      A decent musical cartoon

      James, who listened to James for a long time last year, finally found the source. Of course, they also found a large piece of cheerful music behind eating peaches. They were included in Disney's 60th anniversary and released a set of five CDs. Music album.

      Watching this movie, or a cartoon or a musical, there is not much suspense, but it is an old-fashioned adventure story and a fairy-tale ending. The bad guys are punished and the good guys live happily. However, old-fashioned stories...

      Hope you find your insect friend too

      Someone was involved in the wave of British immigrants from the United States at that time. Such a cold political opinion, placed in this imaginary fairy tale of warmth, would have no meaning at all. Although the original author's intention may be somewhat ironic, I believe it is definitely not what he wants to bring to the children.

      It will be those bugs that can sing and dance, the peach that was raised across the sea by Hyola, or the rhino that resembles a storm. These seemingly...

    Evaluation action

    "James and the Giant Peach" is a Gothic-style animated film, and to some extent it has become the childhood autobiography of producer Tim Burton. Although the film is not directed by Bolton, the Gothic castle, the weird shapes of the aunts and insects, and the overall dark tone are all in Gothic style, all with a deep "Boton" mark. The film is composed of part of the real person and most of the animation structure, and the character...
