Betty and the Giant
Jack and the Beanstalk (1931)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
Decent version of the classic tale from Max Fleischer has Bimbo climbing up the beanstalk where he sees Betty Boop being held hostage by the giant. Betty and Bimbo must team up to destroy the giant as well as get back on the ground. At just six-minutes this thing never gets boring but at the same time you can't help but wish something more had been done with it. The execution is pretty familiar story wise, although in this version Bimbo goes up the beanstalk to fight the giant because he dropped his cigar, which ended up falling into Bimbo's house and making his cow sick. The visuals are nice and the Betty Boop character is always fun to watch. This film was at one time banned due to some of its content but it's all tame by today's standards. Of note there is a mouse that shows up and it certainly looks a lot like Mickey.
