James and the Giant Peach

After the dead of his parents caused by a rhinoceros, James, an orphan, finds himself living with his two horrible aunts. But all changes thanks to the enchanted crocodile tongues which James receives from a weird old man. He accidentally drops the bag at the foot of an old tree, and promptly a peach begins to grow, and grow, and grow! It is the beginning of an incredible adventure for James and the friends he’s about to meet.

This exquisite blend of animation and digital images is produced by Tim Burton and translates brilliantly the tale of Roald Dahl on the big screen. He already experimented with the method of “stop motion” - an animation technique in which an object is shot image by image, and then moved after each shot to create the illusion of movement - The Nightmare Before Christmas result is startling!
