JULY 30: JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH by Henry Selick. 1996. 79 min.

Inspired by Roald Dahl's beloved children's book, a young boy named James gains possession of some magic crocodile tongues after the daring rescue of a spider from his cruel aunts. When he accidentally spills them in the garden, out sprouts an enormous peach. Inside he finds a group of human-sized bugs who help him escape his bleak home life and confront his sorrowful past in the midst of a magical odyssey.
