James and the Giant Peach

...the film is beautiful to look at...

At its lyrical best, James and the Giant Peach, an adaptation of Roald Dahl's 1961 children's classic, evokes the casual enchantment of a book that, for many kids (including me), cast the spell of a goofily blissed-out mirage.

A favourable adaptation of one of the greatest children's stories ever.

All of the creatures, especially the colorful insects that share James' journey, are brought to vivid life...

In virtually every frame, the world looks fresh, big, and mysterious, as it would to a child, and as it should here.
