	James and the Giant Peach - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		James and the Giant Peach is a children's book by Roald Dahl, originally illustrated by Nancy Ekholm Burkert, first published in the USA in 1961 by Alfred A. Knopf, Inc. and then in London in 1967 by Allen and Unwin.
		James Henry Trotter, an ordinary four year old boy, has had a happy life but is orphaned as a result of a bizarre and terrible accident (his parents were supposedly swallowed by a Rhino (which are, in truth, herbivorous).
		One night, James, who has been shoved out of the house to pick up the litter from the crowd, crawls inside the giant peach, where he finds a most bizarre group of friends: a giant grasshopper, centipede, spider, ladybug and several other giant insects.

		But when James' parents are killed by a giant rhinoceros (which is not shown), he finds himself living with a pair of ghoulish, self-centered aunts (Joanna Lumley and Miriam Margolyes) who work him to death and barely feed him.
		After a time, James meets an itinerant traveler (Pete Postlethwaite) who gives him a batch of magical alligator tongues, and when one escapes into a tree in the yard, the result is a giant peach.
		"James and the Giant Peach" is rated PG for violence (most of it comic in nature) and a couple of mildly vulgar gags.

		James' aunts are overwhelmingly happy by this sight, and start to charge the public to view it, whilst forbidding James access.
		James takes a closer look one night, and discovers a tunnel in the peach and begins to crawl through until he reaches the stone, where meets six larger than life creepy-crawlies that have been waiting for him.
		James and the Giant Peach has to be his best book he has ever written because of all of his ideas that he made James do.

	'James and the Giant Peach' (PG)
		James accidentally drops the bag and the magic tongues scatter everywhere, and one wiggles its way inside a peach hanging alone on a branch.
		And, as James crawls toward the center of the peach, he is transformed somehow into a puppet.
		Once James arrives at the center, he discovers a group of insects, as large as he is, hanging around the pit.

		James and the Giant Peach is a case in point: This stop-motion animated version of Roald Dahl's classic children's story is well-paced, imaginative and full of exciting visual tidbits.
		In fact, James and the Giant Peach is much more sophisticated and entertaining than Nightmare, though it's no Babe--in other words, there's not an adult-level story lurking inside the one for children.
		The "peach" is in fact the metaphorical representation of the surplus value created by his tireless labor.

	James and the Giant Peach
		So "James and the Giant Peach," the latest animated film from Disney, is a technological marvel, arch and innovative with a daringly offbeat visual conception.
		Enlarged along with the peach are a stogie-chomping centipede (with the voice of Richard Dreyfuss), a slinky Russian spider with two green irises in each eye (Susan Sarandon), an erudite English grasshopper (Simon Callow), a Cockney earthworm (David Thewlis) and a matronly ladybug (Jane Leeves).
		"James and the Giant Peach" is rated PG (parental guidance suggested).

	JAMES & THE GIANT PEACH
		The first time James enters the giant peach, it's dark and shadowy inside and several strange looking creatures are moving about (they turn out to be the non-menacing insects).
		James dreams that he's a caterpillar and that his aunts spray a pesticide cloud which comes nearer and nearer to him.
		Some of the violence is slapstick as the aunts try to kill a spider and end up falling down the stairs, and then one hits the other in the face with a fly swatter as she misses the spider.

		James and the Giant Peach, based on the 1961 Roald Dahl book of the same name, is a fairy tale beyond all fairy tales.
		Alas, the over-excited-9-year-old James stumbles on the roots of a barren peach tree and spills his "precious" package on the ground.
		James and the Giant Peach is well-crafted, and aside from a single use of the word "a--" and a couple of short "scary" sequences, James is ripe entertainment and provides succulent lessons in courage, loneliness, friendship, loss, tenacity and the struggle to make dreams come true.

	SPLICEDwire: "James & the Giant Peach" review
		Watching "James and the Giant Peach," Disney's and Tim Burton's celluloid incarnation of Roald Dahl's classic children's book, the seven-year-old in me was having a ball.
		James is sent to live with his wicked aunts, Spiker and Sponge, played by Joanna Lumley (of "Absolutely Fabulous" fame) and Miriam Margolyes (the voice of Fly in "Babe").
		James' insect companions, voiced largely by celebrities, include a distinguished, tea-sipping grasshopper (Simon Callow, "Four Weddings and a Funeral"), a cigar-chomping Brooklyn centipede (Richard Dreyfuss in a great tough-guy voice), an exotic French spider (Susan Sarandon), a matronly ladybug (Jane Leeves from TV's "Fraiser") and a paranoid earth worm (David Thewlis, "Total Eclipse").

		Parents should be aware that young James both loses his parents and is forced to live as a servant to abusive relatives.

	James and the Giant Peach Special Edition DVD review on AudioRevolution.com
		At once, the tree sprouts a peach that grows and grows until it is 20 feet in diameter.
		The bugs and James break the peach free, which flattens the aunts as it rolls into the sea and drifts away on the tide.
		Most of the animation sequence is set upon the giant peach; even though a kind of walkway wraps around it, and even though there's a cozy cave inside, it's still a very confined space upon which to set an adventure.

	James and the Giant Peach
		As advertised, the peach inflates to asteroidal proportions.
		Once James enters the peach (a naughty Dahl-esque joke that has gone over kids' heads since the book's 1961 publication), the movie shifts to Selick's witty animation and Lane Smith's surreal critters.
		James and the Giant Peach poops out at the end, when the movie returns to live action; the aunts show up, and James makes a lame speech about the importance of dreams.

	Peaches N' Dreams: Henry Selick's James and the Giant Peach
		Before being adapted to the screen, Roald Dahl's children's book, James and the Giant Peach captured the imagination of several generations of readers since it was first published in 1961.
		James is the story of an orphaned boy and his dream of going to New York City, "the place where dreams come true", his parents told him, before they were eaten by a wild rhinoceros.
		One of the film's most impressive scenes is when James faces his ultimate fear--a terrifically terrifying and huge rhinoceros--emerging from the clouds towards him.

	James and the Giant Peach (1996)
		James eats the last crocodile tongue and is transformed so that he can enter the peach.
		But James has the idea of harnessing a passing of flock of seagulls to tow the peach and they embark on a fantastical journey.
		The scene with the attack of the shark - depicted as a sort of giant Victorian submarine with rings of rotating teeth and grappling hooks - with each of the insects coming to the aid is absolutely joyous.
