More Detail:

From the creators of THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS, comes Disney’s JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH. Using stop-motion animation, live-action and computer animation for a seamless mix of pure fantasy, it is a faithful adaptation of the novel by Roald Dahl. The movie starts out with James on an English beach with his parents, where they dream of going to New York City. Suddenly, a rhinoceros-shaped storm cloud charges out destroying his parents. James goes to live with his two mean aunts, Spiker and Sponge. One day, an old man offers James a bag of magic crocodile tongues saying they make his dreams come true. James, excited, trips under a peach tree, spills the bag and it begins to grow an enormous peach. James crawls inside of it one day and discovers a group of human-sized insects. James and his new friends battle storms, sharks, skeletons, and more as they make their way to New York City.

Technically brilliant, the movie may put some people off by many scary scenes and images. JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH is a fairy tale and uses a great deal of magic to create supernatural realities. All good things stem from the grace of God, not willpower or magic. It is an excellent movie with edge-of-your-seat entertainment. It is visually juicy and sweet, but watch out for the magical pits.
