February 26, 1967 –
Gene Kelly starred in Jack and the Beanstalk on NBC (produced by Hanna-Barbara) on this date. It was the first TV special to combine live action and animation.
This version of the 17th-century English fairy tale seems to plagiarize elements from the Bud Abbott and Lou Costello version, Jack and the Beanstalk. The bean salesman accompanies Jack up the beanstalk, and his hat falls all the way down after reaching the top. (In the original tale, Jack has no companions on his climb.)
