cliftonofun Review of James and the Giant Peach

James and the Giant Peach (1996)

Captures Roald Dahl pretty well (despite the musical numbers)

[7/10 · 27 December 2017]

I could have lived without the musical numbers, and the movie did not pull me in the way I hoped it would. BUT it probably captured the bizarre genius storytelling of Roald Dahl better than any other adaptation*, even down to the uneven plot and pacing.

*Except Fantastic Mr Fox which is a whole different category.
