I loved this show back when it first aired, top notch production vales...and of course a star studded cast. I think this series still holds up as a quality show even by today's standards. thanks for sharing this.
Wow. It's probably the first movie I ever watched, and watched it so much. I don't know why it slowly popped back into my head after nearly 35 years, but it did. I remember two quotes from it and tried to search for it, and sure enough, here it was! Re-watching it after 35 years, it's amazing how much I remember vaguely, but also how different it seems after living for 35 years! The cycle is complete. I didn't realize how odd the movie was back when I was watching it as a child, but now I realize. Also, the kisses surprised me a little. Hm...
Wow...just came across this! Thank you for posting....have watched so many times when I was a kid....oh my gosh....was my favorite. Brought back so many memories lol hallarious watching now.....
I have always had a very faint memory of a jack and the bean stalk story I watched as a very young kid. Then out of nowhere I remembered Shelly Duvall was apart of it. I found this and it was straight nostalgia watching it. Thanks for the video.
The cast was having fun. Among them we have classic TV housewife Edith Bunker (the great Jean Stapleton, who was the first choice for the Sunday might series Murder, She Wrote),plus Ross and Monica's Dad from Friends (Elliott Gould), and actress Katherine Helmond from Soap. Dennis Christopher is Jack (he was in Breaking Away, and Django Unchained).
This one is my favorite of all I can remember eating oranges and apples in front of the tv at 7 watching this it really makes me happy to see this again.
Just like how I would eat potatoes while watching The Last Unicorn. xD during the scene where they were cooking, I ate potatoes as well. =) Glad to be of service!
@lakshanjeya2164 I like watching these Faerie Tale videos too even though they were made in the 1980s and it's okay to watch a video no matter how old it is. However, films like "The Wizard Of Oz", "The Sound Of Music", and "Mary Poppins" were made in the years of 1939, 1964, and 1965 and people still watch those films now.
First i've known the story of the Jack amd the beam stalks. Now when i saw this movie its fantastic and its wounderful to look at. So this movie became the very best for the kids to look. Movie is a very good show to the kids living in this world. Bravo.
My Mom loved these just as much as my brother and I in the 80s she recorded all of them for us on VHS but they have been lost with time Thank you very much !!
At 25:30, did the Giant wake up to squash the fly (which explains why he hit his right hand onto the table as he woke up even though the fly can still be heard a little bit as he was going back to sleep at 25:31 and then wasn't heard anymore after that) or did he wake up from smelling Jack with Jack being close by?
I was always fascinated with this beanstalk as a child - it featured in many of my dreams and nightmares! 🤣 Fun fact: the famous Jerry Hall was the face in the harp.
Our Teacher watches this alot in her kid days, so now we're watching this. Guess she introduced this to us. Thanks Teach! :) By the way, This episode is a fairy tale on steroids!!! Kind of creepy, awkward and raises so many questions none of us don't want to know. But that's just our opinion.
Stephen King's book The Talisman is a similar story. Coincidentally the main character's name is also Jack. Jack goes to a faraway land to retain a magical object that will save his dying mother.
@K.114. Maybe the magic bean salesman gave them more magic beans to make a new beanstalk since he was there and they climbed back up to the castle on the new beanstalk. Otherwise maybe they called an airplane pilot to give them a ride up to the castle.
I. Think. Jack is. 😇 Abrav boy.. For come ing to.. The place.. Of the giant.. S place.. I think 🤔 it a very good sory .. Have ... It is. 😇 Farvert yours rebekah 🎄 I think 🤔 it would be a good Christmas. Film to have at. Chris ma's day. Xx
I think Jack and his Mom were really really secretly close. Basically he hits the lottery 4 times, he's a good looking guy, and he has no love interest. He then spends the rest of his life with his mother in a fantasy world away from society..."Oh, oh, oh Jack! Your built just like your father, oh Jack!"
This actor is playing the most annoying 12 year old lol and that cow is so funny looking lol. I like how the lady giant was nice to jack... Oh and the giant sounds like Ross from Friends lol so depressed lol
@nsc217 Most likely seeing the magic bean salesman at their home, he most likely gave them more magic beans to make a new beanstalk to climb back up to the castle. Otherwise maybe they called an airplane pilot who gave them a ride back up to the castle.
@@nsc217 Well I would assume with the magic bean salesman at their home, he must have given Jack more magic beans to make a new beanstalk after Jack chopped down the other one.
@TheRichardRian Two options could be that, depending if Jack and his mom took many weeks or months to move back into the castle, Spot could have died from old age. Or, the day when they moved back to the castle, they might have asked the Giantess for help to bring Spot to the castle where she climbed down the beanstalk and carried Spot over his shoulders and wrapping him around her neck and used her hands to climb up the new beanstalk from the magic bean salesman (I would guess the magic bean salesman gave them new beans to make a new beanstalk) and she brought Spot to the castle. I would guess this since the narrator mentioned how kind she was from 49:10-49:17.
@dorafrank4347 I wondered that too since he was never seen landing as the beanstalk was disappearing. I would guess that, that loud crashing noise from 46:44-46:45 was the Giant hitting the ground and died and his body disappeared away with the beanstalk.
I love Shelly, but once you see her as Mrs. Torrance, well...........and Katherine Helmond is WAAY too weird to be babysitting your kids kids. Signed, person who enjoys Kubrick and the show 'Soap'.
@quianawolfe5838 No because it was mentioned that the Giant killed Jack's father which is why Jack felt he had to go back up the beanstalk a third time to avenge something as that woman was telling the story from 39:28-40:13.

I loved this one the most! I used to beg my mom to rent this on 📼 for me back in the 80s!
How many remember in 1980s or 90s in DD ,,metro they played these stories i watched in black and white lovely ,memories
Just how I Remembered it Growing up....👍👍👍
I like Jack ! He's always positive and never loses his " Can do " attitude !
I used to ask my mom to rent this and I would watch this on repeat. This and Hansel and Gretel were my favorites.
Same here! 😂
Rest in peace sweet Shelly. ❤ you will be missed
❤🙏🕊️
Selly was a enius and sweet, too.

Agreed! It definitely holds up in terms of writing and star studded casts!
Can't believe I found this RUclips! This brings back so many memories!! I remember watching this as a kid. I feel so old. Haha
Me too
Me too! The 80s were the best!! ❤
Saw it in 1987; best memories of the best times❤
I used to love these as a kid. So much nostalgia
Born in 80. I'm not sure when this was released, but I remember this for sure.
Likewise

My childhood memories specially these stories
This is my favorite episode. Love the potato poopies scene. Love the actors and the characters they play.

Me too
I Like How The Hen Talks It's So Funny.
R.I.P Jean Stapleton
I remember renting this from the library, and borrowing the little critters books too.
The cast was having fun. Among them we have classic TV housewife Edith Bunker (the great Jean Stapleton, who was the first choice for the Sunday might series Murder, She Wrote),plus Ross and Monica's Dad from Friends (Elliott Gould), and actress Katherine Helmond from Soap. Dennis Christopher is Jack (he was in Breaking Away, and Django Unchained).
This is from "Faerie Tale Theatre" on ShowTime, this aired in 1983. The series only made a few episodes a year, for 6 years.
The Strange Old Man called Jack five beans for your Cow
This one is my favorite of all I can remember eating oranges and apples in front of the tv at 7 watching this it really makes me happy to see this again.

@@meganw9401 + Eating potatoes? Potato chips, or fried potatoes?
@@PerpetualArt boiled. lol
@@meganw9401 + I remember eating raw sliced potatoes...
Love Faerie Tale Theatre! Full of nostalgia, and also satisfying to see all-star casts in the mix.
I remember this classic fairytale.
I watched this and tall tales and legends when I was a kid:)
When I first saw this video, I thought the Giant was waving at Jack from 25:20-25:22 but was just trying to get the fly away in his sleep.
OMG Elliott Gould as the Giant - just so nostalgic and classic!
July 11 rest in peace Shelley dunvall wish you happy ever after
Born in 1998 and still I'm watching this In 2020.. Anyone??
lakshan jeya me
Lakshan Jeya hell yes born in 1984 and still watching

I met Dennis Christopher at a Christmas party in LA sometime in the late 70s, when I was a teenager. I never forgot. What a nice, nice man ☺️.
I love Shelley Duvall's Jack and the Beanstalk with my favorite stars
RIP Shelley Duval ❤
Gullible and fabulous
And they wonder why with this as our bedtime stories and Fox and the hound and Bambi as our Disney we are the way we are lol 😂😂😂
i have these on DVD,
but I'm on vacation and came across thes!
I'm so happy😃
"Ain't I seen you before? Yes...yes...oh no...no; the last boy didn't have those stupid glasses and that fake moustache." 😂
I watched this movie in elementary school
At 25:30, did the Giant wake up to squash the fly (which explains why he hit his right hand onto the table as he woke up even though the fly can still be heard a little bit as he was going back to sleep at 25:31 and then wasn't heard anymore after that) or did he wake up from smelling Jack with Jack being close by?
the guy who sold the magic beans always creeped me out when i was little and still does. lol
thank you so much for these! U have brought a great part of my childhood back!
Lots of thanks for uploading this. nostalgic moment for me. Thanks
Jack was also in the tv movie "It" as eddie
When I first saw the 1990 version of It and I saw eddie all I could think of was, what is Jack doing in Derry?”
@@brendancrowley3859 lmfao
So Jack was a robber, kidnapper and murderer, lol. Oh the values we were taught when we were little 😂
5:08, Jack, now you made your mother cry!
5:12 it was just a thought
I was always fascinated with this beanstalk as a child - it featured in many of my dreams and nightmares! 🤣
Fun fact: the famous Jerry Hall was the face in the harp.
The giant's wife is nice to Jack, but Jack does look handsome looking, plus the Harp's beautiful :)
I like the story
Yes!!! Epic!! Love this!!
Our Teacher watches this alot in her kid days, so now we're watching this. Guess she introduced this to us. Thanks Teach! :)
By the way, This episode is a fairy tale on steroids!!! Kind of creepy, awkward and raises so many questions none of us don't want to know.
But that's just our opinion.
Jack's Almost Like Amy's Brother Michelle.
Poor Spot!😢
Hey I Didn't Hear The Harp Cried Out.
Stephen King's book The Talisman is a similar story. Coincidentally the main character's name is also Jack. Jack goes to a faraway land to retain a magical object that will save his dying mother.
Desember vibes holiday..holiday vibes fairie tale😅
Jack Gellar and Edith Bunker as Ogres!
Elliot Gould and Jean Stapleton were the giants!
Thanks for these ❤
how did they get back up to the castle without the beanstalk?? that bothered me even as a kid. :p
Maybe the fairy had more magic beans
That's such a good point!
@K.114. Maybe the magic bean salesman gave them more magic beans to make a new beanstalk since he was there and they climbed back up to the castle on the new beanstalk. Otherwise maybe they called an airplane pilot to give them a ride up to the castle.
8:43
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Why did the narrator say that Jack began his journey into the town along with the very unhappy Spot dairy cow?
I could eat peasant food while watching this!
Mona, from Who's The Boss
Fun fact she was also in Disney cars!
I. Think. Jack is. 😇 Abrav boy.. For come ing to.. The place.. Of the giant.. S place.. I think 🤔 it a very good sory .. Have ... It is. 😇 Farvert yours rebekah 🎄 I think 🤔 it would be a good Christmas. Film to have at. Chris ma's day. Xx
Casting Sylvester Stallone as the giant was a great idea
Nice story 👌👌👌👌
I think Jack and his Mom were really really secretly close. Basically he hits the lottery 4 times, he's a good looking guy, and he has no love interest. He then spends the rest of his life with his mother in a fantasy world away from society..."Oh, oh, oh Jack! Your built just like your father, oh Jack!"
Brendon Fields
Gross. Sounds like YOU have mommy issues.
This actor is playing the most annoying 12 year old lol and that cow is so funny looking lol. I like how the lady giant was nice to jack... Oh and the giant sounds like Ross from Friends lol so depressed lol
I thought he sounds more like Robert Barone from everybody loves Raymond
I love it
nice stories
how did they return to the castle without beanstalk?
The wizard most likely helped him and had more beans.
I always wondered that 😂
How’d they move back into the castle if Jack chopped down the beanstalk?
@nsc217 Most likely seeing the magic bean salesman at their home, he most likely gave them more magic beans to make a new beanstalk to climb back up to the castle. Otherwise maybe they called an airplane pilot who gave them a ride back up to the castle.
@@afriendofbean Yes… The airplane
@@nsc217 Well I would assume with the magic bean salesman at their home, he must have given Jack more magic beans to make a new beanstalk after Jack chopped down the other one.
I retold the story and remade the story into: Jackie and the Beanstalk it's one of my best retold Tales
is the guy buying his cow the same fairy living in the cloud?
yep.
Megan W
Gallon Li yep & jack kissed him
What happened to the cow after they moved back into the castle
@TheRichardRian Two options could be that, depending if Jack and his mom took many weeks or months to move back into the castle, Spot could have died from old age. Or, the day when they moved back to the castle, they might have asked the Giantess for help to bring Spot to the castle where she climbed down the beanstalk and carried Spot over his shoulders and wrapping him around her neck and used her hands to climb up the new beanstalk from the magic bean salesman (I would guess the magic bean salesman gave them new beans to make a new beanstalk) and she brought Spot to the castle. I would guess this since the narrator mentioned how kind she was from 49:10-49:17.
hahaha, the mother is the mother of Angela from Who's the boss…….
Mona
She also voiced as one of the cars in Disney cars!
felmale giant reminds me of the fairygodmother from Cinderella
All Things Paper It is the same person! Jean Stapleton also played the Fairy Godmother in Fairy Theatre's Cinderella.
27:15 IM GONNA KILL EM
Is that Jerry Hall in the harp?
Yes it certainly is
It's a faerie tale, doesn't matter if the ending makes sense.
the Giant's voice sounds like that of WWE wrestler Great Khali
😆
Jack is so crazy by
20:43
after the giant fell, where did he land?
he became a part of the ground. Giants are made from Earth originally. Sooo once they land, they turn to soil.
Megan W
@dorafrank4347 I wondered that too since he was never seen landing as the beanstalk was disappearing. I would guess that, that loud crashing noise from 46:44-46:45 was the Giant hitting the ground and died and his body disappeared away with the beanstalk.
Elliott Gould is the ex husband of Barbra Streisand
0:11 tiktok users going crazy rn
So no money for food but money for pj’s
You know this not Hansel and Gretel don’t you? I’m an ogress not a witch😂
There's a man standing in the window when Jack is in his room a little creepy
Time stamp?
I like the Disney version with Mickey Mouse better.
I love Shelly, but once you see her as Mrs. Torrance, well...........and Katherine Helmond is WAAY too weird to be babysitting your kids kids. Signed, person who enjoys Kubrick and the show 'Soap'.
