Pros: A nice change for kids suffering cartoon overload. Cons: Little dark, a few weak moments. Possibly too dark for extra sensitive little guys.
Just when I thought it was safe to review Disney's James and the Giant Peach purely from a child's stand-point, I come across a review of this quirky little movie that makes a good argument for Marxist tones that are hard to deny. Wish I could say...
Pros: unique look in animated and live-action segments Cons: Weak performances, forgettable songs, nothing to keep an adult's attention.
Based on the popular, yet sometimes controversial children's book by James Dahl, we follow "James" (Paul Terry) from his menial life with his mean aunts, the oddly named "Spiker" (Joanna Lumley) and her sister "Sponge" (Miriam Margoyles, who lends her ...
Pros: great claymation Cons: ... not fun for adults, at least immature ones with short attention spans like me.
"James and the Giant Peach", director Henry Selick’s 1996 adaptation of the Roald Dahl children’s book holds a special place in my heart. Or at least, it should. Perhaps a little back-story would help.
Pros: brilliant animation and writing, captivating storyline Cons: none
I'm not a huge fan of Jim Burton, so I was not sure what to make of it when my three year old son begged to get this movie. I didn't think his attention span would work with this type of animation, but in the end, he won out. I remembered reading the...
Pros: Great animation and special effects Cons: none
Maybe because this is a Disney film that my kids love it, or maybe because it just is really pretty darn good. What an imagination when it comes to creating films with special effects to keep children entertained. This film is no exception to Disney's...
Pros: story, animation Cons: can't read the book anymore without thinking of the movie
Tim Burton and Henry Selick weave, in James, a marvelous animated adaptation of Dahl's story of an idealistic, genuine, and compassionate young protagonist whose loneliness, sense of loss, and lack of identity and self-esteem places him in a...
Pros: The animation and live-action is mixed together very well,Very enchanting,Something for the whole family. Cons: I have not seen any.
James and the Giant Peach is a wonderful movie for all ages. This movie brought out some of the kid in me,even though I have a lot of kid in me already.
James and the Giant Peach is very cute,it is a mix of animation and live-action and they...
Pros: Terrific animation, quirky humor Cons: A little too childish at times (I know, it's a kid's movie, but still...)
Roald Dahl, the children’s author who gave the world Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, wrote the equally surreal and entertaining book James and the Giant Peach. Twenty-five years after Gene Wilder played Willy Wonka for the Chocolate Factory movie...
Pros: A classic Children's book gets the full Disney treatment, with the stop-motion puppets of A Nightmare Before Christmas. Cons: Perhaps a tad formulaic; Randy Newman songs are pretty lousy.
Done badly, Roald Dahl's children's classic James and the Giant Peach could have been the pits. Yet, with Tim Burton's innate weirdness and stop-motion puppetry capturing Dahl's eclectic mood and Disney's do-no-wrong production at the helm, the film is...
Pros: Icky, entomological fun/Merry, melodious tunes/Good, scary antagonists Cons: Empire State Building background?
Nope. This is not your typical Disney movie; however, it is a typical Roald Dahl and Tim Burton movie. Dahl, besides CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY (a.k.a. WILLY WONKA) wrote some of the best episodes of ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS. Remember the...
I do not remember a whole lot about this movie, ive only read the book, and that was wheni was in 4th grade or so but i do remember that i just loved it. I got to use my imagintation a lot with this story and i think every child needs to read, or see,...
Pros: Good Wholesome Movie, Good for all Ages...... Cons: none
Wonderful, Is what comes to mind when I think about this movie. My children and I just loved it from the moment it started to the second it ended. I enjoyed watching this little boy overcome the power that his two aunts had on him and he had a wonderful...
Pros: There's a happy ending. Cons: They break out into song at the most random intervals.
I loved the book...read it often as a child and still enjoy it now that I'm older. In fact, I recently purchased a copy so that I could read it to my little nephew.
So when the movie came out, I was really psyched. Good thing I didn't take...
Pros: Great Animation and Story Line Cons: Leaves you wanting more
My son and I finally watched this movie that my parents raved about. I was finally getting to sit down with my son and watch the first part of the animated movie. This movie is very well written with the aspect of having a young audience to entertain...
After seeing a "Nightmare Before Christmas," I was very intrigued by Tim Burton's style of animation. It wasn't long before I found the opportunity to view "James and the Giant Peach." As usual, I was impressed. The colors are...
