Synopsis

Based on Roald Dahl's book by the same name, James Henry Trotter once had a happy life with Craig and Rachel Trotter, but his happy life is taken away from him after his parents are killed by a rhino from the sky. James is forced to live with his abusive aunts Spiker and Sponge, his evil aunts force their nephew to do hard menial labor. Everything changes for James when he saves a spider from getting killed by his aunts and a magic man offers James to give him a better life and he gives him some magical crocodile tongues. James discovers the giant peach is inhabited by friendly insects, who also want to escape Spiker and Sponge. James and his new insect friends decide to make their dream of going to New York come true by attaching a bunch of seagulls to the peach and fly to the big city.
