The most recent Jack and the Beanstalk film – Warner Bros’ Jack the Giant Killer – tanked at the box office, however Disney’s ready to take a shot at bringing the fairy tale to the big screen. At the D23 Expo Disney revealed a first photo from Gigantic, an animated film based on the classic story.
Gigantic will be directed by Tangled‘s Nathan Greno and will feature music by Frozen‘s Oscar-winning team of Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez. Disney will be releasing the animated comedy in theaters in 2018.
The Plot: “Set in Spain during the Age of Exploration, Disney’s Gigantic follows adventure-seeker Jack as he discovers a world of giants hidden within the clouds. He hatches a grand plan with Inma, a 60-foot-tall, 11-year-old girl, and agrees to help her find her way home. But he doesn’t account for her super-sized personality—and who knew giants were so down to earth?”
