This is a US 27" x 41" one-sheet poster for a 1976 rerelease of the
1974 Gisaburo Sugii film Jack and the Beanstalk, English
version written and directed by Peter J. Solmo with screenplay by
Shuji Hirami and starring Billie Lou Watt as the voice of Jack. This
is a Japanese musical animation release based on the familiar fairy
tale, with a few twists. The English dubbed version has its own
character voice actors. Plot summary: When poor Jack climbs way into
the clouds to the top of a beanstalk that grew from a handful of magic
beans he got in a trade for the family cow, he finds himself in a
castle courtyard face-to-face with Margaret [Corinne Orr], the
castle's princess. Margaret tells Jack she is very happy because
tomorrow she will marry her beloved Prince Tulip (the giant) [Jack
Grimes]. This intended of Margaret's is not a menacing, fierce giant
of the fee-fi-fo-fum variety; this one is a stupid, clumsy, easily
manipulated fellow. Margaret introduces Jack to Prince Tulip's mother,
Madame Hecuba [Corinne Orr], actually an evil witch who has Margaret
spellbound. The witch's plan is to become queen of the Land of the
Clouds after Tulip and Margaret are married. She puts Jack to sleep
with drugged soup because she wants to eat him, but Jack wakes up and
escapes when the witch hides him from the approaching giant. Jack
meets some pantomiming mice dressed as courtiers; they were once the
people of the castle before the witch turned them into mice after
killing the castle's king and queen (Jack gets this information from a
talking harp). Jack sees a hen that lays golden eggs and when he
climbs back down the beanstalk he takes it with him along with some of
the treaure he finds lying around. He and his mother rejoice at their
good fortune, but Jack's dog Crosby [Jack Grimes] reminds him he must
go back up and prevent Margaret's marriage to Tulip. Back at the top,
Jack learns from the harp that Hecuba's spell over the princess will
be broken if someone brave kisses her. Jack crashes the wedding and
kisses Margaret. Then Margaret wakes up and recognizes Tulip and
Madame Hecuba for who they really are. An angry Tulip is about to
step on Jack, but then steps on the witch instead. Then the mice all
become people again, but the giant chases Jack down the beanstalk; as
in the original tale Jack chops down the beanstalk causing Tulip to
fall to his death.
