Check out this cool stop motion intro by Charlotte and Philippe for Oliwood films. Really nice, love the feel it has of an old school hand held camera. Love the editing job on the intro as well.
Stop motion animation done by Katie Lauffenbuger. Katie is an extremly talented animatior located in the Chicago scene. In this particular piece I feel Katie did an awsome job translating the emotion from the main character without any facial expresion to help support her. Really enjoyed this piece hope to see more of your work soon Katie!

When producer Tim Burton crafted his now classic stop-motion film A NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS with director Henry Selick, it was unlike any other children’s film out there. Certainly there were echoes of HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS, but it was wrapped around Burton’s wild imagination and crazy, dark designs.
Burton’s stop-motion follow-up was 1996’s JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH which was once again directed by Selick.
This time, it was an adaptation of the classic Roald Dahl short story which mixed live action and stop motion in a failed attempt to capture that WIZARD OF OZ zeitgeist.
When I first saw it, I was terribly disappointed, but felt maybe the anticipation for the project did me in.
Watching it 14 years later however, and on Blu-ray, I’m struck by the same ambivalent feelings. JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH is an uneven and way too dark exploration of a young boy who escapes his wretched home life from his two horrible Aunts and finds himself on an adventure inside a giant peach.
There he meets friends of the garden variety – literally garden bugs such as a spider, a centipede, a ladybug, an earthworm and a grasshopper.
It takes awhile for the film to get to this stop-motion part – and once there, Selick does wring some occasional magic out of it. The shark attack is well executed and the pirate battle underwater (featuring a cameo appearance by NIGHTMARE’s Jack Skellington) is pretty cool.
But from the uninvolving songs by usually pitch perfect Randy Newman to the awkward voice casting, JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH never soars and doesn’t becomes the imaginative and wondrous world the original book once promised.
Instead it’s uneven and particularly the first live-action part, too freaky, strange and scary for even the little kids.
DIGITAL TRANSFER
Surprisingly, the digital transfer is not very good here. The images aren’t as sharp and clear as they should be. There’s grain, and the blacks are a little too dark. The brighter moments on the high seas have much more clarity, but it still feels like an upconverted DVD rather than a brand new digitally mastered print.
SPECIAL FEATURES
Not much here. There’s an archive featurette on the making of the film, the “Good News” video performed by Randy Newman (the best song of the bunch) and the theatrical trailer. There’s a new interactive game called “Spike the Aunts” that’s fun, but more special features would have been nice.
Like many of the recent Disney Blu-ray reissues, you also get a DVD version of the film on top of the Blu-ray disc which has added value.
This 1996 follow-up to A NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS and adaptation of the Roald Dahl book, still misses that special ‘magic’ on this Blu-ray release
