From Tim Burton, the acclaimed director of ALICE IN WONDERLAND, comes the astounding film that captured the hearts of fans and critics all across the world. Inspired by Roald Dahl’s beloved children’s book, Burton, Denise Di Novi and Director Henry Selick combine a fascinating mix of live-action, stop-motion animation and computer-generated special effects to create a world beyond your imagination. After the daring rescue of a spider, a young boy named James gains possession of some magic crocodile tongues. When James spills them in the garden, out sprouts an enormous peach! Climbing inside, he meets an astonishing cast of characters and embarks on a magical odyssey full of thrills and adventure. Voiced by an all-star cast, including legendary actors Richard Dreyfuss, Susan Sarandon, Simon Callow and Jane Leeves, and featuring the celebrated music of Randy Newman, this classic story is delicious entertainment for the whole family!|The movie is based on the 1961 novel by Roald Dahl.|The fantasy scenes were filmed using stop-motion animation enhanced by computer-generated imagery and digital effects. Live action photography took place in a large hangar at a decommissioned naval base on Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay and at nearby Hunter’s Point. The animation was done at Skellington Productions in San Francisco, the same studio where THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS had been produced, and it used some of the same crew.|Jack Skellington, from THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS, makes a cameo appearance in the underwater sequences.|More than 50 peaches were constructed for the film, ranging from 3-inch miniatures to 20-foot jumbos.|Two of Roald Dahl’s granddaughters appear briefly as extras in the film.
