James and the giant peach submitted by VanCancue on August 15, 2020, 2:33pm Just like the book except for the cloud people. I like how the peach was stuck on the empire state building.

James and the Giant Peach submitted by SBNB on July 23, 2021, 12:49pm This movie is kind of weird, and I didn't really like any of the characters. But it still moved along quickly enough, and my 7 year old liked it. Maybe I need to read the book to appreciate the movie more.
