Audience Reviews

r96sk 7/10 Jul 13, 2022
A little light on story, though that stop-motion animation is noice.

At just under 1hr 20mins, <em>'James and the Giant Peach</em> is simply a pleasant to watch flick with a sweet story and excellent animation. Miriam Margolyes and Joanna Lumley as the aunts is great casting, while the voice cast all perform well.

I like it enough, even with the ineffective singing bits. Overall, this 1996 release is, in my opinion, nothing great but nothing bad either.
