Jack Robinson

Jack Robinson is the main protagonist of Brian Henson's television film Jack and the Beanstalk: the Real Story. Unlike the usual media, which portrays the original Jack as the hero and the giant as the villain, this film abandons Benjamin Tabart's additions and significantly villifies that Jack and makes the giant a nice giant whose hospitality Jack betrayed. Jack Robinson is the descendant of the Jack from the original fairy tale. Matthew Modine portrayed him.
Jack is the rich CEO of a large company and nobody male in his family has lived to be over 40 and he keeps having a bad dream about his father and an angry giant who orphaned him when Jack himself was a child. His boss is the villainous Sigfriend "Siggy" Mannheim who encourages him to turn down a food project and build a casino. He was encouraged to stay single forever so that after his death, Siggy would take over the company. Although Jack is locked up by the giants who reveal that the one giant the first Jack killed, Thunderdell, was really a friendly one, Ondine, the giant's foster daughter, feels sympathy, and goes back with him to retrieve the stolen goose and harp and return them to the giants' world so it can be rejuvenated again. Although Jack decides not to stay there, Ondine still stays with him, as she is allowed to spend a giant week (seven years to us) with him.
