I thought we'd start out with some of the least depressing goodbyes of the bunch. That's not to say that these giants deserved such a grim fate, but I think it's safe to say the male giant definitely overreacted a bit when Jack stole the magical harp. I mean, dude was cool with giving up golden eggs, but a singing harp was out of the question? Stra...
Let's be honest, this fedora-wearing wolf had it coming what with eating grannies, little girls, and such. However, I would've liked to have seen Johnny Depp a little more than what the movie allotted, especially since there was so much hype surrounding his particular casting. So to only have him appear for 10 minutes (at best) throughout the entir...

By the end of Act I, everyone has gotten their wish and will seemingly live happily ever after. But in Act II, when Jack’s beanstalk brings them a visit from an angry Giant, we see how the consequences of their actions haunt them in disastrous ways.
