“Roald Dahl’s charming children’s story makes for an equally charming animated tale. When young James loses his parents, he is forced to live with his two oppressive aunts. That is until a giant peach miraculously appears in their garden, offering James flight across the ocean. Using the same stop-motion animation as in The Nightmare Before Christmas, Selick and his staff are able to incorporate live-action material, as well, to good effect. James and the Giant Peach is an affectionate fantasy which is capable of winning the hearts of children and parents alike.” (TLA Guide)
