This is a 27" x 40" US one-sheet for the 1996 Henry Selick
film James and the Giant Peach based on the book by Roald Dahl
with screenplay by Kasey Kirkpatrick, Jonathan Roberts and Steve Bloom
and starring Paul Terry as the voice of James and Peter Postlethwaite
as narrator.. Plot summary: James Henry Trotter was living happily
with his parents by the sea in England and looking forward to a trip
with them to New York City to see the Empire State Building, but that
dream ended when an angry rhinocerous from the sky killed his parents
and James was forced to move in with his two abusive aunts, Spiker
[Joanna Lumley] and Sponge [Miriam Margolyes]. One day when James is
saving a spider from being crushed by his aunts, a man [Peter
Postlethwaite] gives him a bag of mysterious jumping green flourescent
crocodile tongues, tells him these magic tongues will improve his life
because he is not meant to be miserable, then disappears. James
stumbles and lets the tongues scatter into the ground, which causes a
peach in an old tree to grow to a gigantic size. His aunts start
selling tickets to see it. James crawls inside the peach through a
hole he makes and becomes friends with some very large talking insects
living inside. When they hear the aunts looking for James one of
them, Mr. Centipede [Richard Dreyfuss], chews off the stem connecting
the peach to the tree causing it to roll into the ocean and start
floating like a boat. James and the insects decide to navigate in the
peach to New York City. Spiker and Sponge follow them there but are
not able to disrupt James's happy new life. James and his friends
make themselves a townhouse in Central Park from the pit of the peach
after the children of New York have eaten the rest of it.
