Admittedly never really being a huge fan of James And The Giant Peach as a young child and only started watching it as a teenager and having liked it then, I think after a while I noticed the flaws within this film and how I think it could have been so much better. I mean, the weaknesses of this film in my opinion are that I didn't find the young man who played James entirely convincing, it lacked... read more

I remember it very well, more than 20 years ago, I saw ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’ and I thought it was really awesome. Back then, there was quite some controversy about this movie because, even though it was in fact directed by Henry Selick, Tim Burton eventually seemed to get most of the credit for this amazing movie. Eventually, 3 years later, Selick would release another stop-motion f... read more

" It is always a big cred. when you actually make something by hands and film it over a long time instead of just putting something on a computer. I have always liked the original children's book that is both witty and funny and the film have a lot of it's dark humor and fantasy intact. Sadly, the movie also have terrible songs and the kid actor could have been better. "

"James is a "normal" kid who lives next to a giant peach. But when he enters it, he becomes a stop-motion cartoon character and befriends a group of talking insects. And even though that might sound weird, the truth is, it's a pretty common occurence whenever a live-action person enters a peach the size of a house. And if you don't believe, next time you see a giant piece of fruit, try it. See what happens. In the meantime, I'll be here, logged on this site, waiting to tell you "See? I told you s"
