If you loved The Life of Budori Gusuko, try Jack and the Beanstalk

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Gisaburō Sugii, and they sit in Animation / Fantasy territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Life of Budori Gusuko, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Jack and the Beanstalk is

Sinbad without ships. Jack trades a cow for magic beans and ascends to a giant's kingdom. The animation offers a charming, if dated, take on the classic fairy tale.
