Visually striking movie. Great story. I really wish that I saw this on the big screen. Great stuff for kids and adults.

| Leonard Maltin/Plot synopsis: |
Wondrous adaptation of Roald Dahl's fantasy about a beleaguered boy, tended by two harridan aunts, who discovers a magic pathway inside a giant peach. Together with a grasshopper, a spider, a centipede, a worm, a glowworm, and a ladybug, he sets sail for the city of his dreams--N. Y. Starts in live action, then segues to cutting-edge stop-motion animation to bring Dahl's (typically) bizarre but delightful story to life. Gets better and better as it goes along, with impeccable voice characterizations and charming songs by Randy Newman. A rare movie that creates a world all its own, and an even rarer children's film that has real wit and imagination.

Good movie, good movie. I even love the songs, although the acting, visuals and over all feel are overwhelming.
