The House that Jack Built
19678 min 2 secFilm: Animation
Direction: Ron Tunis
Production: Wolf KoenigJim MacKay
Script: Don Arioli
A humorous animation film about that fellow we all know, who builds his house in the best suburb he can afford, and then aches to be somewhere better. He had a picture bride, a picture window, and a garden as pretty as a Better Homes and Gardens picture. But so did everyone else. He wanted something special and, like Jack and the Beanstalk, he finally got it. What he got is a moral for all.
