57: Gigantic

Gigantic was originally looking for a late 2016 release, and is being directed by Nathan Greno. After taking 2015 off, it looked like Disney would be turning 2016 into the year of turning Tangled. The co-directors of the 2010 Disney feature film are splitting up to solo-direct the two films in 2016. Unfortunately, production problems pursued Giants, and the film was pushed back to 2018. Moana took Giants place for the second 2016 release.

Giants Story

In this variation on the Jack and the Beanstalk story, Jack falls in love with woman named Angelina who is from a higher merchant class. Marco, a noble who loved to travel is the third side of the love triangle. They met Inma, a tomboy teenage girl who fought for injustice, but was never taken seriously due to her age.

In the course of their travels, they meet the Storm Giants. the Storm Giants have made a pact with the humans. If the humans work for them and give them a percentage of their harvest and livestock, they’ll return the favor by keeping danger and threats at bay. At first, it must have been appealing to have a Giant agree to fight your corner, but the people aren’t getting enough for themselves now. As you might expect, there’s then a journey up to where the Giants live and some terrible conflict between the humans and the Storm Giants.
