In 1952, the comedy team of Abbott and Costello entered into a joint agreement with producer Alex Gottlieb and Warner Brothers, whereby two color musical comedies would be produced: Bud Abbott would serve as producer--owner of one of the films, while Lou Costello would do same for the other. Costello's contribution to this agreement was Jack and the Beanstalk, a kiddie-matinee adaptation of the famed fairy tale. Constructed along the lines of The Wizard of Oz, the film begins in black and white.

Even as kids movie, weak A&C.
Fee, fi, fo, flop!
Weird, but not in a good way. I guess I'm just not a fan of Abbott and Costello humor.

Bits of brilliant comedy, combined with moments of supremely bad special effects and embarrassingly unfunny jokes.
