lazy, good for nothing, lump of blah, you look like something someone left out in the rain, you're so mean and ugly you should be against the law, you're a monster you're just a pain, scary, hairy, sloppy, floppy, you're an awful shock, that old face of yours would stop a clock, any sort of clock, I wouldn't kiss that ugly mug of yours, no one would if she could, you make me yuck!, sick, sick, sick, sick, sick!
[Tulip smashes toy]

No one's happier than I (when i watch this movie).

Me and my brother (see Footplex's entry) have loved this movie for years and will continue to do so.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* WATCH THE MOVIE BEFORE READING THIS REVIEW

The imagery is amazing: despite the fact I've seen this movie well over 30 times the final confrontation between Madam Hekuba (sic) and Jack, never fails to leave me in awe. Also the Preparation for the wedding with the paper guests (watch it to know what I'm talking about).

The music: The haunting sweetness of the song "no one's happier than I"* Stays with you for days on end. And also Madam Hekuba's "any sort of clock"*.

But when the 2 elements come together they work magic: The frightening "Are you happy?"* sung by the paper minister as the Bride and Groom contemplate their futures together. Crosby singing to the beanstalk. And "Miracles can happen"* when the plant raises to the sky is breath taking.

This film is wonderful, but the only down points I can see is when Jack has the songs i.e. the (far to silly) "Tulip."* And Jacks song "Simple Farmer Boy"* and "All of it is due to me."* It seemed as though his songs were thrown in to try and lighten the darkness of the film.

But because of the GREAT story the wonderful songs and..... interesting use of sound effects and dubbing I give this film a 100 out of 10 (i know it's not mathematically possible but this is MY review)

*I don't know what the official titles for these songs are so I took a guess.
