i loved this movie!!! i thought that it was the best one i have seen in my entire life. i thought it was hilarious when james said "i finished all the chores", and then sponge says "what a coincidence, we just finished all the dinner", and i also thought it was funny when james saw the fish heads in the oven, and then sponge, noting the disgusted expression says "oh do let me guess, they're not good enough for him!!!!" i seriously think that joanna lumley and miriam margolyes should be comedians, especially miriam margolyes!!
overall i think that this is a great film, and it is also very humorous!!

James and the Giant Peach is a great book!! It has a fabulous adventure. Every kid wonders how it would be if they shrank and in this book you get to experience James's time as he was small. It really expands your imagination because to think you can bite into a peach and then be able to live in it and talk to insects is truly remarkable. It teaches how to work together as a group. They would have never survived in the peach without one another. So I really recommend this book to anyone and everyone!!!

We watch this movie, which is really quite different from the book, and he dances around, singing the songs. It's an enjoyable movie. The special effects are amazing. This DVD has a bit about how the creatures had to be moved for every screen shot; it was really interesting to watch that part.
There are quite a few scary parts to this movie. The shark that chases the peach is pretty scary for kids. The underwater scene has some scary parts (and skeletons!). The aunts are horrible people well-played by good actresses. The kid is adorable and does a good job, too.
If you know the book: there are no Cloud Men in this movie.
It's a good movie. My friend's daughter said it was "scary" and wouldn't watch it, though. My two don't seem to mind.
a good book also July 12, 2004

this is a very sorowful tale of horrible women who mistreat a small child called james.he finds some magic ..........mmmmmmmm.............somethings which effect whatever they touch magicly.eventualy it turns a peach into a giant peach.james gets into it and rides with some bugs across the sea from london to new york.it is animated so no stars again.it is very sad at the beginning,but picks up so some children may get worked up.tim burton is in charge again,so it is a gem.it is one of his best works.the 2evil chicks at the start are terrible and have no real place in a childrens movie.the book is excellent also.our teacher read it to us in the 5th grade.this one is great!
