Little Jack Horner is one of the nursery rhyme characters to appear in Mother Goose: Rhymes To The Rescue.
Background[]
Little Jack Horner
Sat in the corner,
Eating a Christmas pie;
He put in his thumb,
And pulled out a plum,
And said ‘What a good boy am I.
Jack sure is a good boy, especially when it comes to helping save Rhymeville from those good-for-nothing Ill Wills. He always has time for a Christmas pie and is a good guy to have in your corner. He can even throw his Christmas pies whenever enemies are up to no good. He says that if you're not good, then you don't get any Christmas pies.
Jack appears as a black haired boy in a Santa Claus suit.
Appearances[]
In the movie, Old MacDonald greets Little Jack Horner inside his house as he rides through town on Marshall, his horse. Jack even sings his rhyme as part of "The Nursery Rhyme Medley".
As soon as the Ill Wills take control of Rhymeville, Jack is no longer allowed to have any more pies. So he, along with Mary and her lamb, decides to join Old MacDonald, Marshall, Hickory Dickory Dock, the Itsy Bitsy Spider, Mrs. Pumpkin-Eater, and Humpty Dumpty. Mary, Jack, and Humpty follow on foot.
Later, they team up with the Lion and the Unicorn, the Cat with the fiddle, the Cow that jumps over the moon, the Little Dog, the Dish, and the Spoon. Humpty rides the Unicorn while Mary and Jack ride the Lion.
The gang makes it past many obstacles until they decide to rest for the night, realizing that they need to believe in themselves in order to save their home.
When Mary is captured by the Ill Wills, Old Mac and his gang follow her lamb to find the paper fortress. They enter the fortress disguised as a giant centipede; once inside, the rhymesters take off their disguise and free their friends.
But before they can escape, the Ill Wills trap them refusing to let them continue their rhymes since the Wills hate rhymes and children. While Mother Goose goes after Commander Will, the Rhymesters take on the other Wills. Jack defeats the Wills by throwing pies in their faces.
As soon as all the Ill Wills are gone, Mother Goose decrees that and she her Rhymesters shall continue to do their rhymes. Jack is even seen at the celebration party in Old King Cole's castle; after the party, Jack and his friends return home to continue acting out their rhymes. In the end, Jack and the other Rhymesters wave goodbye to the viewers.
