James and the Giant Peach

"An extraordinary achievement."

"Despite a lightness of plot, it most beautifully captures the book's free-floating, fantastic sense of adventure and wonder."

"A technological marvel, arch and innovative with a daringly offbeat visual conception. But it's also a strenuously artful film."

"It will, I think, entertain kids for whom stop-motion animation is the last thing they're thinking about."

"The vocal cast are great fun, and the animation is smooth and vibrant. Except for a few treacly songs, this is great entertainment for all."
