Based on the famous novel, Roald Dahl’s James and the Giant Peach, Jr. follows James as he is sent by his conniving aunts to chop down their old fruit tree. There, he discovers a magic potion that grows a tremendous peach, rolls into the ocean and launches a journey of enormous proportions. James befriends a collection of singing insects that ride the giant piece of fruit across the ocean, facing hunger, sharks and plenty of disagreements along the way.
