On this day 30 years ago, "James and the Giant Peach" was released in cinemas in the United States.
The live-action/stop-motion animation hybrid adaptation of Roald Dahl’s 1961 novel of the same name was directed by *The Nightmare Before Christmas* director Henry Selick, produced by Denise Di Novi and Tim Burton, featured a screenplay by Karey Kirkpatrick, Jonathan Roberts and Steve Bloom, and starred Paul Terry as the titular character (it was Terry’s only appearance in a feature-length motion picture). The film also starred Joanna Lumley and Miriam Margoyles (she also voiced one of the stop-motion characters) and featured the voice talents of Simon Callow, Richard Dreyfuss, Jane Leeves, Susan Sarandon and David Thewlis. Academy Award-winning composer Randy Newman wrote five songs for the film and composed the film’s music score. The film was a box-office failure, grossing $28.9 million worldwide against a $38 million budget, but developed a cult following after its home video release in October 1996.
