This is one of my childhood favorites, having been a rather timid child like James, that I still love! It's also definitely an instance where you can tell that Burton actually cares about the source material, and tries to be faithful to it (so much so that this film is what eventually got Dahl's widow to endorse him as the director for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory).

[@strawberrysoulforever8336]

I'm not sure I agree with being faithful. I mean, the mechanical shark? No Cloud Men and a shipwreck instead? The aunts living? And the major rhino symbolism (which I actually liked). It's a good movie, but I don't think it's very faithful to the source material. I think Dahl would still have to give it some credit, though - stop motion really lends itself to his creations.

I like how the rhinoceros in the movie is a demonic, supernatural entity made of clouds, that explains how it ate Jame's parents. In the book, the rhino that ate his parents was just a regular rhino from the zoo, which makes zero sense cuz rhinos are herbivores! XD

[@TeaSong1]

Why did roald Dahl goe with rhinos in the first place as an adult he should’ve known that rhinoceros are herbivorous animals yes they kill people but they never eat them they won’t even eat other animals even children would know this is inaccurate if he wanted James parents to get eaten by a wild animal he should’ve used a carnivorous animal like a crocodile or a tiger and of course a Lion because those animals not only kill humans but eat them as well(but only if they fail to hunt any other kind of animal)there called “man-eaters” for a reason! rhinos only kill humans for protection from anger or even by accident but never EVER! For food moral of the story never look up to roald Dahl books for zoology

[@thomashuffman3237]

My main problem is the way James' parents' death was handled. It was WAY too sudden and rushed. If you want character development to work, then you MUST take your time. Take Lion King for example: Mufasa dies when we're halfway through the movie (at the 37 minute mark, since The Lion King is 88 minutes long), and thus, we've had plenty of time to get to know Mufasa as a character and learn about how much he meant to Simba, which, in turn, makes his death all the more effective in terms of drama. Here, the killed James' parents off right at the very beginning of the movie, which is very rushed. They should have waited a bit longer to do it, but, when the death in this movie actually happened, it felt like someone pressed the fast forward button.

[@davidanthonymercado7064]

Not to mention that James literally had no other choice but to live with those abusive old bags.

[@ClopinGirl64]

My opinion: This is a good movie but I guess it's mainly because of its nostalgic value. I think Randy Newman did a great job with the musical score. I guess I can't be too bothered by the fact that it won an award or two for Best Animated Film but I still think that honor should have gone to The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

[@Charles12]

You may be right, but it's also based on a book lots of people had nostalgia for already and the technical achievements were pretty ambitious even back then.

[@brandonspain12345]

Fun fact: The movie was originally intended to be entirely stop motion like The Nightmare Before Christmas but that would've made the budget too high, and they had to cut it with the live action segments at the first and final acts. At one point, they also considered making James entirely live action and they would've added the actor with the stop motion effects, but that too would've been costly with the blue screen effects.

[@joinmarch76]

I actually share similar thoughts on this flick, as I remember watching this on Netflix when I was younger. I love the scenes involving the bugs and the stop motion scenes of Henry Sellick...the same cannot be said about the humans, though. Fun fact, this was orchestrated by Randy Newman, which would explain the big band-like feel to most of the tunes.

[@Kev701]

In regards to the point of the characters being one dimensional, I think thats kinda due to Roald Dahl's style. Alot of the characters in his books are often shown in a black and white perspective (Good vs evil) with usually good, bright characters without any flaws (e.g. James, Matilda, Charlie) who always win in the end. While they usually face off against one note bad guys who mistreat them (e.g. James aunts, Trunchbull and the other kids in the chocolate factory) and end up being defeated in an overly cartoon manner. Alot of this is down to Dahl's own childhood experience as he often hated a lot of his teachers and in a sense, a lot of adult figures in general (I'd highly recommend his book 'Boy' to get an insight into this) But still, great review! Keep up the good work!
