Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/4 --
The film is a technical tour de force, featuring a wealth of inventive design ideas. But James never develops the emotional dimension that Nightmare possessed.

New York Daily News
Ultimately, though, it isn't nearly as flavorful as Roald Dahl's deliciously perverse children's book, upon which the movie is based.

Rating: 3/4 --
The fantasy is almost too inventive for its own good.

Christian Science Monitor
As a tribute to the cranky genius of Dahl, it's both fond and, in the best sense, fruitful.
New Yorker
A truly sinister fairy story laced with bizarre characters -- both live-action and animated -- James and the Giant Peach from Walt Disney Pictures is a stunning, if not markedly macabre, adaptation of author Roald Dahl's best-selling 1961 book.

...One of the most striking works of animation of the last ten years...

...Finally a fun-house whirl that's not just for the kids....It's bliss...

Product Description:
After James's parents are killed by a rogue rhinoceros, he is forced to live with his nasty aunts far from any kind of fun. But when a gigantic peach begins growing in the yard and James befriends the large insects who live inside, he sees a way to escape from his wicked aunts to New York City. JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH is a magical musical adventure based on the classic children's book by Roald Dahl, featuring an all-star cast as the voices of the assorted insects.
