The "Bert and the Beanstalk" story with Bert playing the role of Jack.

Jack and the Beanstalk is a fairy tale based upon the tale Jack the Giant-killer. First printed in 1807, Joseph Jacobs' 1890 version is the most commonly reprinted version today.

The story has been adapted and referenced for generations. Stephen Sondheim used Jack and his trips up the beanstalk as part of his Broadway musical Into the Woods. Mickey Mouse starred in an animated version in 1947's Fun and Fancy Free (narrated by Edgar Bergen, Charlie McCarthy and Mortimer Snerd). Other versions include those by Bugs Bunny, Abbott and Costello, The Three Stooges, Gene Kelly in a Hanna-Barbera special, and a Faerie Tale Theatre episode.
