...[The film] brings stop-motion to a new plateau....All of the creatures, especially the colorful insects that share James' journey, are brought to vivid life...
Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: 3/4 --
The film is a technical tour de force, featuring a wealth of inventive design ideas. But James never develops the emotional dimension that Nightmare possessed.

New York Daily News
Dahl himself thought his book would be impossible to translate into film, and for all the ingenuity that's been thrown at the screen, perhaps he was right. This overgrown peach never ripens.

Newsweek
A brief nightmare sequence, which appears to be some sort of hallucinatory blend of collage and live action, is simply one of the greatest bits of animation I've ever seen.

...Finally a fun-house whirl that's not just for the kids....It's bliss...
Rolling Stone
Rating: 3.5/4 --
James and the Giant Peach shines with weird, whimsical invention.

Philadelphia Inquirer
As a tribute to the cranky genius of Dahl, it's both fond and, in the best sense, fruitful.

Product Description:
After James's parents are killed by a rogue rhinoceros, he is forced to live with his nasty aunts far from any kind of fun. But when a gigantic peach begins growing in the yard and James befriends the large insects who live inside, he sees a way to escape from his wicked aunts to New York City. JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH is a magical musical adventure based on the classic children's book by Roald Dahl, featuring an all-star cast as the voices of the assorted insects.
