Príncipe Tulipa, a towering giant manipulated by his domineering mother, Madame Hecuba, becomes a pawn in her scheme to seize control of the cloud kingdom via his arranged marriage to Princess Margaret. Initially dim-witted and subservient, he dutifully obeys Hecuba’s commands to hunt Jack, though flickers of resentment surface toward her relentless abuse. The union with Margaret hinges on Hecuba’s brainwashing, which masks Tulipa’s intimidating stature beneath the illusion of a charming prince.

Their toxic relationship, marred by Hecuba’s verbal cruelty, fractures decisively when Tulipa rebels, crushing her beneath his foot. Though this defiance breaks her hold, his true intentions remain opaque—neither clear devotion to Margaret nor a deeper ethical awakening defines his actions.

His exaggerated design merges menace with absurdity, featuring heart-patterned underwear and slapstick theatrics. During the climactic pursuit of Jack and Crosby, he morphs into a train-like entity, barreling through a chaotic chase that blends threat with farce.

Tulipa’s story concludes as Jack fells the beanstalk, sending him plummeting to his death. This classic fairy-tale ending contrasts with a haunting reprise of a once-joyful song, framing him as both antagonist and tragic product of maternal tyranny.
