wo new jack skellington was in it well i just watched again last month, other than that i havent seen it in a long long time
I thought it was a great movie.
I liked the peach tree and its a very good childrens movie.

HEY EVERYONE I HAVE READ THIS BOOK,SEEN THE MOVIE AND I HAVE EVEN WROTE ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!!
oh my gosh i love this movie, i havent seen it in forever, i love the part when he goes in the peach and it changes from live action to animation, that used to amaze me when i was younger lol
An orphaned British boy dreaming of an escape for adventure, wicked relatives, magic.... "James And The Giant Peach" is so similar to "Harry Potter" when it comes to those three things in common!
