| Roald Dahl's modern classic for children becomes a delightful combination of live action and stop-motion animation by the team that made The Nightmare Before Christmas: director Henry Selick and producers Tim Burton Batman and Denise Di Novi. The story concerns young James played for real and through voice-overs by Paul Terry, who is orphaned and left in the charge of two cruel aunts Miriam Margolyes, Joanna Lumley. Rescued by a mysterious fellow Pete Postlethwaite, James ends up inside a giant peach, drifting over the Atlantic Ocean in the company of a gentleman grasshopper voiced by Simon Callow, a fast-talking centipede Richard Dreyfuss, an anxious earthworm David Thewlis, a matronly ladybug Jane Leeves, and a sexy spider Susan Sarandon. The collection of actors and their creepy-crawly alter egos are a delight, especially when some of the song-and-dance numbers tunes are written by Randy Newman get everyone going. --Tom Keogh | | Take a bite out of Disney's delicious Special Edition of JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH and celebrate the 40th anniversary of the popular children's book by Roald Dahl that inspired this imaginative film. This amazing mix of live-action, stop-motion animation and computer-generated special effects includes bonus materials never before available. When young James spills some magic crocodile tongues, a giant peach grows as huge as a house. Climbing inside, he embarks on a thrilling and magical odyssey that only the creative team from TIM BURTON'S THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS could bring you. Along the way you'll discover the famous star voices of Richard Dreyfuss and Susan Sarandon, Jane Leeves FRASIER, and Simon Callow SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE, plus the inspired music of Randy Newman. Enjoy -- it's a peach of a journey! |
