Family Flicks: James and the Giant Peach

After his parents were killed by a flying rhinoceros, James lives a dreary life with his overbearing aunts until some magic crocodile tongues manifest the means of his escape: a giant peach. Producer Tim Burton and director Henry Selick deliver a wild and visually arresting stop-motion adaptation of Roald Dahl’s classic novel.
