An Anime I Can Support

A young boy named Jack climbs a giant beanstalk and stumbles upon a city in the clouds ruled by an evil queen.

I have never really enjoyed anime. Some is alright, but even the hugely successful and popular films just do not really resonate with me. This one is different. The animation is certainly interesting, with only the princes really looking like what I expect from Japanese artists. So that helps, that multiple styles were used.

But this is also just so clever. Taking a classic tale, adding in music and lyrics, and a bit of a mystical twist. This is less about stealing fro ma giant than about saving a kingdom. Can "a simple farm boy" handle the task?

Trivia
[7:46]The tune played by the Old-bean seller is the same as the one sung at [16:20] when the beanstalk starts growing.

Goofs
[25:47]When Jack first arrives in the castle. Princess Margaret tells him he smells of pigs, chickens, and geese, but does not mention cows or dogs, which were the only animals on the farm. Earlier when Jack's mother is reprimanding him for giving the cow away for beans, she tells him, "all your father left us was that cow".

Quotes
Madam Hecuba: [as a singing toy] You're just a lazy, good for nothing, lump of blah, you look like something someone left out in the rain, you're so mean and ugly you should be against the law, you're a monster you're just a pain, scary, hairy, sloppy, floppy, you're an awful shock, that old face of yours would stop a clock, any sort of clock, I wouldn't kiss that ugly mug of yours, no one would if she could, you make me yuck!, sick, sick, sick, sick, sick!
[Tulip smashes toy]
