      When Jack first arrives in the castle. Princess Margaret tells him he smells of pigs, chickens, and geese, but does not mention cows or dogs, which were the only animals on the farm. Earlier when Jack's mother is reprimanding him for giving the cow away for beans, she tells him, "all your father left us was that cow".
    • Quotes

      Madam Hecuba: [as a singing toy] You're just a lazy, good for nothing, lump of blah, you look like something someone left out in the rain, you're so mean and ugly you should be against the law, you're a monster you're just a pain, scary, hairy, sloppy, floppy, you're an awful shock, that old face of yours would stop a clock, any sort of clock, I wouldn't kiss that ugly mug of yours, no one would if she could, you make me yuck!, sick, sick, sick, sick, sick!

      [Tulip smashes toy]

    watching this truly makes me happy
    it's strange when you find that you have the same story as so many other people. especially when something is so rare like this movie. but yes i must admit that i too got the chance to view an old recorded copy of this film when i was much younger, years and years ago. this was actually in a daycare i went to. and as i eventually left, so did my chance at viewing the movie. that is until like 10 years later when i searched and searched and managed to get my hands on an old rental copy. id never been happier.

    this movie is insane. by insane i mean the presence it gives off when you watch it. the animation is brilliant and has a definite japanimation feel, yet is something unique. the characters and series of events are probably the most creative in any adaption of anything I've seen. and id forgotten how entrancing the music is until i finally watched it again after all those years. its strange when something actually sticks into your mind so firmly when you are so young. things usually just pass by and your attention isn't as focused. but there is just something about this movie really penetrates the mind. even when you're older. this movie honestly wipes the floor with Disney.
