When the young orphan boy James spills a magic bag of crocodile tongues, he finds himself in possession of a giant peach that flies him away to strange lands.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie is a fantasy adventure centered around magic, orphans, and travel. There are no meaningful connections to the Christmas season, themes, or iconography."
