Ultimately, though, it isn't nearly as flavorful as Roald Dahl's deliciously perverse children's book, upon which the movie is based.November 18, 2013
The fantasy is almost too inventive for its own good.November 18, 2013
It's Joanna Lumley and Miriam Margolyes as the ghastly Spiker and Sponge who steal this wonderfully pantomimic show.November 18, 2013
A truly sinister fairy story laced with bizarre characters -- both live-action and animated -- James and the Giant Peach from Walt Disney Pictures is a stunning, if not markedly macabre, adaptation of author Roald Dahl's best-selling 1961 book.November 18, 2013
This movie remembers what fun is.November 11, 2014
This film adaptation of his James and the Giant Peach, though capturing Dahl's comic brilliance, does not shy away from the tale's surreal grimness.November 18, 2013
James and the Giant Peach shines with weird, whimsical invention.November 11, 2014
A snappy, fun adaptation that entertains young viewers without speaking down to them.November 18, 2013
A brief nightmare sequence, which appears to be some sort of hallucinatory blend of collage and live action, is simply one of the greatest bits of animation I've ever seen.November 18, 2013
As a tribute to the cranky genius of Dahl, it's both fond and, in the best sense, fruitful.November 18, 2013
Another superb stop-action animated film from the same team responsible for Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas.November 11, 2014
The film is a technical tour de force, featuring a wealth of inventive design ideas. But James never develops the emotional dimension that Nightmare possessed.
