People are voting emotionally.

an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Grew up watching this cartoon from the age of around 4-5. I am now 27 years old and still love it as much as I did when I was younger.I still have a copy of the tape my parents made for me with this cartoon on it. I am holding onto it as I want my kids to watch it as I did.How creepy is the bearded fortune-teller? And I don't think I've seen a more terrifying cartoon witch! Tulip is both funny and scary and Crosby provides some great moments.Quite simply, the greatest feature-length cartoon ever. The characters, the songs, the sinister/eerie moments, the sadness and happiness - it's all here.

I am glad that I am not the only one who was looking for this, yes everyone felt this way about this movie. It wasn't just me. I requested this at the library, wrote the local paper requesting it, I just had to see it again. I still haven't seen it since I was a kid,but.....I don't need to. Seeing it once as a child, if you are lucky enough to do so,creates the true magic. These characters still live in my head as does the music. We were poor children, and this one of the true free things that was beautiful to me. I'd love to buy it and pass it out to all my brothers and sisters at Christmas. Stevie even said "Jenny, if you find that one, you're the bomb" I want to be the bomb. How much does this masterpiece go for? Can I find it anywhere? I was born in 1974, just like this movie and it would be the best birthday present ever. My only child is 3 months old and I want him to watch this lots and be rich in mind and heart forever with the mice.

I grew up with this film, watching it every time I visited my Nan & Grandad, who had it on video. My sisters, cousins and I remember it with great fondness, although our parents thought it was 'creepy and weird'. It holds some original characters as well as the traditional Jack, the giant, the magic harp etc. The plot starts off as we all know it, with jack buying some magic beans of a stranger, planting them and the beanstalk growing over night. Jack climbs it to discover a land where a beautiful princess, her castle and all those who live there are kept under a spell by the giant and his evil mother (?). The mice are fun and loveable characters, probably my favourites. There is a feast of enjoyable songs, one of which ('No one's Happier Than I') I often find myself humming, even to this very day. Unfortunately my Nan sold the video at a car boot sale ten years ago and I haven't found a copy since. It's a very rare find if you do. Your kids will treasure it.

It's funny how the film sticks with you. I've asked everybody I know if they remember it, but I always got blank stares, so much that I thought I'd imagined the film and the brilliant songs. How can I get a copy? If anyone has it, can it be put on the computer or downloaded?
