Summary[]
Aunt Moo, a kindly old cow, and her children (the Rugrats) are given a bag of magical beans by a mysterious stranger. This stranger (Susie) turns out to be a magic fairy, and the beans they threw out the window grown into a gigantic beanstalk that leads up to the castle of a terrible giant (Angelica).
Plot[]
The special begins with Taffy and the kids in the garden. Taffy fills the kid's cups with milk from a talking Aunt Moo pitcher. Susie asks Taffy if Stu made it, with her responding that he is an "udder genius". The kids were amazed by this new invention, except for Angelica, who thought it was too bossy when reminded to clean the cups when done. Sitting on a blanket under the shade of a tree, Taffy began to tell the kids the story of "Jack and the Beanstalk", which she renames "Three Jacks and a Beanstalk" since there were three boys in the Rugrats group, Tommy, Chuckie and Phil. The story soon begins as it changes to the story as Tommy and Dil were playing in a sandbox. Tommy was dressed as Jack from the original story of Jack and the Beanstalk. After his bottle runs out of milk, Tommy goes to get milk from the cow, who happens to be Aunt Moo as Taffy tells how "Jack" and his baby brother lived in a small shack with a cow named Aunt Moo.
Aunt Moo fills the bottle with milk from her udder as Tommy takes the bottle back to Dil, who drinks the milk again, as Taffy tells how Jack and his little bro lived off the milk Aunt Moo made for them while they sold the rest at the market. At the market Tommy is advertising for Aunt Moo's milk as he says that the milk is for sale and is for "big strong tooths". An ogre then approaches saying the milk looked good as he reached for a bottle, only to have Dil squirt milk from his baby bottle onto the Ogre's face.

Trivia[]
- Even though this episode/movie isn't canon, this is the twelfth and final time we see Tommy wearing shoes as a baby.
- On November 5, 2006, this episode/movie aired for the first time on Nickelodeon.[1][2]
- This episode/movie (along with Vacation (Episode) is the only piece of original Rugrats media that never aired on NickRewind.
- This special was also used in bumpers for Rugrats' Big Adventure Sunday on Nick on February 3, 2013, but the whole movie was not included.
- Giant Angelica's shoes are on and then off in between scenes sometimes. Though it's possible she takes her shoes off off-screen.
- This is the second time Angelica appears as a giant, the first was in "Angelicon".
Goofs[]
- Tommy doesn't have his baby tooth when viewing him eating a bean through his In-The-Mouth-Camera Shot. Probably an animation error with the animators thinking it's Dil, when really, Dil was animated eating it normally like Kimi before and Chuckie after.
- During the song "Looking for A Miracle" when the babies sing "in this small bed" Dil's mouth is moving despite not being able to talk.
Moral(s)[]
- Bigger is not always better.
- When we share, we get our share of friends.
- Friends can be like family.
