comment |
Jack and the Beanstalk: The Real Story is a 2001 two-part Mini Series directed by Brian Henson. It was a co-production of Hallmark Entertainment and The Jim Henson Company, and first aired on CBS.Just about everyone knows the tale of Jack and the Beanstalk. Boy trades cow for magic beans, climbs the beanstalk that grows from the beans to a castle in the sky, steals a singing harp and goose that lays golden eggs from an evil giant then cuts down the beanstalk when the giant gives chase and he lives Happily Ever After.What if that wasn't what truly happened?Jack Robinson (Matthew Modine) is the rich CEO of a large company who's having dreams about his father and an angry giant while trying to keep healthy since no Robinson male has lived to be over 40. Strange things start happening like a giant humanoid skeleton being found during construction of a casino around his ancestral castle and Ondine (Mia Sara), a mysterious woman who keeps suddenly appearing, accusing him of being "a thief and a murderer". Jack soon learns from a relative that he thought long dead that he is the descendant of Jack from the Fairy Tale and that the truth of the tale is not clear cut as it seems. |

Teleportation with Drawbacks |
| | Jack and the Beanstalk: The Real Story / int_44c55e9d |
comment |
Teleportation with Drawbacks: Limited-Use Magical Device drawback. The giants possess glass vials that teleport the holder to Earth or back when smashed which makes the whole "climbing the beanstalk" thing a bit pointless (it is suggested that the beanstalk was intended to encourage new awareness of their two worlds so that the giants could inspire humanity by establishing a more direct line of communication between the two worlds). |

comment |
Adaptational Attractiveness: An In-Universe example. The woman who found and sheltered Jack in the fake tale is a haggard, old woman whereas the "real" woman, Ondine (played by Mia Sara), was young and had a relationship with Jack. This seems to be an effort to hide that the original Jack took advantage of her trust to steal from the giant. |

Genetic Engineering Is the New Nuke: Averted - GM crops are presented as a solution for supplying food in arid areas. The prototype seeds become a Chekhov's Gun, allowing Jack to convince the giants' council that life can be returned to their lands (apparently genetic engineering can overcome magical desolation). |

comment |
Treacherous Advisor: Siggy set himself up as a Parental Substitute to modern day Jack and encouraged him to not settle down and have children so when Jack is killed by the Hereditary Curse, Siggy can produce a faked will that leaves everything to him and no one would have reason to question it. |

No Name Given: We never do learn the name of the realm where the giants and Ondine's people live. Although Jack does casually refer to it as "giant land" in one scene. |

Written by the Winners: The show posits that the giant atop the beanstalk, Thunderdell, was in fact nothing but friendly and benevolent, with most of the fairy tale being a lie made up to cover for what Jack and his mother did for their own selfish ends. This includes killing the giant after he falls off the beanstalk. |

Year Outside, Hour Inside: Time in the land at the top of the beanstalk passes at a rate of one day for every year on Earth, with the result that only a year has passed in the giants' country while almost four hundred have passed back on Earth. |

Who Wants to Live Forever?: Certainly applies to Wilhemina; for actually killing Thunderdell, she is condemned to live for over four centuries (and it is implied that she wasn't even able to sleep during that time), watching her descendants die young. |

Cosmic Keystone: The harp and the goose contained the guiding energies of the lands at the top of the beanstalk and due to the original Jack's theft, the lands have become desolate and barren. |
