It's a fun little kid's fantasy movie, who cares, it's not worth thinking too deeply about. It's not exactly a film that's meant to be impermeable to scrutiny.

It was right up until they broke all suspension of disbelief by tethering it to the real world at the end.

So you were maintaining a solid suspension of disbelief right up until the end, and then they blew it with reality. Does it remind you of waking up every morning?

It's about freaking giants. Don't be that guy at the party trying to make it unrealistic with a plot development that didnt make realistic sense to you. Freaking giants.

I wouldn't say that pretending that a fiction is set in the real world and then noting things that don't make sense under that assumption amounts to thinking "deeply" about anything.

You honestly don't think that after the giants went home they didn't chop it down again? Really?

Its explained in other fantasy stories. In Bill Willingham's Fables, you can only access to the Cloud Lands via magic beanstalk. You cannot fly or get there any other way.

One would need to get another magic bean in order to get there in present day.

Considering what we can do with genetic engineering nowadays, I'm not seeing that as a problem.

Watching the end when it goes away in the sky I was thinking this is London, England they must have a *beep* load of jets flying in and out. None of them have hit it?

They needed a magic beanstalk to get there, so obviously they passed in to another dimension, when they crawled up the beanstalk and went thrue the clouds.
It always becomes a little more explainable, when you add a little Sci-Fi to it :-)

> They needed a magic beanstalk to get there,

Not exactly. Remember that some soldiers and a giant fell from Gargantua and landed on Earth. They did not seem to need the beanstalk to move between dimensions.

the beanstalk was still connected to the giant realm(the cloud) the moment it fell to the ground the connection was severed

The weight of the giants was holding the "island" in place as it floated in the clouds when the giants climbed down, it resumed floating away and ended up in deep space around the asteroid belt

Thats why in the present time, no floating place for planes or satellites to find

Its almost like this movie is...I dont know...unrealistic, or something...

Go figure...

It's another dimension, a realm between the human and divine, duh. You need a "Beanstalk" to travel there, no airplane will do.
Btw, did you know that neither pilots nor astronauts have yet discovered a bearded guy sitting somewhere in the sky? That is a definite proof that God doesn't exist to an intelligent person.

Also - it's a fairy-tale.
