Streaming James and the Giant Peach Online.
Movie Title: James and the Giant Peach James and the Giant Peach is available for streaming or downloading. |
Roald Dahl’s modern classic tells the story of James, an orphan who is treated cruelly by his aunts, until one day a benevolent stranger gives him some magical crocodile tongues — and then marvelous things begin to happen! With new friends, James discovers that he is resourceful and loyal. He learns to believe in himself and trust in others.
This terrific story is given the treatment it deserves by director Henry Selick and producer Tim Burton (who also made Nightmare Before Christmas together). Stop-motion, live action and special effects combine to bring this incredible story to life, and the effort is dazzling, even though the work is almost a decade old.
The dvd features are marginal at best. While it’s nice to have the option of DTS or Dolby Digital sound, the other features do not merit calling this a special edition. You can hear the dialogue in English, French or Spanish, and subtitling is available in Spanish or for the hearing impaired. There is also a 4-1/2 minute featurette, a trailer and a Randy Newman music video. Still photos are categorized as Concept Art (9), Puppets (9), Behind-the-Scenes (36) or Live Action (18), and they can be seen as thumbprints or enlarged. There are trailers for NBX, Toy Story 2 and Lady and the Tramp 2. Menus are a bit clunky.
Great film. Mediocre DVD edition.
This is a wonderful & amazing adaptation of Ronald Dahl’s classic book. A definite addition to anyone’s dvd collection. the story as you many know, tells of James and how his wish to get away from his evil aunts comes true in the form of a giant peach. James floats away to NYC in a giant peach being carried by a flock of seagulls and lots of sticky spider web. He learns to stick up for himself… that he really can make a difference, that he indeed counts!
The voice talent is great and the story ties up nicely at the end. Keep in mind, this Ronald Dahl, and anything can happen! =)
As for the Special Edition features.. There isn’t much here. A still-frame gallery, a short making-of piece, trailers for the movie, and “sneak peaks” (more trailers) for other movies that are already out on DVD. I was hoping they would have at least included a director’s commentary (which is most often ’standard’ with the Special Edition designation) but no such luck. It is still worth owning of course, but just don’t expect much in the way of Extras. This film is definitely worth the repeated viewings!! Go now & get it!
