Jack-Wabbit and the Beanstalk is a 1943 Warner Bros. cartoon in the Merrie Melodies series, directed by Friz Freleng and starring Bugs Bunny,[2] with all of the voices provided by Mel Blanc.[3][4]
Plot
In a twist on Jack and the Beanstalk, Bugs Bunny finds himself in a giant's realm, where he angers the dim-witted giant by chopping down carrots in his victory garden. Bugs spends the movie evading the giant, even challenging him to a duel. However, the giant falls from the sky, leaving a giant hole, but miraculously survives and delivers a classic comic line about watching his step.
Production notes
Jack-Wabbit and the Beanstalk is a parody of the fairy tale "Jack and the Beanstalk". It should not be confused with Beanstalk Bunny (1955), another parody of this story starring Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Elmer Fudd.
