| ‘Gigantic’: Disney Shuts Down Animated ‘Jack and The Beanstalk’ Movie
Back in 2015 Disney announced a new animated project titled Gigantic. The movie was to be based on the Jack and the Beanstalk fairy tale, and had Inside Out, The Good Dinosaur, and Captain Marvel writer Meg LeFauve and Nathan Greno (Tangled) attached to direct. It even had a 2020 release date locked in. But while Disney has a strong track record of releasing hit movies, sometimes the things they’re developing don’t work out the way they hoped.

| D23 Expo 2015: ‘Gigantic’ Confirms ‘Frozen’ Songwriting Duo
At D23 Expo 2015 yesterday, as the presentations continued to roll out, John Lasseter excitedly talked about Disney Animation Studios’ next project, a retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk.
