Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The House That Jack Built is a 1967 animated short film (eight minutes) directed by Ron Tunis, produced by the National Film Board of Canada.Unsurprisingly, it's inspired by the English nursery rhyme "The House That Jack Built". In this version Jack is a suburban husband and white-collar worker who is frustrated with his humdrum existence and wishes to be "unique". The nursery rhyme is mashed up with "Jack and the Beanstalk" when, after Jack wrecks his car, a mysterious stranger offers to trade him three magic beans for the car.It is available on Youtube through the National Film Board's official channel. You can see it for yourself here.Absolutely NOT to be confused with the 2018 live action film. Though they have the same name they are absolutely not affiliated with each other. | |

| The House That Jack Built (1967) / int_73acaf4d | comment |
Beanstalk Parody: Jack trades his busted car for magic beans that grow into a beanstalk. 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. Jack steals the mirror and uses it to become wealthy and successful. | |

Bait-and-Switch: Jack is having dinner in the castle in the clouds when he hears booming footsteps and "FEE FI FO FUM". We think it's the giant, but it's soon revealed to be "Mr. Giant", a balding businessman shorter than Jack. | |

Cut-and-Paste Suburb: Jack lives in the standard cut-and-paste suburb with identical houses and people using identical lawnmowers to cut their identical lawns. The closing gag reveals that after he became filthy rich, he lives in another cut-and-paste suburb, just with bigger and fancier identical houses. | |
