    My first non-food service job when I moved to Portland in 2005 was a Production Assistant (cataloging storyboards, not making art!) on the movie Coraline. My boss had worked on James and the Giant Peach, and when I told her that it’s one of my favorite movies, she just friggin GAVE me this-- 1/2

    There is one movie that I have watched over 30x as a child and as an adult. I have tried my best to decipher what was going on from beginning to end in that movie, but I have never understood it, and I mean NEVER. James and the Giant Peach. Roald Dahl HAD to be on hair own.

    Last night, I watched James and the Giant Peach for the first time after first seeing it during elementary school/2nd or 3rd grade, I don’t know. It’s definitely not Nightmare Before Christmas levels good, but it’s a very enjoyable and light-hearted Roald Dahl film.

    James and the Giant Peach is Tim Burton/Henry Selick's second Disney film and based off of Roald Dahl's book, and a mix of live-action and stop-motion animation with James, an English boy with abusive aunts who befriends bugs inside a magic giant peach en route to New York. A charming yet odd film.

    I watched James and the Giant Peach with the 8yo last night and that movie has some real questionable morality. The worm is obviously traumatized from being used as bait and wants his companions to understand how awful an experience that was and James tells him to swallow his emotions.
