Roald Dahl's classic children's fantasy receives an extraordinary adaptation from Tim Burton and Henry Selick, the groundbreaking filmmakers of "The Nightmare Before Christmas". With a dazzling combination of live-action and state-of-the-art stop motion animation, the film tells the story of a nine year old orphan named James. When the boy climbs into a giant magic peach, he leaves behind his miserable life with his mean aunts and finds a new home filled with magical friends. Along with the giant centipede, sexy spider and his other new mates, James and the giant peach roll out of his backyard and into the adventure of a lifetime.
