Fairytale comes alive – Disney unveils Jack and the Beanstalk

Disney has disclosed some of its forthcoming attractions. One of these is an animated film of Jack and the Beanstalk that will feature a 60ft tall, 11-year-old girl. The movie Gigantic will be directed by Nathan Greno. He, it may be recalled, was in charge on Tangled, Disney's re-telling of Rapunzel.
This has been reported in news.sky.com dated 15 August 2015.

The movie would have songs by Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez, who penned the hit Let It Go from Frozen. Greno has confided the D23 Expo fan convention in Anaheim, California, that Gigantic would be the definitive version of Jack and the Beanstalk. There would be comedy and deep emotion.
Singing star Shakira will provide the voice of Gizelle in the movie and would also provide a song for Zootopia - an animated movie about a city that is populated by animals who walk upright, wear clothes and hold down jobs.
The film, expected to release next March, will feature a rabbit cop called Judy Hopps, voiced by Ginny Goodwin, and Nick Wilde, a mischievous fox voiced by Jason Bateman.
The story of Zootopia is about the city split into habitat-specific districts – like Tundra Town, populated by arctic animals, and The Burrows, the rabbit neighborhood.
