I was curious about this cartoon after seeing its pictures on an animation blog. So I watched it online, and now I love it.
I thought it was a great satirical (if you would call it that) take on one of my favorite English folktales, "Jack the Giant Killer." Of course, in this cartoon, the two-headed, Yiddish-sounding giant's buzzard spy brings the "Jack" storybook to him. When the giant reads the part where the king will give Jack his daughter's hand in marriage if he slays all the giants, he scoffs, heads down to Earth, and wreaks havoc on the kingdom. But fortunately, Jack will come to the rescue.
You know, I think the animators got the idea for the giant from the Popeye cartoon "Popeye the Sailor meets Sindbad the Sailor." But anyway, I love this cartoon.
