A Delightful Film for the Family
28 May 2007
James' happy life at the English seaside is rudely ended when his parents are killed by a rhinoceros and he goes to live with his two horrid aunts. Daringly saving the life of a spider he comes into possession of magic boiled crocodile tongues, after which an enormous peach starts to grow in the garden. Venturing inside he meets not only the spider but a number of new friends including a ladybug and a centipede who help him with his plan to try and get to New York.

This film is truly delightful for the whole family. It's sweet, funny, and has a great musical score. I liked the stop-motion animation, which was fantastic in this film. It really had a lot of imagination to it, too.

There are even some great action scenes, although some might scare little children. The characters are lovable in the film. This isn't a masterpiece, but it sure is just a film to watch with the family if you have nothing else better to do.
