创作背景
《杰克与豆茎》是一个西方流传已久的，关于巨人和豆茎的传统故事，讲述了杰克敢于冒险，用勇气和智慧战胜了巨人，和母亲过上了幸福的生活的故事。
意在告诉人们，在生活中可能也会遇到一些困难，但是在困境中能够像杰克一样，勇敢坚强，积极面对生活，为了家人和梦想而奋斗。
根据该童话故事改编的同名电影《杰克与豆茎》是一部穿梭天地人神间的魔幻大片，片中的特技之逼真，令人为之惊叹。
本片改编自家喻户晓的民间传说，但在情节的设置上对传统的故事又进行了一些颠覆。把传说中的恶巨人变成好巨人，把勇斗恶巨人的杰克变成偷窃犯和谋杀犯。
与同为魔幻大片的《纳尼亚传奇》相比，《杰克与豆茎》中的故事情节更为吸引，可谓 有过之而无不及。另外值得一提的是，片中的超特技效果，让人应接不暇，感觉耳目一新。

《杰克和豆茎》（Jack and the Beanstalk）是一则英国童话，它是最著名的杰克故事。1734年首次出现于《杰克‧史普林金与魔豆的故事》，1807年时出现在本杰明·塔巴特（Benjamin Tabart）的版本《杰克与魔豆史话》，但最普及的是约瑟夫·雅各布（Joseph Jacobs）的版本（1890年）。
有研究认为，约瑟夫的版本可能比较接近口语流传时的版本，因为本杰明的版本中含有说教劝世的内容，而口语流传时的版本通常比较没有这类成分。
