Toon In Today: James & The Giant Peach

While The Nightmare Before Christmas has since become the new lullaby for every 'misunderstood' child in the world, its more settled cousin is usually overlooked. James & The Giant Peach had its own share of whimsical characters, gloomy dispositions and fine stop motion artistry that has since been forgotten while the years trolled by. Though some of the songs were a little cringe worthy and the idea of a rhino in the sky sounds more silly than terrifying, the feature itself still had a humble charm about it.



And let's not forget the mysterious allure of Ms. Spider who I think is neater than Jack Skellington these days. For under her moody personality, she is still as sweet as a butterfly... just don't tell her that.



Between you and me, the pumpkin king does make a cameo in this film. Let's keep that a secret though in case Hot Topic is looking for new merchandising ideas.
