At Disney's D23 event, the company announced it's working on a new animated feature based on Jack and the Beanstalk called Gigantic. The film is set in Spain during the 15th century.

The movie will be directed by Tangled director Nathan Greno with music from Frozen's Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez. In the film, Jack befriends an 11 year-old girl, one who also happens to be a 60 foot-tall giant. It will follow the classic tale of Jack, who acquires magic beans and uses them to plant a beanstalk that reaches into the world of giants.

It's "not what you've seen before with a big dumb giants walking around," Disney explained, but instead the world is inhabited with various cultures of giants, including the film's antagonistic element, the Storm Giants.

"A tiny little man and an 11 year-old girl trying to stop these Storm Giants," who are wreaking havoc in the world of giants.

During the panel, Greno said he hopes Gigantic "will become the definitive version of Jack in the Beanstalk."

Anderson-Lopez sang an original song while concept art from Gigantic was shown during the D23 panel. In the concept art, the giant girl plays with Jack as a child would play with a doll, slamming him to the ground before picking him up and singing "My falling, crying, almost dying man."

Gigantic will be hitting theaters in 2018.
