2015 D23 Expo: Disney اندازی حرکت Announces Jack and the Beanstalk Adaptation ‘Gigantic’ 

Over the years, there have been many different iterations of the classic

 story, but in 2018 it’s Walt Disney Animation’s turn with with 

, an all-new animated fairy tale musical from the studio. The film, slated to hit theaters in 2018, is a loose adaptation of the classic 

fairy tale and we got some of the first details straight from the D23 Expo just for you!

, Disney gave its own twist to the story and reimagined it with its incredibly talented artists. Today we learned some new story details about the adaptation that will delight Disney fans for sure. The film tells the story of Jack as he a discovers a world of giants hidden within the clouds. Jack meets up in the sky with an 11-year-old gigantic little girl named Ima, who is 60 feet tall and has a super-sized personality. He agrees to help her find her way home and together they enroll on an adventure of a lifetime.

The film is set in Spain during the Age of Exploration, the creative team chose for this location and period of time because in this time period people went on exploration trips to find new lands, similar to Jack’s exploration trip into the giant world. According to the films director, Jack will not simply find one big castle and one big giant walking around in the sky, but instead he finds a whole new world up in the sky. The first Giant he will meet is the 11-year-old Ima, who thinks Jack is a toy at first.

The film will feature music from the Oscar®-winning songwriter duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, who also wrote the music for Disney’s smash hit

I’m excited about the location – reminds me a lot so far of Puss in Boots, which I enjoyed.

I love the setting they chose, that should really give the movie more of an advantage for creativity also loving that its a little girl giant he meets!
