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.
