The strange world of Roald Dahl's book is perfectly rendered using the painstaking craft of stop-motion animation. Young orphan James (whose parents were eaten by a rhinoceros) escapes from his hated aunts in a huge magic peach that is the home to a group of human-sized and eccentric creatures - including a centipede and a glow-worm. This extraordinary turn of events then inspires an even more remarkable adventure that takes the giant fruit on an epic trip across the Atlantic Ocean.
