Overview

James and the Giant Peach (1996)

Lonely orphan James is sent to live with his wicked and greedy aunts after his parents' untimely deaths. Unwanted and forced to perform menial chores, the boy dreams about traveling to New York City – a place his father once told him was where dreams come true. When James meets a mysterious old man who gives him a bag of magical, glowing crocodile tongues and tells him that marvelous things are about to happen, he accidentally spills the contents of the bag at the base of a barren old peach tree. To his astonishment, an enormous peach begins to sprout on the branch. When a glowing tunnel later appears, the frightened boy ventures inside the peach and meets a number of new friends, including a centipede, earthworm, ladybug, glowworm, grasshopper, and spider. Rolling out to sea, the giant peach launches its passengers on a series of wildly imaginative adventures with New York City as their final destination.
