"The Princess Bride succeeded, to a great degree, because it was so old-fashioned. The special effects eschewed contemporary approaches and recalled fifty-year-old classics such as The Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland (Rodents of Unusual Size, anyone?), and the storyline was an amalgam of classic fairytale motifs that were instantly recognizable. This is the legacy of which the new version of Jack and the Beanstalk—a follow-up of sorts to director Gary J. Tunnicliffe’s own straight-to-DVD Hansel and Gretel (2002)—longs to be a part, the first in a proposed series of such titles from Avalon Family Entertainment."
