Hey, Look, This Gift Horse Has A Cavity....
Bit disappointing, really. What with so much talent coming into this project from the standpoint of writers, filmmakers, and the voices of some truly cool people, I guess I expected too much. The Nightmare Before Christmas and the printed version of James and the Giant Peach both felt magical to me, and this movie was mostly a big sticky mess in soggy peach form. Sigh. I hate letdowns. Talking about them makes me sound all whiny. Am I being whiny? I dunno. What went wrong here? A lot. This animated behemoth of a production should have been darker in tone and content, and the brooding elements in the Roald Dahl book should not have been toned down just to strike out for a larger audience---which is I think what happened. Well, three stars isn't a total slam, it just means things could've been better. (Particularly those songs!!!)

This is a really cute movie! My granddaughters really enjoyed it. A good clean movie.

Outstanding, creative movie.
Had always toyed with seeing this flick, so glad my family did. Not only creative story and model animation, but excellent and witty songs. Imaginative tale of a lonely boy transformed to have a fantasy voyage with an eclectic bunch of insects, each portraying a different "character". You need to see this movie. One caution, a few parts may be a bit scary for children under 6.

Childhood memory
I remembered this movie from when I was a kid and deciced to hunt it down. I'm glad I did. It's not the same as when I was a kid but still a pretty good movie. I work in a learning center and the afterschool kids love it too. Good stuff.

GREAT SONGS AND VISUALS MAKE THIS TIM BURTONS BEST ANIMATED FILM
I love this movie! The visual may not be a macabre as Nightmare Before Christmas or Corpse's Bride, but the joyful songs by Randy Newman and the story pacing make this a big winner! This is a great film for the family,but there are some scary moments for the younger kids so beware! The DVD transfer is very good.
