Throwing caution to the wind, young Jack trades his C.O.W. (Computer of Wonder) for a small pile of magic beans. The following morning, Jack is stunned to find that his beans have sprouted into a stalk that leads straight up into the clouds.

    Wasn't bad had a decent adventure in it with great actors but not one of my favorites. There was times it held my attention and times when I was wanting it to be over, but the kids would love it.

    This was a cute movie and I find myself always liking the new versions of older fairytales and this one was a pretty good one.
