				Plot Summary: 
				Based on Roald Dahl's classic children's novel, this film tells 
				the story of a young orphan named James, who lives with his two 
				cruel and abusive aunts. James dreams of escaping his unhappy 
				life and finds a chance when he befriends a group of 
				anthropomorphic insects inside a magical giant peach. Together, 
				they embark on a fantastical journey to New York City, facing 
				various adventures and challenges along the way. Dad's Preview: 
				This starts an adventure that will carry James to 
				New York City, a place he wanted to visit with his parents. It 
				becomes a story of the importance of friends and support. Its 
				stunning animation style brings forward a wonderful fantasy 
				story. And yes, it feels a lot like a Tim Burton movie. The 
				delightful music was written by Randy Newman.
