Hard to find but worth tha search

This movie is a hard one to find must have for all you disney collector's. Big Family fun for a movie night or just to entertain the children.

Fun ride

My children really liked this story. It was a little short and needed a little more adventure but, we are still happy we purchased it.

Lightning didn't strike twice

Orphaned James escapes from his wicked aunts to embark on a transatlantic journey on a giant peach with some equally giant insects in this adaptation of the famed Roald Dahl children's book, of which I have never been a big fan. Nevertheless, I wanted to love this film. I have been an admirer of stop-motion animation, the process used to bring these insects to life, ever since I was an astonished 7-year-old watching Jason and his crew fight a horde of skeletons in Ray Harryhausen's "Jason and the Argonauts." In addition, I loved "The Nightmare before Christmas," the previous collaboration between director/animator Henry Selick and Tim Burton. Unfortunately, I just couldn't get into this one. I applaud Selick's artistry, but I'm still not charmed by the source material, Randy Newman's songs are instantly forgettable, and the characters are too grotesque, with the exception of the Old Green Grasshopper.
