When his parents are killed by a giant rhino, James Henry Trotter has to live with (and skivvy for) his nasty aunts Spiker and Sponge. However, after he is given magic crocodile tongues by a stranger, amazing things begin to happen. James escapes from his aunts by climbing inside a giant peach, and setting off with all the friendly, talking insects who live inside it. A mixture of live action for the out-of-peach sequences and animation for the main part of the story. Review: Amazing 👏 🤩 - Fabulous Roald Dahl film, a boy has to live with his two awful Aunts, after he looses his parents. They treat him badly, but he manages to escape into a gigantic peach that grows in his garden. There he meets up with insects, who live inside it and become his friends 🧡 this film is a combination of puppets and CGI. Great story. 👍 Review: A Magical Adventure for All Ages - James & The Giant Peach is a delightful adaptation of Roald Dahl's classic tale that captures the imagination with its unique blend of live-action and stop-motion animation. The story follows young James, an orphaned boy who embarks on a fantastical journey aboard a giant peach with a quirky cast of insect friends. The animation is mesmerizing, with Tim Burton’s signature style evident in every frame. The characters are charming and distinct, from the wise Old Green Grasshopper to the motherly Miss Spider. The voice acting is superb, adding depth and warmth to the whimsical storyline. The film balances its darker elements with humor and heart, making it equally enjoyable for children and adults. The music, composed by Randy Newman, is another highlight, perfectly complementing the magical and sometimes eerie atmosphere. This DVD offers decent picture quality for its age, and the bonus features provide an insightful look into the making of this cinematic gem. Whether you're a fan of the book or new to the story, James & The Giant Peach is a must-watch—a timeless adventure filled with wonder, friendship, and a touch of Dahl's signature eccentricity.

Absolutely brilliant movie
My children watched James and the giant peach on DVD over and over again they enjoyed it so much. That was years ago and now they're all grown up so I thought I'd buy it to see if it's a worthy watch now. It definitely is a worthy watch. My daughter watched it as soon as I bought it too and said it was as good as she remembered. It's a mix of real people and animation. The story is a children's mix of peril and laughter. The story is thoroughly entertaining in my view of how the huge peach rolls down the hill with James and a whole family of creepy crawlies. Surely everyone's seen this though right and if you haven't you're missing out on something brilliant. My recommendation is go and buy it you won't regret getting this classic children's tale.

Este Blu-ray en alta definición es excelente en comparación con el DVD anterior. Las partes de la película donde aparecen actores reales se ven un tanto extrañas (con grano) probablemente porque utilizaron film y una iluminación oscura pero eso solo muestra que la película fue grabada en una época en la que todavía no se utilizaban cámaras digitales. Las partes de la película donde aparecen las animaciones (que es la gran mayoría) se ven increíblemente nítidas. El único pero que le pongo son los contenidos extras. Ya no hacen contenidos extras como en Los tiempos dorados del DVD, por lo que no hay prácticamente ningún contenido de buena calidad sobre cómo se hizo la película, una lástima considerando todo el trabajo que implica la animación en stop-motion. En fin, es una excelente película animada con una buena historia, bonitas canciones y en una gran calidad de imagen! Recomendada!
