Description: rub a dub series, Weaves two children's stories into an animated fable about a modern day Jack who finds conforming life styles at each of several socio-economic levels. Relates how a lonely Jack, dissatisfied with the conformity of his life, climbs a beanstalk and meets a modern day giant whose mirror allows Jack all the riches and power he desires. Shows how these new existences were different but just as routine and confining as his original life. Concludes humorously with Jack wanting to be "different" once more.
