James and the Giant Peach	comment	James Henry Trotter was a young boy who lived a happy life with his parents, until they were eaten by a rhinoceros (yes, really). Afterwards, he is sent to live with his abusive aunts, Spiker and Sponge. One day, James meets a strange old man who gives him a bag of magic "crocodile tongues", which can make James's life better. James accidentally drops the bag on his way home, which causes the contents to sink into the ground. Soon, a nearby peach tree starts to bear fruit, namely, the titular giant peach, which grows to about twice the size of the tree. One night, James crawls into a hole in the peach, and discovers a group of huge, talking insects (another result of the "crocodile tongues"), who befriend James, and they all decide to travel to New York City in the peach (initially by floating the peach on the Atlantic Ocean, then by flying through attaching seagulls to it) to start their lives anew.Roald Dahl's first children's novel, published in 1961, was made into a 1996 live-action/stop-motion animated film from Disney, directed by Henry Selick and produced by Tim Burton (the respective director and producer of The Nightmare Before Christmas), with music composed by Randy Newman. Unlike the book, which is ambiguously set contemporary to its publication, the film explicitly takes place in the summer of 1948. Despite doing poorly at the box office, the film is one of the better adaptations of Dahl's work, though it can be considered... trippy.In 2013, the story was adapted into a musical, featuring all-new songs. The soundtrack can be downloaded for free here.

James and the Giant Peach / int_10dcbe05	type	Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other
James and the Giant Peach / int_10dcbe05	comment	Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: After Mr. Centipede saves Miss Spider and James from a bunch of pirates, Miss Spider accepts her love for him by kissing him on the cheek. After finding a compass, Mr. Centipede takes his task very seriously to a point where he fends off of sleep so they won't get off course like what happened earlier. As he tries so hard not to doze off, Mr. Grasshopper relieves Mr. Centipede by bringing him a chair and blanket and playing him off to sleep with his violin to make up for kicking him in the face earlier.

In the movie, he also brags about being a globetrotter, but his knowledge about navigation and geography are severely lacking. Turns out all his knowledge comes from the time when he lived between two pages of an old issue of the National Geographic magazine.

Though this may just be how James perceives it. The mechanical shark has no explained origin. In the book, the peach was instead attacked by a group of normal sharks.

To escape, the heroes lure seagulls close with Earthworm as bait (he's very unhappy about this) then catch and tie them to the peach with silk from Miss Spider and the Silkworm. With an entire flock of seagulls towing them, the peach rises out of the sea and into the clouds.

James's plan to make the peach fly is based around lassoing hundreds of passing gulls with spider-silk nooses to lift it out of the water... after which they never give the birds another thought until it's time to start cutting them loose to descend, as they apparently all continue to fly mindlessly all the way to New York, rather than, say, getting tired from the endless flight and flying down to rest on top of the peach.

James and the Giant Peach / int_21f3aa44	comment	While the arthropods in the novel weren't villainous by any means, they were considerably snarkier and more self-absorbed than their film counterparts, falling very much into the Good Is Not Nice trope. Upon first meeting James in the book, they basically say "Hey there, you're one of us now, no time for a proper explanation - now make yourself useful and remove all one hundred of the centipede's boots for him."), whereas in the film they politely greet and calm down the terrified James when he first sees them. The Centipede is probably the best example. In the book, he just laughs off whatever trouble he caused - in the film, however, he's guilt-stricken when he realizes that everyone could die because of him, and immediately risks his life to try and make things right.

With the death of his parents and the abuse from his aunts, James wanted to escape from his troubles and go to New York City.

James and the Giant Peach / int_23473ae7	comment	Adaptation Expansion: In the original book, the only major trouble in the journey is the confrontation with the Cloud People (who are not present here). In the movie, there's a mechanical shark, a trip to the North Pole with undead pirates and facing the Sky Rhinoceros. In the book, it's just coincidence that they arrive in New York. The movie, on the other hand, makes it so that James has wanted to go to New York since before his parents were killed. Just to make the peach a bit more interesting as a setpiece, it picks up a spiral of fence planks in its journey to the sea, which makes a "staircase" that allows the characters to move around the outside rather than confining them to the top of it.

This is even lampshaded in the film, with Miss Spider noting how the peach tastes "better than ladybugs" (with Mrs. Ladybug getting understandably miffed). This makes some sense, since they all just recently gained their sentience and would presumably have behaved like normal invertebrates before the crocodile tongues came along.

Somewhat played straight offscreen. James is separated from his insect family when the peach first makes it to New York, though they manage to reunite with him. As such, it was likely that while James was being helped by the New York Police and had to confront Spiker and Sponge, the bugs were searching for a way to get back to New York and looking for James as well.

James and the Giant Peach / int_3b113b7	type	Character Development
James and the Giant Peach / int_3b113b7	comment	Character Development: As opposed to the book, most of the main characters go through a small character arc. James spends much of the movie being timid and scared of his aunts and the rhino, but in the end learns to face his fears and stand up to them. The Centipede starts out as a Jerkass Miles Gloriosus who makes bold claims but is essentially useless when called upon to actually do something. Over the course of the movie, he takes a level in both Kindness and Badass, and becomes a hero in the end. Miss Spider, though affectionate towards James, is aloof and reserved with the other bugs (except with the Centipede, to whom she's openly hostile), but eventually warms up to them all and becomes friendlier. The Earthworm, at first, is incapable of seeing the positive side of anything, but while he never quite loses his fundamental pessimism, he learns how to "look at it another way." Mr. Grasshopper starts out as a class-conscious snob, and becomes... less of a class-conscious snob.

James and the Giant Peach / int_82a64c4b	comment	Adaptational Nice Guy: While the arthropods in the novel weren't villainous by any means, they were considerably snarkier and more self-absorbed than their film counterparts, falling very much into the Good Is Not Nice trope. Upon first meeting James in the book, they basically say "Hey there, you're one of us now, no time for a proper explanation - now make yourself useful and remove all one hundred of the centipede's boots for him."), whereas in the film they politely greet and calm down the terrified James when he first sees them. The Centipede is probably the best example. In the book, he just laughs off whatever trouble he caused - in the film, however, he's guilt-stricken when he realizes that everyone could die because of him, and immediately risks his life to try and make things right. Also as a very, very minor example, instead of giving James just a board to sleep on, the aunts do give him a real bed.

James and the Giant Peach / int_b77808f2	type	"Where Are They Now?" Epilogue
James and the Giant Peach / int_b77808f2	comment	"Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: Both the book and film have them, the film presenting them by way of Spinning Paper. There are a couple of differences in how the bugs end up from book to film. The Grasshopper, Earthworm and Glowworm are the same, but the rest of them are different: The Centipede, who in the book is borderline obsessed with his many boots, becomes the spokesperson for a high-class firm of boot and shoe manufacturers. In the film, where he only has one pair of boots (because most of his many legs are depicted as arms) he instead runs for Mayor of New York, promising "the Moon and then some" — with no clue provided as to whether he actually won the election or not. Miss Spider, in the book, teams up with the Silkworm (who doesn't appear in the movie) and learns to produce nylon thread and sets up a factory that makes ropes for tightrope-walkers. In the film, she opens a saucy night club in New York called, appropriately, "Spider Club." Mrs. Ladybug, in the book, marries the head of the New York City Fire Department thanks to a life-long fear that house was on fire and her children all gone. In the movie, she becomes a highly-respected obstetrician, with her headline declaring: "Dr. Ladybug Delivers 1,000th baby."

James and the Giant Peach / int_eb8ec7c8	type	Jerkass
James and the Giant Peach / int_eb8ec7c8	comment	The Centipede starts out as a Jerkass Miles Gloriosus who makes bold claims but is essentially useless when called upon to actually do something. Over the course of the movie, he takes a level in both Kindness and Badass, and becomes a hero in the end.

James and the Giant Peach / int_efdce8d0	comment	A Truce While We Gawk: Spiker and Sponge completely forget that they're angry with James when they notice that the peach is growing, and they all marvel at the sight together. At one point Spiker can even be briefly seen with her hands on James's shoulders almost affectionately. Predictably they snap back to their usual nasty behavior once they recover from the initial surprise.

James and the Giant Peach / int_f0089082	type	Early-Bird Cameo
James and the Giant Peach / int_f0089082	comment	Early-Bird Cameo: The book contains references to Vermicious Knids, Whangdoodles, Snozzwangers and Hornswogglers, all creatures later mentioned in other Roald Dahl books. There are a few more ideas in this book that would later be used in the two Charlie books. The peach smashes into and partially destroys a chocolate factory on its wild ride towards the sea (to the delight of many children, who are suddenly swimming in chocolate). The Centipede also sarcastically mentions "skyhooks" as a possibility for hauling the peach out of the ocean, an answer Willy Wonka gives Grandma Josephine in Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator when she asks what's keeping the Great Glass Elevator up.

Of course, he's fine, but she definitely tears into him for worrying her.

James and the Giant Peach / int_f9f2c33	comment	Running Gag: The centipede's pride and joy: his hundred (actually only forty-two) boots. It takes him so long to get them off by himself, that James has to help him. He will not go outdoors with his boots off. He will not swim with his boots on. His precious boots are ruined when he falls into the ocean. His boots are ruined when purple paint is poured over him. Everyone must help him to polish his boots before they arrive in New York.

James and the Giant Peach / int_fe1d3a6b	comment	Kill the Lights: The heroes inside the peach get their light from the glow-worm. When the peach makes its epic descent by rolling down a steep hill with the characters inside, something goes wrong with the glow-worm's light, making things doubly chaotic. Later, the glow-worm cannot provide light because the cloudmen have "broken her bulb" with giant hailstones.

James and the Giant Peach / int_ffad4e9f	comment	Shown Their Work: Though the story is most certainly a fantasy and takes several Acceptable Breaks from Reality, there's a lot of accurate trivia and information about the various types of bug, as the bugs are happy to tell James of various quirks and traits of their kind. The book also notes that sharks can't bite into the peach because it's akin to a dog trying to bite an oversized ball.
