Synopsis
The first of the "storyteller" shorts (in which "Uncle Mickey" reads a story to his nephews as a story-framing device). Mickey tells the story of Jack and the Beanstalk. Mickey plays the leading role and takes on Rumplewatt, the "king of the giants and the prince of the tyrants." Mickey gets really small as he steps lightly around the giant's dinner table. In a bizarre scene, Mickey is inside the giant's mouth, plugging up his pipe stem.

Giant Land
Interesting take on Jack and the Beanstalk. Staring Mickey of course with the usual unusual ideas by the Disney staff and some very cool animation. I'm just looking at the Home Movie cut down version called Mickey and the Giant from Hollywood Enterprises, but it makes me want to see the entire cartoon some day.
