#James and the giant peach fish heads movie#

The closest thing James has to a friend is a spider that spins a web in his window one day, a friend he soon loses when he has to get her out of the house and yard to save her from his insect-hating aunts. James is a happy child with a loving family, until the day his parents are devoured by an escaped rhinoceros (a detail taken directly from the original tale.) The newly orphaned James is sent to live with his two horrible aunts Spiker and Sponge, who feed him fish heads, treat him as their personal slave, and never let him play with other children.

Like the book, the movie tells the story of a young boy named James Henry Trotter. The answer is вЂњquite well,вЂќ though it does have a weakness almost as big as the titular peach which may have been what caused the film to fall into obscurity. I remembered seeing the movie in theaters, but not since, and looked forward to seeing how the film held up. Unlike its predecessor, the film was not a financial success and has largely been forgotten since its release. Released three years after the groundbreaking Nightmare Before Christmas, James and the Giant Peach was director Henry SelickвЂ™s second film.
