8/10
Cool Beans!! H-B Rules!

i remember seeing this NBC special as a kid, and nobody else, besides my brother who saw with me at the time, remembers this.

i have a bootleg copy of this with the H-B 'Alice in Rexall Land' which is retro coolness. Alice gets a migraine and heads for her nearest Rexall drugstore for some pharmaceuticals. it's retro commerciality at it's most hilarious.

this 'Jack n Beanstalk' has Kelly dancing with a bunch of animated mice. it's not 'Mary Poppins', but i'm surprised at how proficient the made for television animation is. Disney movies were often filmed with cost cutting often similar to a TV budget.

the songs are cute and better than you might think if not completely memorable.

all in all this is a production that deserves a lot more recognition than it currently receives. it is a true TVLand, retro classic.
