Synopsis:

Set against a whimsical, subtly unsettling landscape reminiscent of folklore illustrations, this series reimagines the classic tale of Jack and the Beanstalk through the lens of a peculiar world inhabited by anthropomorphic creatures. Pochacco, a curious and somewhat naive character, finds himself unexpectedly drawn into a fantastical journey mirroring the original narrative. The story explores themes of ambition, consequence, and the blurring lines between reality and imagination within a society built on unusual customs and hidden histories. The animation style emphasizes detailed environments and expressive character designs, creating an atmosphere that is both charming and tinged with melancholy. Expect a contemplative experience focused on character interactions and subtle storytelling rather than high-octane action, inviting viewers to ponder the deeper meanings woven into this familiar fable.
