James and the Giant Peach is a 1996 fantasy adventure film based on Roald Dahl's beloved children's book. The movie follows the journey of a young orphan named James, who is forced to live with his cruel and abusive aunts after his parents are killed by a flying rhinoceros. One day, James rescues a spider from his aunts' wrath, and is given magic crocodile tongues by a mysterious old man. When James accidentally spills the tongues in the garden, a massive peach grows, and he discovers a group of human-sized bugs living inside. The bugs help James escape his bleak home life and confront his sorrowful past, as they embark on a magical odyssey across the Atlantic Ocean. The film features an all-star voice cast, including Paul Terry as James, Miriam Margolyes as Aunt Sponge, and Joanna Lumley as Aunt Spiker. With its unique blend of fantasy and adventure, James and the Giant Peach is a timeless classic for both children and adults.
