Plot

In a twist on Jack and the Beanstalk , Bugs Bunny finds himself in a giant's realm in the sky, where he angers the dim-witted giant by chopping down carrots in his victory garden. Bugs spends the movie evading the giant, even challenging him to a duel. In the end he tricks the giant into falling from the sky-land to earth, leaving a canyon-like hole in the ground from which he delivers the final line: "watch out for that first step, it's a lulu."

Production notes

Jack-Wabbit and the Beanstalk is a parody of the fairy tale Jack and the Beanstalk . It should not be confused with Beanstalk Bunny (1955), another parody of this story starring Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Elmer Fudd.
