Jack and the Beanstalk is one of the most iconic fairy tales, and as such, it is often parodied in media. These stories usually follow the original fairytale more or less closely — characters obtain magic beans, sometimes as part of being swindled, from which a giant beanstalk grows that leads to a castle in the clouds, inhabited by a giant. The giant will often be guarding a Damsel in Distress (most commonly a living harp), a goose that can lay golden eggs, a vast amount of treasure, or any combination of the three. Some works may also have the twist that the giant may not actually be that big, and is using the castle as compensation for his diminutive size. Changes and omissions are rare, but sometimes include replacing the giant for another villain or threat, dropping the beans' origin story, or replacing the beanstalk with another plant or tall structure. This trope is more commonly seen in surreal works; in works more grounded in realism, this will often be used as story being told to the works' characters or used as an Imagine Spot or a dream by one of the characters. In both cases, this trope is rarely played straight in modern media; like most stock fairy tale adaptations, it's usually lampshaded, parodied, or deconstructed in some manner. It's also fairly common for the residents of the land in the sky to be "played" by the work's regular cast. In some cases, the giant's castle may be part of a larger world up in the sky. This is fairly rare, however; most often, the castle or mansion is all that will be visited or described. In video games, this trope is used when a level (usually a Level in the Clouds or a stage that leads to one) takes place on a giant beanstalk. This may often involve fighting giant insects and walking across clouds. A giant may appear as the level boss at the end of the stage. A Sub-Trope of Fairy Tale Episode, Journey to the Sky, and usually a Fractured Fairy Tale. Compare Cinderella Plot, another fairy-tale reference trope. |

31 Minutos: In "La alcancia" (The Piggy Bank), Juanin is instructed by his friends to buy a "Super Chancho Alcancia" (Super Piggy Bank). However, he is tricked by Tio Pelado into buying him some seemingly magic beans. Just as expected, the beans grow into a huge beanstalk that leads not to a giant, but to God himself. He reveals the beans aren't magical at all, and just made them grow in order for Juanin and his friends to have the chance to choose between all the wisdom in the world and a golden Super Super Piggy Bank. They choose the piggy bank. | |

The Noonbory and the Super 7 episode "Cozy and the Rosy-stalk" is loosely based on the fairy tale. In it, Cozybory trades her art supplies to Rosygury for a magic rose seed. The rose, whom she calls "Cozy-Rose", then grows giant, but instead of leading to a castle in the sky, Cozy-Rose comes to life and takes things from the borys to give to Rosygury, who was unaware of what Cozy-Rose was capable of. | |

The Thomas & Friends book "Thomas and the Beanstalk" involves Thomas, having heard the story of Jack and the Beanstalk, delivering a train of beans, when he gets knocked down by Diesel 10, causing his load to spill into the ground. A giant beanstalk grows from the beans, with railroad tracks circling it, allowing Thomas to climb it. When Thomas reaches the top, he sees a golden engine being held prisoner by The Giant and a giant Diesel 10 (big enough for The Giant to ride in). In the end, the story appears to have been All Just a Dream from Thomas, but then Thomas' driver finds a piece of gold-colored coal from the Golden Engine in his bunker. | |

Looney Tunes: The 1942 short Foney Fables has a scene where Jack is chased down the beanstalk by a two-headed giant. The giant pauses after a while because one of his heads is sick. The 1943 short Jack-Wabbit and the Beanstalk has Bugs Bunny going up the beanstalk to get some giant carrots and meeting a dopey giant. The 1954 short Goo Goo Goliath has a drunken stork mistakenly delivering a giant baby, who was meant to go to the top of the beanstalk, to a normal-sized couple. The 1955 short Beanstalk Bunny features Daffy Duck in the Jack role, Elmer Fudd as the giant, and Bugs... well, he's just along for the ride. The 1957 short Tweety and the Beanstalk has Sylvester going up a beanstalk and trying to capture a giant Tweety while avoiding his owner. |

The Tom and Jerry Show: In the short "Beanstalk Buddies", Tom and Jerry's last bean falls off their plate, through the floor of their shack and into the ground. While they sleep, the bean grows into a beanstalk. Tom and Jerry's shack is carried with the beanstalk into the sky. The next morning, they encounter a giant whose treasures include a talking harp and a goose that lays golden eggs. After they return home with the treasures and the giant's dog, Tom and Jerry enjoy a seven-course meal, made for them by the harp. | |

Animaniacs: The short "The Warners and the Beanstalk" has Yakko, Wakko and Dot in a parody of the story, with Hello Nurse as the harp and Ralph as the giant. It later turns into a parody of Green Eggs and Ham when the Warners try to coax the giant with gold eggs and meat. The Pinky and the Brain special "Spell-Bound" features a cameo by the Warners (in a possible Call-Back to the earlier short) retrieving a singing harp resembling Dean Martin. |

Sesame Street: In one episode, Jack grows a beanstalk but refuses to climb it for fear of damaging it. In one of the news skits, Kermit climbs a beanstalk and meets a giant (played by puppeteer Jerry Nelson in a rare live action cameo). In Episode 3046, after Mike reads Elmo the story of Jack and the Beanstalk, Elmo decides to plant his own beanstalk so he can climb up it and get some golden eggs, despite Mike trying to tell him it's only a story. However, when Elmo plants his beans, the beanstalk doesn't grow right away, making him upset. Big Bird tells Elmo to imagine the beanstalk while he waits for his beanstalk to grow, and that's what Elmo does. In his Imagine Spot, Elmo reaches the top of the beanstalk, but has to be careful not to wake up Mike as the Giant as he takes the golden eggs. |

The Faraway Tree has an unofficial crossover with Jack and the Beanstalk (being in the Public Domain) where the main characters visits the Land of Giants. They even encounter Jack himself (a bit of an Anachronism Stew as the book is set in the 1940s, unless the Jack they encounter is a descendant of the original) before using Jack's beanstalk to escape from some giants. | |

Nord and Bert Couldn't Make Head or Tail of It: The level "Shake a Tower" revolves around Spoonerisms. At the end, you visit a stockroom full of pairs of jeans. The back of the jean stock becomes Jack and the Beanstalk, and a man surveying the jeans (a jean client) gets turned into a clean giant, who climbs up the stalk. You meet him at the top of the stalk, where he pours a bucket of thick butter down it so you can't climb as easily. To defeat the giant, you give him your hat, which contains a head louse. Turning it into a lead house, you crush the giant and tie bed sheets (from the beets in his shed) to climb back down. The client isn't done yet, and shows up once more at the bottom, where you deliver a crushing blow to defeat him for good. | |

New Super Mario Bros. U: The Secret Level Skyward Stalk has Mario and his friends climb a series of beanstalks that continuously grow taller. The leaves wither quickly, however, so they act as Temporary Platforms. After the level ends, a rainbow bridge is created at the top of the tallest beanstalk to unlock a shortcut to the sixth world. The level Beanstalk Jungle in New Super Luigi U subverts the trope, as the beanstalks are growing but the level progresses horizontally, and at the end the characters enter a red pipe that takes them instantly to the skies (though the world map still shows a tall beanstalk opening a rainbow bridge to the sixth world). | |

Mr. Young: Invoked. "Mr. Freshman" involves Adam trying to convince Ivy to go to college by relating to her a story of how he also felt college was to difficult and went back to regular school (Adam being only 9 at the time) and accidentally caused the class project of growing beans, to grow a massive Beanstalk trapping Mr Tater up the top. Professor Fenway keeps trying to implement a giant into the story to fit with the fairy tale, to Adam's annoyance. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: One of the various random effect that can be created by planting the contents of a bag of beans is the creation of a towering beanstalk that, if climbed, leads to a random sky-themed location such as a cloud giant's floating castle, the Elemental Plane of Air, or "a great view". | |

The Goodies: In "The Goodies and the Beanstalk", the Goodies fall on hard times, and Tim and Graeme send Bill to sell their trusty three-seater trandem. All the local townspeople find it ridiculous and Bill is humiliated by only being offered a tin of baked beans. Tim and Graeme are disgusted with only getting baked beans, instead of money, but Graeme gets the idea to plant a bean. This rapidly grows into an enormous beanstalk — reaching all the way from England to the summit of Mt. Everest. In hot pursuit of their beanstalk, the Goodies enter an "It's a Knockout" competition, which is being held at the foot of Mt. Everest. Among other things, the Goodies have to climb the beanstalk to the top of the mountain, as part of the contest. There, they find the Giant's castle and, in it, a Giant of surprising height who has a valuable secret to protect. | |

The four decide to write their own sequel to the story after questioning the ending of Jack having an unconscious giant in his front yard. In this sequel, Jack is arrested for theft, attempted murder of a giant, and chopping beanstalks out of season. Meanwhile, the giant takes back the Goose that lays golden eggs and uses the gold to turn his castle into a mini-mall. | |

Super Mario Bros.: New Super Mario Bros. U: The Secret Level Skyward Stalk has Mario and his friends climb a series of beanstalks that continuously grow taller. The leaves wither quickly, however, so they act as Temporary Platforms. After the level ends, a rainbow bridge is created at the top of the tallest beanstalk to unlock a shortcut to the sixth world. The level Beanstalk Jungle in New Super Luigi U subverts the trope, as the beanstalks are growing but the level progresses horizontally, and at the end the characters enter a red pipe that takes them instantly to the skies (though the world map still shows a tall beanstalk opening a rainbow bridge to the sixth world). Mario Kart 8: Part of Cloudtop Cruise takes place on a giant beanstalk. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars: Bean Valley consists of a colorful forest/jungle that ends with a brick block that has a beanstalk leading to the clouds. There are more beanstalks up there connecting to Nimbus Land, where Mallow was originally born in as the long-lost prince. Mario Party 5: The minigame "Leaf Leap" begins as the characters plant beans that grow into beanstalks. As these beanstalks grow, they have to jump from leaf to leaf to reach the top. The player that climbs the highest within the time limit wins. Paper Mario 64: Since the villainous Huff N. Puff is clouding the sky with his Puff Puff machine during Chapter 6, sunlight isn't reaching the plants. Mario aims to defeat Huff N. Puff after destroying his machine, but to do so he needs to gather some items first: a Miracle Bean that can grow into a tall beanstalk, a Fertile Soil to plant the bean onto, and some Miracle Water to make it grow. With the items gathered and the beanstalk grown, Mario climbs it to reach the Cloudy Climb and look for the boss. At the end of the ordeal, he frees the sixth Star Spirit and continues on his adventure. |

Jack climbs it and reaches the castle of Mr. Giant, who is not a giant at all (in fact, he's shorter than Jack) but has a "motivational mirror" that makes him think he is.

Happens in the Cow and Chicken episode "Chicken's Fairy Tale". Chicken trades Cow to a farmer for five Canadian jumping beans. Once the beanstalk grows, he, Flem and Earl climb it and end up next to the castle of a giant impersonated by the Red Guy. Just like in the "Chicken and the Beanstalk" example above, Cow is alerted by her "udder sense" that the three friends are in danger, so she changes into Supercow and saves them. Flem then lays a golden egg which they use to buy Cow back. | |

In the Futurama episode "Leela and the Genestalk", Leela has a disease that makes her grow tentacles. A con man sells Fry some "magic beans" to allegedly cure Leela, but Farnsworth throws them out the window and they grow a beanstalk. When they get to the top, they meet a giant, along with several other genetically engineered people. However, there is nothing magical going on; the castle is a laboratory run by Mom, and the giant is actually a human suffering from severe gigantism who volunteered to try Mom's genetic engineering as a cure. The beans and the resulting beanstalk are also the result of her genetic experiments. | |

Magic: The Gathering: Eldraine, a plane based on fairytales, has this as a recurring motif. Throne of Eldraine has the cards "Beanstalk Giant", depicting a giant covered in twining bean vines, and "Tall as a Beanstalk", where a character realizes he was supposed to plant the beans, not eat them, once they begin sprouting out of him. Wilds of Eldraine features this more prominently in its main story, where Kellan and Ruby need to climb up a huge beanstalk during their quest in order to consult a magic mirror belonging to the giant Beluna Grandsquall, who doesn't lightly tolerate "smallfolk" in her home. These sorts of vegetable towers are apparently relatively common in Eldraine, and are home to immense vegetal serpents when they aren't animated things in their own right. |

The next day, Jeffy discovers that the (cooked) green beans grew into a giant beanstalk and he climbs it. At the top, Jeffy encounters the Green Bean Giant, who turns him into a green bean after he “uses the name of green beans in vain�. Jeffy turns back to normal after relenting to eat the green beans he dislikes so much. | |

In Puss in Boots, "Jack and the Beanstalk" really happened, but it happened about 60-100 years ago, as evidenced by the fact that Jack is now an old man. The main plot is about Puss, Humpty Dumpty and Kitty growing a second beanstalk and climb to the castle in the sky, where a goose laying golden eggs is now said to live. For this end, they have to steal the remaining magic beans from Jack (who's an outlaw here) so they can plant them. | |

In one episode of Timon & Pumbaa, Pumbaa brings home a trio of magic bugs that produce a beanstalk which takes the duo into the sky, where they encounter a giant bug that they decide to eat. Unfortunately, they neglect to realize that the bug is bigger than them, and as such, are at risk of being eaten by it. | |

Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster and the Beanstalk (also known as The Great Beanstalk) is a video game for the PS1 and PC where the goal of the game is to get Buster Bunny and Plucky Duck into The Giant's castle by finding pieces of a key. This is done by using hints given by the loudspeaker (by Babs Bunny), and pointing and clicking on objects found in the game. There are a total of three keys to be found on Easy Mode, but changing the difficulty to Hard can give the player a longer adventure. Elmyra Duff takes on the role of a magical witch that can capture Buster or Plucky, hindering their quest for a bit. | |

Mad Jack the Pirate: In the penultimate episode "Mad Jack and the Beanstalk", Snuk loses the money Mad Jack gave him to pay off Jack's landlord to a con man and is left with beans tied to string. Jack throws the beans in the sea, resulting in a giant bean stalk growing. Like in the fairy tale, they find a giant's castle on top of the beanstalk, and eventually rob it of a single, gigantic coin which they use to pay off the landlord. | |

Land of Illusion: When Mickey meets Minnie at the Good Princess' Castle, she gives him the magic beans and advises him to plant them on the island below the Phantom's Cloud Castle so that a beanstalk will grow from them. Mickey also needs to collect the Cloud Shoes from the Stone Pyramid in the Desert so that he can walk on the clouds without falling through them. When Mickey plants the beans, a giant beanstalk does grow from them and he has to climb to the top so he can reach the Phantom Cloud's Castle, which is the game's final level. | |

In Danger Than Fiction, a bookwalking spell gets the pony protagonists sucked into the plots of numerous books. Near the end, as the spell starts to break down, they wind up as interlopers in a mash-up of two different versions of "Jack and the Beanstalk". The Giant is replaced by Gullfaxi from Norse Mythology, and there are two Jacks invading the Giant's castle: the regular version from a straight telling of the fairy tale, and a cynical smart-ass (literally—he's a donkey) from a Fractured Fairy Tale version. The two Jacks get to arguing and take so long that Gullfaxi eventually gets confused and just wanders away. | |

Bubsy: Chapters 4, 5, and 6 of Bubsy in: Fractured Furry Tales are called "Out on a Limb", "Highly Stung", and "Jungle Furvor". These chapters are based on Jack and the Beanstalk and feature Bubsy climbing the titular beanstalk. "Jungle Furvor" takes place in the Giant's castle, although the boss is a normal-sized man in a pair of robot legs, rather than the Giant. | |

Mickey Mouse games: Mickey Mania: The Timeless Adventures of Mickey Mouse: The fifth level, Mickey and the Beanstalk, is based on the animated short of the same name from 1947. Mickey travels up the beanstalk and into Willie the Giant's Castle, where he meets his 1947 counterpart at the end of the stage. Land of Illusion: When Mickey meets Minnie at the Good Princess' Castle, she gives him the magic beans and advises him to plant them on the island below the Phantom's Cloud Castle so that a beanstalk will grow from them. Mickey also needs to collect the Cloud Shoes from the Stone Pyramid in the Desert so that he can walk on the clouds without falling through them. When Mickey plants the beans, a giant beanstalk does grow from them and he has to climb to the top so he can reach the Phantom Cloud's Castle, which is the game's final level. Mickey Mouse 3: Dream Balloon: Stage 3 takes place on Willie the Giant's beanstalk. Mickey must climb to the top of the beanstalk while dodging giant insects, flying eggs, rain clouds, and Lucifer the Cat. The boss of the stage is Willie the Giant himself. A modified version of this level was also featured in its North American Dolled-Up Installment, Kid Klown In Night Mayor World. Mickey's Ultimate Challenge: Once Mickey/Minnie has done collective deeds for the citizens of Beanwick, he/she has to give them items in exchange for 5 magic beans. After which he/she tosses them into the Wishing Well and wishes to find out the cause of the kingdom's rumbling, causing a gigantic beanstalk to sprout from the ground and breaking the wishing well. Mickey/Minnie climbs up the beanstalk to find the cause of the earthquakes: A snoring giant. Once he/she awakens the giant with an alarm clock, the giant remarks that he had the strangest dream and couldn't wake up, and befriends the mouse before Mickey/Minnie wakes up back in bed. |

Green Acres: "Oliver and the Cornstalk" has Oliver's corn growing into an enormous cornstalk. Lampshaded by Eb and Lisa, who directly compare it to "Jack and the Beanstalk" and "Jacqueline and the Beanstalk", respectively (each comparison is followed by a child with that name climbing down). The Jolly Green Giant is also apparently at the top - we hear his laugh come from the clouds above, and he thows down several cans of vegetables, causing Eb to remark "Golly! We're in a TV commerical!" | |

The Stinky Cheese Man is an anthology of Fractured Fairy Tales, with Jack (of "and the Beanstalk" fame) serving as the Interactive Narrator for the whole thing. When it comes time for Jack to tell his own story, the Giant comes down the beanstalk early and announces he hates how the story usually goes, and instead he reads to the audience a story he wrote himself. Said "story" turns out to be a nonsensical mashup of sentence fragments literally cut-and-pasted from other stories. Jack complains about how bad this new story is, so the Giant grabs him and threatens to eat him if he doesn't tell a better story—then he adds that when the story's over, he'll eat Jack anyway. Realizing that his only hope is to stall for time, Jack tells an endless, recursive story and keeps it up until the Giant falls asleep, allowing him to sneak away. | |

Sabrina the Teenage Witch: Salem manages to grow one in an episode, although, instead of a giant, a mortal eating witch named Margalo lived at the top (however, Sabrina's aunts warn her that beanstalks leading to the home of a giant exist too; beanstalks in general always lead to a bad neighborhood). Margalo managed to lure Harvey up, causing Sabrina to follow despite the altitude shorting out her powers due to her half mortal status (which also made her fair game as far as Margalo was concerned). The two are eventually able to escape, and when Sabrina's magic is restored, she gets some revenge on Margalo by turning her into a vegetarian. Hilda and Zelda, after spending the entire episode trying to get help but running into a Obstructive Bureaucrat, finally get a tree trimmer to get rid of the beanstalk. | |

Spongebob climbs it, but is caught by the giant (Plankton) before he can steal the magic golden jellyfish. | |
