I don't know, I always got really freaked out over James and the Giant Peach, what with the flesh-eating mechanican shark that spit out fish heads.... o.o
I HATED that movie! I was on tour with the BYU steel band. We were in Idaho somewhere, I think, and had time to kill. On other days we played golf or went to a museum or the fishing warfs (we were all over the upper northwest). But this one day we went to a movie. James and the Giant Peach. The book remains one of my favorite books, and never have I felt more let down by a movie than then. And yes, it's terrifying.
I hated it, too. The problem was that I was a 4/5-year-old at the time, and everyone in my gymnastics class used to antagonize me by calling me, "James and the Giant Peach." I wonder what gets under my skin these days that I'll look back at and ask, "Why did that make me so upset?"

ReplyDeleteI don't really care where all the rest of the movies fall, but I 100% agree with Pinocchio as the best Disney movie of all time:
