As you can see, I like to use dashes a lot, so prepare yourself. The timeline will probably be warped as fuck- as in, it won’t be in order- so apologies in advance. This is planned to be a one-shot series, but all stories take place in the same Jack Milbourne Universe. (To be frank, the only reason *she* hasn’t been murdered yet is because of her cleaning skills. Please enjoy Jack roasting Floch and seeing her murder various Titans throughout. Jack Milbourne is a problematic cadet who tries her best to not embarrass herself but always ends up managing to do it anyway. “That’s me adding to the box of reasons why I shouldn’t listen to Jean under any circumstances.” Clunk.” “What are you doing-” “Do you hear that?” Jack interrupted loudly, shaking the metal box around so it made an obnoxious clattering noise. “Clank,” Jack said as she began to drop pens, one by one, into the box.
Kerwin Matthews passed away in 2007, a handsome swashbuckling actor, Jack The Giant Killer was his last foray into the fantasy adventure genre. Thankfully the film was finally restored to its original glory on DVD and found a whole new generation of fantasy adventure fans with a bent for the lost art of stop motion animation. Small would take this personally and intending to make something of the movie, had it re-dubbed and made into a musical.
Once released the film was panned by the critics and many parents were outraged that the film was too violent and scary for youngsters. Columbia sued Small on the grounds of plot similarity, thus holding up the release of the film in the UK for several years (it wasn't banned as some people seem to think). While the other effects, filmed in "Fantascope" come courtesy of Howard A. Harryhausen, however, said no, perhaps understandably, so his creatures were created for "Jack" by Project Unlimited under the watchful eye of one time Harryhausen understudy Jim Danforth. So here, four years later, he gathered the same crew for what essentially is a retread of the plot of Sinbad's seventh in the hope of replicating said success. A big success for Columbia, Harryhausen had offered it to UA producer Edward Small who turned it down, much to his regret. In 1958 director Nathan Juran had helmed The 7th Voyage of Sinbad with both Matthews and Thatcher starring as the good and evil characters respectively. The mere mention of stop motion automatically brings to mind the great name of Ray Harryhausen. It's loosely based on the traditional tale "Jack the Giant Killer" and features the use of stop motion animation. There's quite a back story to this United Artists feature film.
But Pendragon is not to be denied and a battle between good and evil commences. However, his plans are at first thwarted when farmers boy Jack (Kerwin Matthews) slays the giant sent by Pendragon to claim the Princess. It's the fairy tale land of Cornwall, England, and the Black Prince Pendragon (Torin Thatcher) plans to abduct Princess Elaine (Judith Meredith) so as to gain control of the land.
