What is James and the Giant Peach about?
When the young orphan boy James spills a magic bag of crocodile tongues, he finds himself in possession of a giant peach that flies him away to strange lands.
James and the Giant Peach is a 1996 musical fantasy film directed by Henry Selick, based on the 1961 novel of the same name by Roald Dahl. Combining live-action and stop-motion animation, it was produced by Tim Burton and Denise Di Novi, and starred Paul Terry as James. Joanna Lumley and Miriam Margolyes played James's self-absorbed Aunts Spiker and Sponge, respectively, and Pete Postlethwaite played the old man who gives James crocodile tongues, with Simon Callow, Richard Dreyfuss, Jane Leeves, Susan Sarandon, and David Thewlis, as well as Margolyes, voicing his insect friends in the animation sequences.
