Zak and the Beanstalk / Feat on Her Feet is the twelfth episode of the first season of Dragon Tales, and it is a great episode for kids who love adventure and fantasy. The episode starts with Zak, Emmy, and their dragon friends flying through the sky on their way to the Castle in the Sky. Zak spots a beanstalk growing from the ground, and he convinces the others to fly closer so they can investigate.
When they land, Zak decides to climb the beanstalk, leaving the others behind. He is excited by the adventure, and he is curious to know what he will find at the top. As he climbs higher, the beanstalk becomes thicker and stronger, and Zak is amazed when he finally reaches the top. He is greeted by a giant, who is not too happy to see him.
The giant is curious as to how Zak got to the top, and Zak tells him about the beanstalk. The giant realizes that the beanstalk is growing from a magic seed that he planted, and he decides to give Zak a gift as thanks for telling him about it. He presents Zak with a harp that can play any song he wishes, and Zak is overjoyed.
Meanwhile, Emmy and the dragons are worried about Zak and decide to climb the beanstalk to find him. When they reach the top, they too are greeted by the giant. However, this time the giant is not pleased to see them, as he thinks they are trying to steal his harp. The harp is so important to the giant that he will not allow anyone to take it.
Emmy and the dragons are sad that they cannot have the harp, but they quickly come up with a plan to distract the giant. They start dancing, and the giant becomes so mesmerized by their moves that he forgets all about the harp. This gives the dragons enough time to grab the harp and fly away.
With the harp in their possession, the dragons and Emmy fly back to Dragon Land. Zak is impressed by the harp and all the beautiful sounds that it produces. This inspires him to write a song, and he plays it on his new instrument. The dragons and Emmy join in, and they have a great time singing and playing music together.
Along with the main story of Zak and the Beanstalk, the episode also features a secondary plot called Feat on Her Feet. In this story, Max and Emmy's grandmother takes them to her dance studio, where she teaches them how to dance. Max is reluctant at first, but he soon discovers that he enjoys dancing.
To help Max and Emmy learn more about dancing, their grandmother shows them some of her old records. One of the records is a song called Feat on Her Feet, which Max and Emmy decide to learn a dance routine to. With some practice and encouragement from their grandmother, they soon master the routine and perform it for their parents.
Overall, Zak and the Beanstalk / Feat on Her Feet is a fun and exciting episode that teaches kids about the value of adventure, music, and dance. The episode is well-written and features some great animation, making it perfect for young viewers who love fantasy and adventure.
