Jack and the Beanstalk
All his life young Jack has only ever had one dream - to become a famous knight. Unfortunately he comes from a dirt-poor family that can't even afford to keep up with the ever-increasing rent. One day the village is attacked by giants who take away the girl he loves - presumably to eat her. Jack needs to pluck up the courage and climb that beanstalk to make the transition from zero to hero, from nobody to somebody, from loser to legend.
