Inspired by Roald Dahl's beloved children's book, Burton, Denise Di Novi and Director Henry Selick combine a fascinating mix of live-action, stop-motion animation and computer-generated special effects to create a world beyond your imagination. After the daring rescue of a spider, a young boy named James gains possession of some magic crocodile tongues. When James spills them in the garden, out sprouts an enormous peach! Climbing inside, he meets an astonishing cast of characters and embarks on a magical odyssey full of thrills and adventure. Voiced by an all-star cast, including legendary actors Richard Dreyfuss, Susan Sarandon, Simon Callow and Jane Leeves, and featuring the celebrated music of Randy Newman, this classic story is delicious entertainment for the whole family!|The movie is based on the 1961 novel by Roald Dahl.|The fantasy scenes were filmed using stop-motion animation enhanced by computer-generated imagery and digital effects. Live action photography took place in a large hangar at a decommissioned naval base on Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay and at nearby Hunter's Point. The animation was done at Skellington Productions in San Francisco, the same studio where THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS had been produced, and it used some of the same crew.|Jack Skellington, from THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS, makes a cameo appearance in the underwater sequences.|More than 50 peaches were constructed for the film, ranging from 3-inch miniatures to 20-foot jumbos.|Two of Roald Dahl's granddaughters appear briefly as extras in the film. Review: Excellent film by Henry Selick - James and the Giant Peach is based on the children’s book of the same name by Roald Dahl. This is director Henry Selick’s first film after The Nightmare Before Christmas and already an improvement in the quality of the stop motion animation is evident. The film opens with a boy named James (Paul Terry) living happily with his parents as they picnic and plan to move to New York. Unfortunately they are killed by a rhino. This occurs off-screen, but it's also the only explanation ever given about their deaths. When James lives with his Aunts, they often use the rhino as a threat, making it more of an intangible representation of fear; not unlike the boogey man. James' Aunts, Spiker (Joanna Lumley) and Sponge (Miriam Margolyes) are cruel and grotesque. They beat and starve James while obsessing over their own vanities. Actually, they are far more disturbing than anything that James encounters throughout the film. When a mysterious traveler (played very theatrically by Pete Postlethwaite) gives James some magic crocodile tongues, they create the giant peach and James himself ends up entering it and meeting the insects. Together, they all decide to journey to the wonderful land of New York and escape James’ Aunts. The characters that make up the insects are terrific. There’s the tough talking Centipede (voiced by Richard Dreyfuss), the French spider (Susan Sarandon), the wise Grasshopper (Simon Callow), the negative and depressed worm (David Thewlis), the sweet old ladybug (Jane Leeves), and the half-deaf glowworm (also voiced by Miriam Margolyes). One of the first things to notice about this film is the way it blends live action and stop motion animation in a manner that's almost completely seamless. The first part of the film, being the opening scenes and those of James and his aunts, are done entirely in live action. The environments however, are spectacularly animated and picturesque. The neighboring town and ocean seen in the distance seems so much more vivid and peaceful than the dead, lifeless hill where James’ two Aunts reside. It's only when James enters the peach that everything, including James, becomes fully animated. The animation is incredibly detailed and nuanced; the characters can display a wide variety of emotions and movements that it's even a step up from The Nightmare Before Christmas only 3 years before. I would argue that this film is much more established as a Henry Selick film than The Nightmare Before Christmas, which obviously retained a lot of influence from Tim Burton’s designs and style (though Jack Skellington does make a cameo appearance in this film). In James and the Giant Peach, there are more bright colors and surreal images. The shark that attacks them in the sea for instance is not a typical shark, but a mechanical monstrosity that grinds up fish and shoots out their heads on plates. The best example however, is the “Family” song sequence. During this sequence, the insects sing a song for James and as the song progresses, the world around them becomes filled with moving colors and objects, floating around in the sky to the point where the very peach itself becomes part of a spinning mobile, which James then plucks from the background and takes into his hands. It's a highlight and the creativity and imagination at work here makes this entire film stand out as a great movie for children and adults to see. All the music is done by Randy Newman and with the exception of the song during the credits (the only one that he sings personally) it doesn’t sound so typical of his normal musical style. Nearly every song is both catchy and memorable and all of them feel like they belong within the story. James and the Giant Peach is a wonderful film and one of Henry Selick’s best to date. There are some surrealistic qualities about this film but it always feels accessible and natural to the tone and visuals of the story. Even though this particular style of animation is more advanced and sophisticated now, as seen in more recent Henry Selick films like Coraline, this one still holds up very well in terms of sheer technical quality and great storytelling. Review: A Giant Peach, Talking Bugs, and Childhood Trauma—What’s Not to Love? - James and the Giant Peach is like if Tim Burton had a fever dream after eating expired fruit. It’s weird, whimsical, and just the right amount of unsettling. Giant bugs become James’s ride-or-die crew, and somehow we all just accept that a giant flying peach is a reasonable way to escape awful aunts. The animation is delightfully creepy, the story is wild, and the seagull-powered flight scene? Iconic. Great for kids, nostalgic for adults, and slightly disturbing for everyone—just how Roald Dahl intended. 🍑💥 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003L4Y5B2 | | Actors | Jane Leeves, Joanna Lumley, Paul Terry, Richard Dreyfuss, Susan Sarandon | | Aspect Ratio | 1.66:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #8,265 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #4,348 in Blu-ray | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (8,322) | | Director | Henry Selick | | Dubbed: | English, French, Spanish | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 786936799521 | | Language | English (DTS-HD High Res Audio), French (Dolby Digital 5.1), Spanish (Dolby Digital 5.1) | | MPAA rating | PG (Parental Guidance Suggested) | | Media Format | NTSC, Subtitled | | Number of discs | 2 | | Product Dimensions | 0.7 x 7.5 x 5.4 inches; 2.88 ounces | | Release date | August 3, 2010 | | Run time | 1 hour and 19 minutes | | Studio | WALT DISNEY PICTURES | | Subtitles: | English, French, Spanish | | Writers | Based Upon The Book By Roald Dahl, Screenplay By Karey Kirkpatrick And Jonathan Rober | ## Product Details - **Format:** NTSC, Subtitled - **Genre:** Animation - **Initial release date:** 1996-04-12 - **Language:** English ## Images ![James and the Giant Peach - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/712GkKVb+-L.jpg) ![James and the Giant Peach - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81S7W4H4gEL.jpg) ![James and the Giant Peach - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/814LbnTNH2L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent film by Henry Selick *by B***N on April 11, 2014* James and the Giant Peach is based on the children’s book of the same name by Roald Dahl.
