Both films use stop-action animation, a technique in which three-dimensional puppets are moved ever so slightly from one frame to the next, giving the illusion of movement. Their first was” The Nightmare Before Christmas” (1993).
“James and the Giant Peach” is the second collaboration between producer Tim Burton (“ Batman”) and director Henry Selick. They're saved by seagulls, who lift the peach into the sky on silken threads from the glowworm, and the movie's odyssey begins. All are friendly-but not the fearsome mechanical steam shark that comes along and tries to gobble them all up. He discovers that the peach is inhabited by colorful insects, including a centipede, a ladybug, a spider, a grasshopper, a glowworm and an earthworm. We now follow a cartoon James, who clings to the peach for dear life a sit rolls down the hill, picking up a picket fence that winds around it circumference.
#James and the giant peach movie#
His aunts sell tickets to the attraction, but then the starving James eats a bite of the peach, along with a crocodile tongue, and that unleashes the peach's magic, as the movie cuts from live action to animation. James spills the bag, and some of the tongues hop away, but one enchants an old peach tree on the aunt's property and a giant peach starts growing. The lonely little boy draws his dreams on a paper bag and makes it into a hot-air balloon, sending it floating by candlepower.Ī mysterious old man ( Pete Postlethwaite) finds the paper bag and returns it filled with countless little green crocodile tongues. James ( Paul Terry) is immediately packed off to a miserable life with his horrid relatives, Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker, who work him like a slave, mock him and feed him fish heads-when he's lucky.
