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]
In a twist on Jack and the Beanstalk, Bugs Bunny finds himself in a giant's realm in the sky, 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. In the end he tricks the giant into falling from the sky-land to earth, leaving a canyon-like hole in the ground from which he delivers the final line: "watch out for that first step, it's a lulu."
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.
