“Traumatizing Rhino” ITF Read & Watch: James and the Giant Peach (1961 novel & 1996 film)

Roald Dahl is one of the bestselling children’s authors of all
time, but how does this middle grade classic hold up when
adapted by Henry Selick? In episode 225, James & Luke
explore what scenes stayed with them most over the years and
which did not, including a traumatic rhinoceros, an odd
mecha-shark, some misguided live-action sequences, Randy
Newman's music, and a couple of potentially problematic aunts.
They finish by casting their votes for which version did it
best: the book or the movie!
