James and the Giant Peach: Difference between revisions

(Spelling grammar)
Line 8:
The book was made into a 1996 live-action/stop-motion animated film from Disney, directed by Henry Selick (who also directed ''[[The Nightmare Before Christmas]]''), and with songs written by Randy Newman. Despite doing poorly at the box office, and getting lukewarm reviews upon release, it has since become a cult-classic and is one of the better adaptations of Dahl's work, though it can be considered... trippy.
