Skip it tonight unless you've got kids in tow—this Tim Burton stop-motion oddity is visually inventive but narratively weird and emotionally dark for a family film, making it feel more like a curiosity than a crowd-pleaser.

Plot

When the young orphan boy James spills a magic bag of crocodile tongues, he finds himself in possession of a giant peach that flies him away to strange lands.

Director: Henry Selick
