James and the Giant Peach

[Sea Gulls Cawing] [Narrator] This is James Henry Trotter. He lived with his mother and father in a cozy little house by the sea. - Hey, I 've got ya! - [ Giggling ] Happy birthday, darling. Now, quickly, blow them out before the wind does. Make a wish first. [Narrator] It was a wonderful life. Theyhad each other, and theyhad their dreams. Look! That cloud looks like a camel. And that one over there looks like a train engine. Can you see the tallest building in the world?. I can't find it. Try looking at it anotherway. [James] Isee it! That's wherewe're going-- on the great ship thatwill take us across the ocean, and we'll go right to the top ofthat building. The three ofus... on top oftheworld. Are there any kids there like me?. Hundreds ofthem. It's a wonderful place,James. A citywhere dreams come true. [Narrator] Then one day, a terrible thing happened. [ Thundering] An angry rhinoceros appeared out ofnowhere... and gobbled up his poor mother and father. Their troubles-- ifthey had any at all-- were over in   seconds flat. [ Roari ng ] - ButJames's troubles werejust beginning, - [ Gaspi ng ] for now he lives here with Aunt Sponge... Get up, you lazy little bug! - andAunt Spiker. - You've already wasted four minutes of daylight. Look at him, lollygagging in dreamland, when there's so much work to do. [Aunt Sponge ] Weeds to pull, wood to chop. [ Together ] Work, work, work, work, work! Eww. Wouldn't want one of those nesting in your knickers. I look and smell-- [ Sniffs ] I do declare-- as lovely as a rose. Just feastyour eyes upon my face. Observe my shapely nose. Beholdmyheavenly, silkylocks. And If I take off both my socks, you'll see my dainty toes. [ Giggles ] But don't forget, my dearest Sponge, how much your tummy shows! - [ Snickering ] - [ Flustered Gasping ] You lazybug! Who toldyou to stop working? I finished the wood. A travel book?. How dare you even dream ofleaving?. This is the only home you'll ever have. No one else would tolerate a worthless little nothing likeyou. Where did you get this?. Where?. Father gave it to me. He said we're to go there one day. Stupid, foolish man! [Aunt Sponge]Foolish man, always dreaming. That's what got him killed. - And your mother. - Had his head in the clouds... instead of looking where he was going. [ Aunt Spiker ] He never even saw that rhino coming. That rhino! And the beast will getyou too ifyou don't behave. Now get these stupid dreams out ofyour head... [Together] and get back towork! [Wind Gusting ] -[Man Singing On Radio] - Careful, Spongy. Wouldn'twant to ruin that girlish figure. Oh, shut up! - Yes?. - I finished all ofthe chores. What a coincidence! We finished all the dinner. Oh, Sponge, you're such a tease. There's something special waiting foryou in the oven. [Chuckling] - [Insect Buzzing] - [ Disgusted Grunt ] [ Gulps ] Oh, do let me guess: They're not good enough for him. What doyou think this is, Buckingham Palace?. - Yuck! - [Buzzing Continues] -[Aunt Sponge] Get out ofoursight! - Go on! Go on! [ Burps ] Hello, there. Where did you come from?. You know, you probably shouldn't build yourweb up here in the window. Spiker and Sponge might seeyou, and they hate spiders. I'll beyourfriend, though. ~ My name is James ~ ~That's what Mother called me ~ ~ My name is James ~ ~So it's always been ~ ~Sometimes I forget ~ ~When I'm lonely or afraid ~ ~ And I'll go inside my head ~ ~ And lookforJames ~ Here's something I've never shown anyone. ~There's a city that I dreamed of~ ~Veryfarfrom here ~ ~Very, veryfar awayfrom here ~ ~Veryfar away ~ ~There are people in the city ~ ~ And they're kind to me ~ ~ But it's very, veryfar away you know ~ ~Veryfar ~ ~They'll say,James ~ ~James,James ~ ~ How areya ~ ~ Isn'ta lovelyday~ ~James,James,James ~ ~We're so glad you came here ~ ~Wherewe are ~ ~ From sovery, very veryfar ~ ~ My name is James ~ ~James ~ ~James Good night.

What wouldyou say ifl were to tellyou... that the answer to all your troubles is right here... - inside this little bag?. - Hey, that's my-- Ofcourse it is! Go on,James. Have a look. There's more magic in them things than in all the rest ofthe world put together. But... what are they?. - Crocodile tongues. - Tongues?. One thousand long, slimy crocodile tongues, boiledin the skull ofa dead witch for   days and    nights. Add the fingers of a young monkey, the gizzard of a pig, the beak of a parrot and three spoonfuls of sugar. Stew for a week, and then let the moon... - [ Gasps ] - do the rest. Have 'em, and marvelous things will happen; things even you never dreamt of. - Like what?. - Well, like... you'll neverbe miserable again. Andyou are miserable, aren'tyou,James? You weren't meant to be, you know? And that place you're dreaming of-- I t's not as far away as you think. [James ] New York City! And it'll be that much closer once you take the first step. But how?. This doesn't make any sense. Not up here it doesn't. The answers are in here, and the magic is in here. So,James, what'll it be?. Now listen to me,James. Don't let them get away, because ifthey do... they'll work theirmagic on whoever or whatever theymeet first. Understand? - [ Wind Blasting ] - Good. [Aunt Spiker] What's going on out here? - Uuh! Oh!

Now, how dowe get there?. - I'll get us there. - You?. Sure! I've sailed all the five seas: from the sun-drenched wreaths of Bora Bora... to the icy shores ofTripoli. - Oh! - Commodore Centipede, - [ Yawns ] - they used to call me. - Seven. - Huh?. There are seven seas. And Tripoli is in the subtropics... Commodore. - Trim the sails! - There are no sails. - Stoke the engines! - There are no engines. I can't work with this miserable crew. Great! We're stuck here until we shrivel up and die. - Highly improbable. - That's a relief. - We're far more likelyto drown. - [ Gasps ] - [Ladybug] Oh, no! - [ Cawing ] I know! We could-- No, it's a stupid idea. - Compared towhat?. - Hey! Well, we could fly out. - Mm-mm. - He's right. It's stupid. - [ Grunting ] - How would you do it,James?. With the sea gulls. But we'll need string. Oh, well, I'll just go to the stationer's and pick up some paper clips while I'm at it! I have string. Miles ofstring. Andwe'llneedbait; birdbait. Bird bait?.

In the ocean?. Uh, scientifically impossible. I hear something too. It's a school ofTuna. They're being sucked into some sort ofmachine. - What doyou mean?. - Take a look. [ Shrieking ] [James] It's a giantshark! [ Alarm Blaring ] - It seems to have spotted us! - [ Gasps ] What do we do?. What do we do?. The sea gulls! It's our only chance. It would take the whole flock and then some. We'll never do it in time. We'll use Miss Spider's web for a net. Hurry! Throw it here, dearie! Wiggle, Mr. Earthworm! Our lives depend on it! - I can't! I'm all wiggled out! - Aw! [ Both Grunting ] - Here, let me helpyou. - [ Frightened Gasping ] - [ Screaming ] - Come and get it! Getyourfresh, hotwienie! - Yaaah! Uugh! - Come on, baby!

Everybug on boarddisplayed extraordinary courage. Why, did you see Miss Ladybug risk life and wing... - to bash those brutes on the snoot?. - Ooh! Well, theywere being very rude. I can't abide rudeness. We are all forgetting something. Everything we did was part ofthe brilliant plan ofJames. It really did work, didn't it?. Isay, three cheers forJames! - Hip-hip! - Hooray! - Hip-hip! - Hooray! - Hip-hip! - Hooray! New York... here... we... co-ome! - Ooh-ooh! - Whoeveryou are, keep away from me! Keep away! - Earthworm! It's me! - Wha-Wha-Wha-- Oh,James. Oh, thank goodness. - You mustn't frighten yourself like this all the time. - Why not?. You'll makeyourselfsick. When I had a problem, my mum and dad would tell me to lookat it anotherway. How?. First I was bird bait, then I was shark bait. I suppose. Or, you could say you gave us wings to fly, and defeated a giant shark single-handedly. No-handedly. Exactly. You're a hero. I am?. I'm... WonderWorm! You are! Want... food. Food. [ Groaning ] Yousureyou know where we're going? I don't see howyou can navigate without a compass. - [ Sighing ] - [Cork Popping] Huh?. It's very hot up here. I'm roasted. [ Shuddering ] Huh?. [ Screeching To Clucking ] [ Giggling ] - Unhand that bird! - Aah-aah! But I'm dyin' ofhunger! Oh, perhaps I have a bit ofsoda bread in here somewhere. - Food?. - It's not much, but it's-- - Not so fast! - Hey! - You?. I need this food. I have a much higher metabolism. - Bite me! - What?. - Haveyou two gone mad?. [Centipede] Let go ofit, Gramps! Give it! Give it to me! - Let go of my coat! - Give it to me! - Ow! My lower thorax! - I'll rip you apart! - I tell you, it's mine! - Give... it... back! [ Growling, Together] Now lookwhatyou've done! We're going to starve. Waste away. And not quickly. Oh, no, that wouldbe the easy way out. We'll linger. - [ Grunting, Groaning ] - Slowly. Miserably. Painfully. - Nobody's going to starve. - Eh?. Don't you see?. We have enough food here for five voyages. - Food?. Where?. What are you talkin' about?. - Is there really food?. - Ourwhole ship is made offood! - Oh, such a clever little boy. - Takes after me. - Afteryou there is nothing left to take. - It's delectable. Mmm-mmm! - Betterthan aphids. Mm, betterthan ladybugs. - What?. - Excuse. It's not dirt... but it's not bad. Not bad?.

I prefer to be alone. I was alone for a long time once. I think it's much nicer to have friends, don'tyou? I would not know. Theywould beyour friends too. The others, I mean, ifyou'd just let them. No, it is in their nature to have fear ofme. This I cannot change. You'revery kind to me. Maybe this is because you are kind to me first. - You were the spider in mywindow. - Mm-hmm. You were my first friend. I mean, since I went to live with my aunts. They hated me! Shh. Do not think ofthem now. Butwhat iftheyfind us? What ifwe don't make it to NewYork? I'll die ifl have to go backto theway I was! They can't make me. Nobody can makeyou do anything,James, ifyou do not let them. You are a brave boy. Now to sleep. You have had a very "tired-making" day. [ Blows ] [Yawns ] - [Rumbling] - [ Gasps ] [ CarSqueaking, Engine Rattling ] Look, the little maggot's stuffing his facewith our peach! - Get him, Sponge! - [ Screams ] You can't crawl away from us! [ Smoke Hissing ] [Aunts Chanting] The rhino will getyou. The rhino will getyou. The rhino will getyou. The rhino will getyou. The rhino will getyou. The rhino will getyou. The rhino will getyou. [ Groaning ] [ Gasping ] [ Shivering ] - [ Wind Howling ] - Whoa. [ Shivering ] - [ Birds Crying ] - [ Grasshopper] This is an outrage! You are a disgrace toyourphylum, class, order, genus andspecies! - Say it in English! - You, sir, are an ass! Where are we? What's going on? - I found this dime-store timmy asleep at the helm. - [ Gasps ] - Now we're lost. - We are not lost! - Then where are we? - Somewhere north, or possiblyvery, very far south. What's your latitude? What's your longitude? Hey, hey, hey! That's personal, bub. You said you could navigate! - You said you traveled the world. - You said you'd been to Bora Bora. Well, not Bora Bora, per se, uh-- What about the shores ofTripoli? Did I say "Tripoli"? [ Chuckles ] I meant the Halls of Montezuma. - That's whatyou said. - Never have I heard such mendacity! - Charlatan! - Wait! Ifhe says he's seen the world, then he's seen the world. Right, Mr. Centipede? - Right? - Well... I did used to live between two pages ofa National Geographic. Huh? - [ Gasps ] - Veryinformative magazine, National Geographic. Wonderful pictures. You incompetent, blithering nitwit! All right, hoppy! Them's fightin' words. Put 'em up! Put 'em up! Come on! Gimmeyour best shot. [ Groans ] Whoa. Good shot. [ Spits ] Did you seewhat he did to me? Hmph! Serves ya right. What dowe do now? Which way dowe go? Oh, it's simple, really. All we need to do is determine our coordinates, then use triangulation to chart a direct route to NewYork. - Then there's hope. - Don't be ridiculous. There's no hope at all! We don't have a compass. We'll never reach New York. We're gonna be stuck here forever. We're gonna be frozen like living statues. - Dead living statues. - [ Gasps ] [Spider] No dark hidingplaces. [Ladybug] No cozyleafin the park. - [ Crying ] - [James ] No city where dreams come true. Don't ships have compasses? No doubt. But to brave those icy waters... would mean certain death. - [ Gulps ] - Onlya fool would do it. Uh-huh. Geronimo! - What? What was that? - The Centipede jumped in! - [ Gasps ] - Good heavens! He's committed pesticide. Oh, this is all my doing. Don't take all the credit. I helped too. - I have to go after him! - Not on your life.

[ Chuckles ] Little angel. - So kindofyou to look after ourlittle lost lamb. - Oh. - Who are you? - We are the boy's legal guardians. We've missed him so much. So we'lljust take him home now. And the peach, of course. We're taking that as well. Well, wait a minute. Back up. You mean to tell me that this thing is a peach? - It's not a peach. It's our peach. - Our peach. - Show him, Spongy. - Yes. [ Panting ] [ Gasps ] - Looks like it's theirpeach all right. - Yes! - Yes. We're very proud of it. - We're going to be in the record books. It's not their peach. The old man gave the green things to me. - That's what made it grow. - How dareyou disagree with us! Patience, sister. Remember his... condition. - His condition? - He's a chronic liar. Sad, really. He needs his treatment. Well, that's whywe're here; to bring him home. So, you come here with us, hey, lovey! I'm not the one who's lying. They are! As you can see, Officer, it is urgent thatyou release him to us immediately. Let the boy speak! [ Crowd Murmuring Agreement ] All right, all right, all right! Let's get to the bottom ofthis! This thing is a peach. Now, all right. I'll buythat. Now, does somebodywanna tell me how it got here? We attached it to a hundred sea gulls. Sea gulls? [ Laughing ] That's what happened! Me and Miss Spider and the Centipede and the Old Green Grasshopper. - [CrowdLaughing] - I think he's gone mad. [Laughing] This is all something he dreamed up. Well, maybe it started that way, as a dream, but doesn't everything? Those buildings, these lights, this whole city! Somebody had to dream about it first, and maybe that's what I did. I dreamedabout coming here, but then I didit! - The poor boy needs his medicine. - Yes. - So we'll just take him. - And the peach. Back to our cozy little house on the hill. - Come along. You're going home with us. - No, I'm not. - [ Skin Cracking ] - What did you say? I said... no... I'm... not! I hate that house and that cold room and how I was always hungry. All right, that's enough! - And how you beat me! - [ Gasps ] He's lying! - [ Crowd Gasping ] - And told me I was nothing! - Shut up! - Shut up! Shut up! No, not this time! [ Panting ] I flew the giant peach across the ocean. I landed on top of the tallest building in theworld. I made it! I'm not the one who's nothing. You are! AndI'm nevergoingback withyou! Not me andnot thepeach. How dareyou speak to us this way. - [ Aunts ] Aaah! - [Crowd Gasping] [ Screaming ] [Whistle Blowing] [ Grasshopper] James! Up here.

" Big Bugs In The Big Apple." In big bold print: " Little Lindy Flies Giant Peach." " Half-Pint Hero And His Peach Pit Pals." [CrowdCheering] Everyone, these are myfriends; the ones I've been tellingyou about. - Mr. Centipede! - Hi. - Old Green Grasshopper! - My pleasure. - Earthworm! Mrs. Ladybug! - Charmed. - Miss Spider! - [ Chuckles ] - And the Glowworm! - God bless the colonies! Could we eat some ofyour peach? - It won't keep forever. - Go ahead. [ Crowd Cheering ] Hey! What was your name? It's James! [ Cheering Continues ] [ Old Man Narrating] They ate that peach all the way down to the pit. Andset it up in Central Park as a permanent home. AndJames Henry Trotter, who once was the saddest and loneliest little boyyou could find, now had a loving new family... and all the friends in the world. -J ames, di nner is ready. - Hi, Miss Spider. All right. Nearly finished.
