This a true classic! I used to watch this all the time when I was young. In fact, I used to reenact the scene where the aunts’ car was being squashed and run over by the giant peach; and I used a basketball to roll over one of my Hot Wheels cars. 😃
There's an after credit scene where apparently James has a penny arcade game called "Spike the Aunts." The arcade game is about the rhino (that same rhino the haunted James) striking Spiker & Sponge in the rears....and then it officially ends with a tombstone saying "The End." This whole scene basically said that somehow, the storm rhino is actually real & decided to kill it's next target, the evil aunts. And that's what to the two after they were carried away...
It's funny how the bugs react to James in the movie - apparently they weren't expecting him. In the book, they were only still on the hill because they were waiting for James to get there. Then, without explaining everything, they all stare at James and talk about how they're all starving, until they realize that James thinks they want to eat him and all of them reassure him that's not what they mean.
I question as to why James didn't have that giant peach seed planted so it could grow into a giant peach tree and grow more giant peaches for scientists to study and possibly solve world hunger?
@Ryan Ward agreed these movies were my favorites from my childhood saw this movie when I was 13 in 1997 and Nightmare before Christmas when I was 10 in 1994😊
1:53: considering how animals were treated in zoos, it’s likely that such a thing in the book would occur in the movie as well, and the storm cloud would be a metaphor to James’ trauma. In the words of Eddie Valiant: “Makes Perfect Sense”. 8:25: That, and they already have the Spider take care of making thread. Having a silkworm would be redundant for having another worm or another threading bug. 9:39: Misconceptions aside, that was a good pun.
I like to theorize that Sponge and Spiker murdered James's parents so they could have a slave and used the so-called "rhino" as a coverup and to intimidate him.
childhood classic .... and its been 2 years since my Musical Theatre Village Friends did a stage musical version of the story while i was on a European vacation
The movie should have ended with Aunts Sponge and Spiker being taken across the country, where they get scraped against pavement, pummeled by a charging stampede of bison, and set ablaze at a chemical plant, until they arrived at Los Angeles where both aunts get dumped into the La Brea Tar Pits to spend their final seconds of their lives.

@@Karuminu2 sure. My cousin’s family had a koi pond, and it needed cleaning. So her father emptied a plastic sandbox, filled it with water, and relocated the fish there. Being a lifelong animal lover (even if that life was only five years old) I asked if we could see them. We went into the garage where they were, my dad walked over to the far side where I couldn’t see and said “what happened to this one?” And he kicked a koi corpse out and in my general direction. I do not exaggerate when I say I ran halfway home. (Seeing as how they only lived a couple blocks away) Since then, I’ve been afraid of one of the most harmless, beautiful, fascinating creatures on the planet. I still love them. It’s a terrible curse. Sorry for the “book.” I don’t often get the chance to talk about myself.
I loved this movie as a kid but looking back on it a lot of it doesn't make sense especially compared to the book - is the rhino supposed to represent the ghost of the rhino that killed James' parents?

When I first saw it on Disney Channel when I was a kid, I didn't like it because I found it weird and scary, especially the James' nightmare part. I never watched this movie ever again until he was 15, and this when I overcame my fears.
While James and The Giant Peach isn’t one of my favorites of Dahl’s, I liked the movie and book. Also in the book, Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker are crushed to death when the peach rolls over them.

I guess Jack went from The Pumpkin King to The Pirate King.
It does give the theory that Jack was perhaps a pirate before he died.
@@brandonspain12345 I could actually see that making sense in a way.
At least you did a better job of reviewing James and the giant peach than the nostalgia critic
for real
“My name is James, that’s what mother calls me…” What a coincidence that my actual middle name is James.
The cloud shoots lightning at the peach James "I'm not afraid of you." The cloud "Fuck off."
I used to watch this movie on VHS when I was younger.

4:06 Fish heads, they were obviously only gonna give him the scraps.
14:18 Wrong, the scene with Earthworm came BEFORE the peach-eating scene.
Speaking of familiar faces, one of the skeleton pirates is actually Donald Duck, including the sailor hat and quacky voice.
A Henry Selick classic.

Thank you! Seriously, if Dahl's gonna use a rhino, have it where they were both either trampled or the father got impaled by its crest.

A Meat Eating Rhino 🦏 Rhinos Eat Grass
Loved this as a kid. Still holds up imo despite how damn weird it is lo
I like to theorize that Sponge and Spiker murdered James's parents so they could have a slave and used the so-called "rhino" as a coverup and to intimidate him.
Perhaps they agitated the Rhino so badly (with insults and physical attacks), to the point of going insane and not knowing of it’s actions.
i thought it was so obvious too but then the rhino turns out to be real which makes sponge and spiker much less antagonistic..
childhood classic .... and its been 2 years since my Musical Theatre Village Friends did a stage musical version of the story while i was on a European vacation

Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events much?
Sounds satisfying.
Boy, this is a movie that everyone just kinda forgot about. I've literally never heard anyone talk about it, ever.
Probably because there might be elitists listening to all the things Doug Walker said.
0:09, Hope you eventually review that? Not a lot of people really talk about that film anymore...

Can you do Dino King?
Good movie
Review Scooby-Doo and the ghoul school

Me too.
I like The movie
Or maybe Jack skellington is Jack sparrow!
The book is better.
