Sleeping Beauty is a rip roaring tale that will take the audience, young and old, from one adventure to another, with side splitting gags, laugh out loud slapstick, chases and good old "good versus evil".

One day, his village is attacked by giants who take away the girl he loves - presumably to eat her. Jack needs to pluck up the courage and climb that bean- stalk to make the transition from zero to hero, from no- body to somebody, from loser to legend.
