‘Jack and the Beanstalk’ is the Betty Boop version of the famous story. Bimbo uses his magic beans to climb the beanstalk and learn the giant a lesson after a big cigar has crashed Bimbo’s home. Arriving in the clouds Bimbo does not only find the giant but the enslaved Betty Boop as well. A mouse as big as Betty and Bimbo is also causing some problems.
This cartoon is a nice Betty Boop, but not much more. It has the usual images of shape shifting things. Some of them are inventive as always, but both the Disney version ‘Mickey and the Beanstalk’ and the Looney Tunes version ‘Beanstalk Bunny’ did a better job creating comedy out of the given elements of the story. Still, worth a watch if you normally like Betty Boop cartoons.
