Tuesday, May 7, 2013: James and the Giant Peach Movie
James and the Giant Peach is a 1996 live action/stop motion film. It was based on the classic children’s novel by Roald Dahl. It tells the story of James Henry Trotter, a young orphan forced to live with his cruel aunts after his parents are killed by a rhinoceros. James dreams of escaping to New York City, a beautiful place that his parents told him about. One day a mysterious stranger gives James a bag full of magic, which causes a peach to grow to a giant size. The aunt thinks the peach will make people rich and get people to pay them to see it. James sneaks inside the peach and finds a group of insects who have become human-like from the magic. James and his new friends escape from the aunts, and travel inside the peach to find a better life. This movie ties in with our SRP theme “Dig into Reading!” The movie will run from 4:00 to 5:10 pm. Popcorn and juice will be served.
