I’m not sure how I missed this one last month. A trailer for Henry Selick‘s (Coraline) stop-motion animated James and Giant Peach has turned up on YouTube! Disney has yet to announce the title so all that’s known about the release is what you can see in the trailer. However, it seems as if the Blu-ray disc is being marketed to take advantage of the upcoming Tim Burton film, Alice in Wonderland (Burton was a producer on Peach). It seems likely that we’ll see James and the Giant Peach on Blu-ray in a release that coincides with Wonderland, sometime in June.
I remember thinking it was an OK movie, but regardless, stop motion on Blu-ray is pretty awesome.
I’ve never had the chance to see it, Tommy but I think Selick is a pretty talented guy. Combine that talent with a classic Roald Dahl story and I’m sold!
