One can argue points, but this is so much better than what is put out today, just a adventure, good vs evil, comradship, loyalty and love. We've forgotten how to make such gems.
Believe it or not, I'm 65 and this the first time I ever saw this. I never get tired of Claymation. The Leprechaun had me in stitches with his Irish rhythm sayings! Love it!
Well, indeed so!!? Before I'd comment, this acct. Belong my wife niece.Yes indeed me did'nt seens this movie during our childhood hours.lets say we were childish n playful to our diffencess.for me.a nices videos to go forth beyong our next generations.bec even thougth thier's a crimes commited until now.guestions what's why they do it?.
Such fond memories I have of this film. I saw it with a group of friends in theater when I was a kid. We played 'Jack the Giant Killer' in my yard for weeks and I always wanted to be Jack... LOL.. Sometimes I think it SUCKS to grow up 😒😒
It does suck to grow up, the world corrupts all the innocence and goodness in a child, of those fortunate enough to have good parents to begin with as some don't even get that so we are blessed.
My brother and I would play two monsters in the front yard after these Harryhausen movies. We would move that slightly jerky slow way. The neighbors must have thought it was two boys putting on a kabuki play.
I'm 53 and I've always loved the stop frame, the Sinbad movies, 20million miles from Earth, love them! There's been a few newer movies where the stop frame would have been a nice fit, instead of the low budget CGI, like the last 20mins of the movie Season of the Witch, good movie anyway I've seen six times....so far lol
Christmas wasn't Christmas if Jack the Giant Killer (and Jason and the Argonauts) wasn't on the TV when I was growing up in England in the early 1970's. Good to see it again after all these decades.
I recall the TV promotional ads for this this movie when I was in 2nd grade. I so wanted to see this in the movie theater but my Mom was unable to make that happen so I never saw this film until it came to TV many years later. Mom was able to take us to Jason & the Argonauts and Mysterious Island so my sis and I got plenty of awe and wonder.
I recall watching it as a child in the 70’s (in the UK). My sister and I always enjoyed these films with the mythical creatures. I enjoyed watching this one again after so many years. Thank you for sharing.
Ok... here's a bit of creature name trivia for the fans of this movie.... First giant.... Cormoran The Witch Minions of Pendragon... Tubo, the triple-horned warlock... Zela, with her flaming, smoking bouquet... Cherah, The fish-faced Witch of the Wind... the Trio of Witch sisters from the bog... Second giant... Galligantua, the Two-Headed ogre servant of Pendragon... The Third Wish's multi-tentacled Sea Dragon... Lastly... the Harpy creature / Pendragon transformed.
This is not a cheesy B Movie, this was a massive production in its time and it was highly sought after, my father, his brothers, cousins and entire Highschools went to see this in Alberta as kids, this and 3 other movies were huge, like we see movies today, they would line up for hours to see these movies, not a B movie, this is a Blockbuster hit back then and was all star cast
Yeah, you can tell by the production values, the movie is really rich in details and with lavish sets, a very different ball game to the adventure b-films of that era.
@A QUALQUER MOMENTO VITÓRIA yes you are sorry because this monster is not a cyclops this monster has two eyes a cyclops has one eye and the Cyclops in the 7th voyage of Sinbad is more realistic the one in this movie looks cartoonish perhaps you should look at both movies again this time with your eyes open and you will see that the 7th voyage of Sinbad Cyclops is a real one-eyed cyclops and not a two eyed clown like this one 😮
Thank you for sharing. I have watched this film from early childhood. The ghost carriage that took the princess away used to frighten me to death. I love it as much now as I did then ❤
This was the first movie I ever saw! I remember watching it with my parents and is one of my fondest memories. Thanks for uploading this. I thought I'd never see it again! 😃
I saw this movie 1963 at the Somerville drive-in New Jersey. I was 9 years old, Finally got to see it again. It's exactly what I remember it to be, Just one of those classics, We never forget. Be well, Uncle Martin.
I still remember seeing this movie as a kid, its old, dated, and a little cheesy, but I never pass up a chance to see it again. Thanks for keeping it in the loop of Classics.
A classic epic movie of my childhood. Kerwin Mathews was great as Jack. Judi Meredith was so beautiful as Princess Elaine. Torin Thatcher was excellent as Pendragon, evil sorcerer, prince of darkness and master of Giants, Witches and Hobgoblins. He portrayed very well the villain of the movie. The special effects are still very good despite of the years and time since that movie was released. Excellent and unforgettable memories. Jack The Giant Killer is part of my childhood forever, for all life.
Im so lucky my dad had me late in his life. I grew up watching these movies, they are a pure joy. Theres no cynicism in them, which is just so refreshing. Its like theres a proper and right order to the world, and despite the threats that assail it righteousness always wins in the end. Its cliché, but its genuinely very comforting and nice
I saw this film on VCR in the early 80s when I was a child, and I watched it regularly, these kinds of films had a particular taste and a particular perception during childhood ❤
Last time I seen this movie was back in August 1979 living in Los Angeles. The next day, I left for US Air Force basic training at Lackland AFB, Texas. I like this movie. Thanks for putting up on TH-cam. I'm going to watch it as often as I can.
i liked where the leprachaun was free!! sorry for spoilers 🙈 not enough giants tho imo. he killed one giant? sorry for spoilers 🙈 and i totally called the arm hallway thing sorry for spoilers 🙈 monkey looked well behaved and trained.
Yippee at long last I have found it, I caught a glimpse of this film about 50 years ago never knew the title of it but have been looking for it ever since can't thank you enough for up loading it.
I was born 2 years after this movie's theatrical run. I never knew this movie existed. Almost 60 years in the dark about this excellent film. Is it cheesy? Oh yeah, it's cheesy all right. That doesn't mean it's not a good movie. ✌️🖖
What a wonderful trip to my childhood. And now just realizing Kerwin Mathews and Torin Thatcher were also in Sinbad;' 7th Voyage which I just finished before loading JTGK. Thanks you ever so much!
This movie is amazing. My mother saw this back in the 1950s when she was in Grade School. When I saw it I could tell why my mother liked it. The stop-motion creatures are amazing. The monsters in today movies are CGI and the magic is gone. I own the film on DVD.
This movie was made to go against The 7th voyage of Sinbad but even with its smaller budget this movie gave us creatures and a cyclop, adventure and all kind of goodies that a young man would love in a fantasy movie. Love all actors/actresses that stared in this great little adventure. And dont forget , there is a musical version of this movie...not the best but it sure was fun to see and hear it also.....i made sure to get a copy of the musical which is still available here and there. Dont forget, this is before CGI.... lots of fun if you dont take it seriously.
Never even heard of this movie until today.. loved it.. it has that Darby O'gill and the little people type of charm... Not much for musicals but I'll try to find that version of this tale... Peace hope, good will and God bless...
What this movie lacks in special effects, it MORE than makes up for in quality writing and acting. And I'll take great writing and acting over CGI anyday. Wonderful movie!
I was a teenager when I first watched this and I love it now as much as I loved it then. I was gutted though when Jack smashed the mirror and broke the spell on the Princess. I much preferred her as a witch. I thought she looked amazing! Lol! Apparently when she wore the eye contacts they made her eyes really sore and in some scenes I believe you can see them watering slightly.
Jack "Stay in the holed and let no one in !" Princes " No, I'm going to fling the door wide open call your name loudly and attract the witches right to me !" 🙄
I first saw this movie in 1993 with my parents when I was 6. I was searching for this movie for so long. Glad that now I found it. My Childhood memories.
The king is an awesome dad. Leads sword first into his daughter's room regardless the unknown danger. Later, before sending her away, you can tell he was thinking "well, she's likely to come back with a grandson, but on the other hand, I only know one person who can single-handedly kill a giant." He's a father first and a king second.
Thanks for posting, really enjoyed it! I saw it as a kid on the big screen in a lavish old movie palace, when it was first released, and it was thrilling indeed. Over the decades since I could still remember those bizarre "dragon guards" marching in place menacingly, until Jack vanquishes them with the magic whip; and when I finally saw the movie again some years ago at a museum screening, the scene had lost none of its weird power. It retains that power today when I watched it yet again here on your channel. The monster scenes are exciting, the creatures are pretty ferocious, and well-choreographed. The movie stands on its own as much more than an imitation of The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad. A fun film! I like Judi Meredith too as the good princess/evil witch. She played her role memorably! And of course Kerwin Mathews made a fine hero, and Torin Thatcher the perfect villain!
Likewise for the Granada theater in Chicago where I saw the film. This huge movie palace went back to the silent days or '30s, not sure on the dates. Then demolished for a bland "modern" building in the '80s or thereabouts. 😞 I saw films like The Nutty Professor w/ Jerry Lewis, King Kong vs. Godzilla, and The Graduate there. Took a girl there on my first date ever to see Hitchcock's Torn Curtain. Nice memories...
Film Jack the giants killer reminds me of the ladybird 🐞 books of the of the 60s l loved to read. As a child at school wonderful fairy stories. I now collect the old 60 ladybird 🐞 l read them from time to time always makes me happy.
It’s because of some dumb film school dogma about getting the perfect mix of blue and orange which is why all movies from the past couple of decades just look like dull mixtures of the two. This was after moviemakers in the seventies decided that darkness and grittiness equaled authentic realism which is why everyone in medieval films since then always wear all black, brown and grey even though if you know anything about the Middle Ages, the brightly colored technicolor movies with gleaming whitewashed castles are what things really looked like back then. For example, if you can see the the stones in a castle, it’s a ruin. Living operational castles were always plastered and then washed with white lime to prevent weather damage and then painted with murals on the inside. Dyes were highly prized and abundant especially because anyone could make them. Wode being the most common since it’s a common plant that produces a wide spectrum of colors depending on how long you boil it and let it set. You wouldn’t see any dark rusty armor as it was polished daily with sand until gleaming and everybody bathed. Bathing culture was huge with many stories from the period involving bathhouses.
When imagination and creativity ruled the screen.....movies like this and others ,especially holiday /Xmas movies Rudolf the rednosed reindeer, Santa Claus etc.
... at that time watch all these great films as in ... other language dialogue ... not understand much stories ... now as watch all these great great film again ... and understand film dialogue ... and knowledge of history... this is wonderful... . Thank you ... with love and blessing ... .
Haven't seen this since around 1963. Who ever thought I would see this in 2023 with a different view of demons, mysticism, and the occult. Interesting kids movie.
Fond childhood memories , thanks for the upload. Torin Thatcher : the greatest screen villain of all time. At least until Darth Vader . Lacks the Harryhauson / Charles H Schneer polish , but i still love it
That was fun, any more movies good quality movies like that? I’ve seen the seventh voyage of Sinbad and it was great also. I’m always looking for more. I have yet to watch the three worlds of Gulliver, that’s on my ‘watch list’.
This film is a childhood favourite of mine. Kerwin Matthews and Torin Thatcher knock it out of the park. I own this on Blu Ray and I also live in Cornwall where its supposedly set.
Not sure of my British history, but I believe Cornwall was the first region in Britain to abandon paganism and convert to Christianity, it seems the purpose of the dark forces, in the movie was to re conquer Cornwall and thus all of Britain. Strange, but in 2023 we are witnessing a world wide battle between good and evil. Time for all of us to be Jack the giant killer.
@@craigrandall8930 I think you'll find it's the first place to adopt paganism. There is nit many Christians living in Cornwall. Our whole family is atheist.
I’m 68 and this movie was just fascinating to me when I saw it as a kid…the scenes with the witches kidnapping the princess terrified me…movies nowadays with CGI and blue screen FX have neither the charm or the fun of this kind of storytelling….
Me & brother & sister saw it at paramount AUSTINTX THE MOVIE HOUSE IS THERE IT SITALONE GONE 😢 now I’m 68 yrs ago wow I’m along what a dream would it be yrs 2023😊 Mario jr
Good flick for its day. I'm surprised that Harryhausen didn't do the special effects. Perhaps he influenced those who did. All in all a very talented cast and an entertaining production.
Edward Small wanted to do a follow up to 7nth Voyage of Sinbad. Ray Harryhausen was not interested, so he got a group of young animators including Jim Danforth. Then he rushed them into production with only one of the monsters completely finished, the flying dragon at the end. The others had their rubber flesh slapped over the armatures in a very crude fashion which gave them that skinny, smooth look. Danforth was one of two or three animators and his work stood out as the best. But the shoddy look of the monsters hurt the production badly and ultimately kept the film from enjoying the success it could have had. It fared well enough for kiddie shows. But has fallen into obscurity since. See it at all, even in this cropped format is rare.
One-of-a-kind, I've seen it countless times over the the past 50 years since me and my cousin went to a Saturday Matinee, they showed alot of these types of movies in my little hometown of Hudson Bay Saskatchewan Canada 🇨🇦 and you can't forget all the cool Japanese monster films 👌👍
I saw it with my Late Father in Cinema when I was 12 Year old in Pakistan , Now I am 50 , my children also loved it seeing on DVDs and Its always fun to watch now on youtube
Just a quick note, there was a "musical" version of this film also released at this time. It featured songs added into the story though not sung by the cast.
One can argue points, but this is so much better than what is put out today, just a adventure, good vs evil, comradship, loyalty and love. We've forgotten how to make such gems.
Glad I finally found this! The witches getting vanquished by breaking the mirrors was always what I remembered most.
Witches?
October 2024.
Torin Thatcher is a wonderful villain.
Believe it or not, I'm 65 and this the first time I ever saw this. I never get tired of Claymation. The Leprechaun had me in stitches with his Irish rhythm sayings! Love it!
I saw it when I was in my 20's now I am 65 and I still go back to it.They had 2 versions one was a musical.
I saw it in 1962 Saturday matinee at the Capital theater Salisbury N.C. I am 67 years young.Still love👹🦕🐉
Well I'm 71 lol first time I've seen 😅 this movie, ❤️ I'm loving it 😍
Claymation is awesome! There's something genuinely artistic about it, and reflects a level of care and love put into making a movie.
Well, indeed so!!? Before I'd comment, this acct. Belong my wife niece.Yes indeed me did'nt seens this movie during our childhood hours.lets say we were childish n playful to our diffencess.for me.a nices videos to go forth beyong our next generations.bec even thougth thier's a crimes commited until now.guestions what's why they do it?.

If I could have a wish it would be go back to the 60’s . I am very grateful that I grew up in the 60’s .
My brother and I would play two monsters in the front yard after these Harryhausen movies. We would move that slightly jerky slow way. The neighbors must have thought it was two boys putting on a kabuki play.
It certainly did for those giants.
Absolutely fantastic movie!!! Give me these old special effects any day over the modern stuff. Loved it!!!! Thanks from a 70 year old

Christmas wasn't Christmas if Jack the Giant Killer (and Jason and the Argonauts) wasn't on the TV when I was growing up in England in the early 1970's. Good to see it again after all these decades.

Not enough monsters in the family? 😂

Brings back some great memories, love the witches & scared the life out of me when I was about 8 years old watching this in the 70s
27th december 2023....youtube better than the tv xxxx
Im so lucky my dad had me late in his life. I grew up watching these movies, they are a pure joy.

That's for sure! Thanks for your comment

Agreed! Except, this movie didn't have Ray Harryhausen involved, sorry!

i WATCHED this movie MANY YEARS AGO AND it's A GREAT ONE 😊

Hollywood has not made something this original in 25 years.
One of many great movies, they don't come like this anymore. I was a child and still a great flick. Thanks for sharing.
You're very welcome!
Put this film together with Jason and the Argonauts - brilliant blast from the past.
Judi Meredith perfect as a Princess.
That's for sure 🥰
R.I.P. Judi, truly soft on the eyes. I hope both she and her husband Gary are reunited in heaven.
Love these Cheesy movies from that age of adventure
i liked where the leprachaun was free!! sorry for spoilers 🙈 not enough giants tho imo. he killed one giant? sorry for spoilers 🙈 and i totally called the arm hallway thing sorry for spoilers 🙈 monkey looked well behaved and trained.
Loved this film as a adult and child !! 😍
Am so much in love with the help and love that little boy lendered to Jack, a spirit of togetherness
Glitches in classic movies is like listening to an old record on a hi fi player it just wouldn't be a classic without the glitches 😊
I'm 70 years old and I must say that was so much fun and enjoyable! Great effects and the cool looking monsters! Great movie indeed!
Couldn't agree more! Thank you for your comment
This is like going on a trip without leaving the couch!
Great imagination 😂
Thank you for sharing a wonderful classic movie
Our pleasure!
Who else here thinks that that crew who threw Jack and the boy overboard all faced the noose when they got back?
48:29 Heh....
Wearing that big sword while fishing and sailing...
What was he expecting to encounter? LoL
He's a Viking.
Yippee at long last I have found it, I caught a glimpse of this film about 50 years ago never knew the title of it but have been looking for it ever since can't thank you enough for up loading it.
It was great seeing this in a giant screen in Kenosha,Wisconsin.
saw this as a young kid, the witches terrified me.
Viewing this as an adult, the stop motion is nowhere near Harryhausen standards, but as a kid it seemed so realistic and a bit scary.
Yeah, it adds a level of intensity I didn't know could do so much for a film that may not have the greatest budget.
Kerwin mathews was a very good actor ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I was born 2 years after this movie's theatrical run. I never knew this movie existed. Almost 60 years in the dark about this excellent film.
Is it cheesy? Oh yeah, it's cheesy all right. That doesn't mean it's not a good movie.
✌️🖖
What a wonderful trip to my childhood. And now just realizing Kerwin Mathews and Torin Thatcher were also in Sinbad;' 7th Voyage which I just finished before loading JTGK. Thanks you ever so much!
Our pleasure!
It’s been thirty plus years since I first watched this movie. Enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing! ❤
Our pleasure!
This movie is amazing. My mother saw this back in the 1950s when she was in Grade School. When I saw it I could tell why my mother liked it. The stop-motion creatures are amazing. The monsters in today movies are CGI and the magic is gone. I own the film on DVD.
Released summer of 1962
This movie was made to go against The 7th voyage of Sinbad but even with its smaller budget this
movie gave us creatures and a cyclop, adventure and all kind of goodies that a young man would
love in a fantasy movie. Love all actors/actresses that stared in this great little adventure.
And dont forget , there is a musical version of this movie...not the best but it sure was
fun to see and hear it also.....i made sure to get a copy of the musical which is still available
here and there. Dont forget, this is before CGI.... lots of fun if you dont take it seriously.
I must say making this into some sort of Musical was ridicules 😢
did he man battle fred flintstone
Kinda hard to top Sinbad, but if that's the case, it was a valiant attempt!
Kerwin Mathews who plays Jack also played Sinbad in 1958 the seventh voyage of Sinbad.
Never even heard of this movie until today.. loved it.. it has that Darby O'gill and the little people type of charm... Not much for musicals but I'll try to find that version of this tale... Peace hope, good will and God bless...
What this movie lacks in special effects, it MORE than makes up for in quality writing and acting.

Kerwin Matthew is a actor of 7th Voyage of Sinbad and The 3 Worlds of Gulliver!
Two FAR better films than this dreck. But then neither Charles H. Schneer nor Ray Harryhausen were involved.
Watched this film about 50 years ago as a very young child . It's one of my earliest memories in life , the Witches and Giants scared me so much !!
I first saw this 50 years ago New year's Day 1974,the scene whee the witches attack the ship was the scariest part.
@GlenRoss-ug5jm yes mate I agree 💯😂😂

Went to the movie theater to see this when it first came out.
I'm 60 and I'm glad it's here. I can watch it as many times as I want. Classic. The two makes a perfect couple in the movie. Everything was great.
Same here. First saw it in the Princess Theater, built back in silent movie days. Wantonly demolished in late 1975.
Likewise for the Granada theater in Chicago where I saw the film. This huge movie palace went back to the silent days or '30s, not sure on the dates. Then demolished for a bland "modern" building in the '80s or thereabouts. 😞 I saw films like The Nutty Professor w/ Jerry Lewis, King Kong vs. Godzilla, and The Graduate there. Took a girl there on my first date ever to see Hitchcock's Torn Curtain. Nice memories...
Pendragon was King Arthur’s family name as the legend dictates
i wondered if King Mark was the son of King Arthur.
What a fantastic wee comedy from this era.
Watched this back for the first time, really enjoyable, heroic stuff. Loved it.
Saw this in the theater with my brother when we were little
I still love it
I just love science fiction and fantasy

such vivid color! why arent newer movies this rich
New movies are usually digital. Back then, it was all film and chemicals, using coloring processes like Technicolor. It's a very interesting topic.
It’s because of some dumb film school dogma about getting the perfect mix of blue and orange which is why all movies from the past couple of decades just look like dull mixtures of the two. This was after moviemakers in the seventies decided that darkness and grittiness equaled authentic realism which is why everyone in medieval films since then always wear all black, brown and grey even though if you know anything about the Middle Ages, the brightly colored technicolor movies with gleaming whitewashed castles are what things really looked like back then. For example, if you can see the the stones in a castle, it’s a ruin. Living operational castles were always plastered and then washed with white lime to prevent weather damage and then painted with murals on the inside. Dyes were highly prized and abundant especially because anyone could make them. Wode being the most common since it’s a common plant that produces a wide spectrum of colors depending on how long you boil it and let it set. You wouldn’t see any dark rusty armor as it was polished daily with sand until gleaming and everybody bathed. Bathing culture was huge with many stories from the period involving bathhouses.
this is one of the greatest movies of all time
I saw this years ago. I liked the animation, and the story. Like Walt Disney.
It's a great movie. Thanks!
Recent Disney live action stuff is _awful_ (compared to _anything_ ). This beats all but _one_ (recent) Disney live action movie (Disenchanted).
When imagination and creativity ruled the screen.....movies like this and others ,especially holiday /Xmas movies Rudolf the rednosed reindeer, Santa Claus etc.
... at that time watch all these great films as in ... other language dialogue ... not understand much stories ... now as watch all these great great film again ... and understand film dialogue ... and knowledge of history... this is wonderful... . Thank you ... with love and blessing ... .
Nice movie of kerwin mathews and also 7 voyage of sinbad. Love him ❤
Haven't seen this since around 1963. Who ever thought I would see this in 2023 with a different view of demons, mysticism, and the occult. Interesting kids movie.
Fond childhood memories , thanks for the upload. Torin Thatcher : the greatest screen villain of all time. At least until Darth Vader . Lacks the Harryhauson / Charles H Schneer polish , but i still love it
We Enjoyed This Great Exciting Movie👍 Thanks Stream😊Happy Ending😊 2/22/23👏👏🇺🇸Ca🌟8:35pm. Enjoy Ur Nite Stream🥳🎉
Stop motion effects are pretty corny but I was impressed by all the actors, especially Ms Meredith as the princess. Awesome!
That was fun, any more movies good quality movies like that? I’ve seen the seventh voyage of Sinbad and it was great also. I’m always looking for more. I have yet to watch the three worlds of Gulliver, that’s on my ‘watch list’.
This film is a childhood favourite of mine. Kerwin Matthews and Torin Thatcher knock it out of the park. I own this on Blu Ray and I also live in Cornwall where its supposedly set.
Not sure of my British history, but I believe Cornwall was the first region in Britain to abandon paganism and convert to Christianity, it seems the purpose of the dark forces, in the movie was to re conquer Cornwall and thus all of Britain. Strange, but in 2023 we are witnessing a world wide battle between good and evil. Time for all of us to be Jack the giant killer.
@@craigrandall8930 I think you'll find it's the first place to adopt paganism. There is nit many Christians living in Cornwall. Our whole family is atheist.
I’m 68 and this movie was just fascinating to me when I saw it as a kid…the scenes with the witches kidnapping the princess terrified me…movies nowadays with CGI and blue screen FX have neither the charm or the fun of this kind of storytelling….
Me & brother & sister saw it at paramount AUSTINTX THE MOVIE HOUSE IS THERE IT SITALONE GONE 😢 now I’m 68 yrs ago wow I’m along what a dream would it be yrs 2023😊 Mario jr
This movie feels like it was made by Walt Disney production.🎥
Good flick for its day. I'm surprised that Harryhausen didn't do the special effects. Perhaps he influenced those who did. All in all a very talented cast and an entertaining production.
Edward Small wanted to do a follow up to 7nth Voyage of Sinbad. Ray Harryhausen was not interested, so he got a group of young animators including Jim Danforth. Then he rushed them into production with only one of the monsters completely finished, the flying dragon at the end. The others had their rubber flesh slapped over the armatures in a very crude fashion which gave them that skinny, smooth look. Danforth was one of two or three animators and his work stood out as the best. But the shoddy look of the monsters hurt the production badly and ultimately kept the film from enjoying the success it could have had. It fared well enough for kiddie shows. But has fallen into obscurity since. See it at all, even in this cropped format is rare.
One-of-a-kind, I've seen it countless times over the the past 50 years since me and my cousin went to a Saturday Matinee, they showed alot of these types of movies in my little hometown of Hudson Bay Saskatchewan Canada 🇨🇦 and you can't forget all the cool Japanese monster films 👌👍
I LOVE THiS So MUCH I HAD BEEN TRYiNG TO FINd THE HOLE MOVIE FOR 7 OR 7 YeARS
I saw it with my Late Father in Cinema when I was 12 Year old in Pakistan , Now I am 50 , my children also loved it seeing on DVDs and Its always fun to watch now on youtube
My niece, who is 3, loves the end bit of this she asks to watch it everytime i see her 🤩
the old movie story never get old.
I fondly remember this movie. They don't seem to make charming fantasy films these days, but add sarcastic humour.
fantastic film love it.
I bought it on dvd...childhood memories!!!
Tacky Saturday morning keep-the-kids-happy wonderfulness. This was my childhood!
Just a quick note, there was a "musical" version of this film also released at this time. It featured songs added into the story though not sung by the cast.
Good of you to post this for our enjoyment.
Jack the Giant Killer with the stop go animation was one of the greatest movies of my childhood.
Cool. I love old films like this🤩
