James and the Giant Peach
James and the Giant Peach was directed by Henry Selick, who also directed the excellent The Nightmare Before Christmas. Only the former is based on the book by Roald Dahl, and the latter on was written for the screen by Tim Burton. Unfortunately, James and the Giant Peach just doesn't have anything special in it.
The claymation is quite good, and the audio production was very well done. But the songs were kind of empty and there wasn't a whole lot of appeal. I'm sure younger kids would probably enjoy its style more than I did. My favorite character is Ms. Spider, and I did appreciate the nods towards the previous film, The Nightmare Before Christmas.
