Fine as a child's sketch, and the reel is happy that Jack steals.

The review
A child can watch Porter's 1902 reel, and that permission is not praise. Jack trades a cow for beans, climbs, and meets a giant. It is a sketch of the tale, not a feature, and not a later telling. The theft from the giant is the adventure the film enjoys.
I won't pin a storybook year like 1734 on this Edison short. The film is 1902. The cow is what he gave away, and the climb is a few minutes of giant and theft. Fine for a child who already knows the sketch, if you say the stealing is the part the picture likes.

The glance
Industry and Household and Piety and Republic and Temperance and Truth and Stewardship are the thin ones.
Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

My Little Pony: The Movie
43 instead of 31
My Little Pony: The Movie is still a fantasy film, and it scores 43 instead of 31. What you gain is industry: A journey, lightly.
