Study Guide for James and the Giant Peach James and the Giant Peach study guide contains a biography of Roald Dahl, literature essays, quiz questions, major themes, characters, and a full summary and analysis. James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl James and the Giant Peach is a musical fantasy film directed by Henry Selickbased on the novel of the same name by Roald Dahl. The film is a combination of live action and stop-motion animation. James Henry Trotter is a young orphan whose parents were devoured by a rhinocerosforcing him to live with his abusive and domineering aunts Spiker and Sponge. One day, after rescuing a spider from his hysterical aunts, James meets a mysterious old man who gives him a bag of magical "crocodile tongues" before disappearing without a trace. On his way back inside, James stumbles and drops the crocodile tongues near an old peach tree. A colossal peach grows on the tree, and Spiker and Sponge exploit the peach as a tourist attraction. At night, as James picks up litter, he enters the peach's interior through a large tunnel that forms when he takes a chunk from a peach to eat it. Within the pit, he encounters and befriends a group of human-sized anthropomorphic insects: Mr. Grasshopper, Mr. Centipede, Ms. Spider, Mr. Earthworm, Mrs. Ladybug, and the Glowworm. As they hear Spiker and Sponge searching for James, Centipede cuts the stem connecting the peach to the tree and the peach rolls away to the Atlantic Ocean. Remembering his dream to visit New York City, James and the insects decide to go there. Centipede claims to be an experienced traveler and takes on the duty of steering the peach. Spider's silk James and the Giant Peach used to capture and tie a large flock of seagulls to the peach stem as the group fends off a giant mechanical shark. After the group staves off James and the Giant Peach by drawing sustenance from the peach, Ms. Spider reveals to James that she was the spider he saved from Spiker and Sponge. The next morning, James and his friends find themselves in the Arctic; Centipede had fallen asleep at the helm, and his exploratory credentials are exposed as fraudulent. After Grasshopper determines that a compass is required to escape the frozen wasteland, a remorseful Centipede plunges into the icy water below to retrieve one from one of the many sunken galleons, but is captured and taken prisoner by undead skeletal pirates. James and Ms. Spider rescue him with the compass at hand. As the group finally arrives at New York City, they are suddenly attacked by the tempestuous form James and the Giant Peach the rhino that killed James's parents. James, though frightened, gets his friends to safety and confronts the rhino before it strikes the peach with lightning; James and the Giant Peach and the peach fall to the city below, landing on top of the Empire State Building. After he is rescued by firefighters, Spiker and Sponge arrive and attempt to claim James and the peach. James tells the crowd of his fantastical adventure and exposes his aunts' mistreatment. Enraged at James's betrayal, Spiker and Sponge attempt to hack James with stolen fire axes, but are stopped by the insects and arrested by the police. James introduces his friends to the New Yorkers and allows the children to eat up the peach. The peach pit is made James and the Giant Peach a cottage in Central James and the Giant Peach, where James lives happily with the bugs, who form his new family and also find success and fame in the city. James celebrates his ninth birthday with his new family and friends. Walt Disney Pictures acquired the film rights to the book from the Dahl estate James and the Giant Peach Selick had originally planned James to be a real actor through the entire film, then later considered doing the whole film in stop motion; but ultimately settled on entirely live-action and entirely stop-motion sequences, to keep lower costs. Though Roald Dahl refused numerous offers to have a film version of James and the Giant Peach produced during his lifetime, his widow, Liccy, approved an offer to have a live-action version produced. She thinks Roald "would have been delighted with what James and the Giant Peach did with James. It is a wonderful film. The website's critical consensus states: "The arresting and dynamic visuals, offbeat details and light-as-air storytelling make James and the Giant Peach solid family entertainment". Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly gave the film a positive review, praising the animated part, but calling the live-action segments "crude.

  • PRESSBOOK COMPLETO in ITALIANO Di
    La matricola Mike Wazowski ha sognato di diventare uno spaventatore sin da quando era un piccolo mostro e sa meglio di chiunque altro che i migliori spaventatori vengono dalla Monsters University (MU). Ma durante il primo semestre proprio alla MU, i suoi piani vengono sconvolti dall’incontro con lo spocchioso James P. Sullivan, detto “Sulley”, uno spaventatore dal talento naturale. Il loro spirito competitivo fuori controllo li farà cacciare dall’esclusivo programma per spaventatori dell’Università e, come se ciò non bastasse, si renderanno conto che l’unico modo per rimettere le cose a posto sarà quello di lavorare insieme, facendo squadra con un gruppo di mostri scapestrati. Ricco di risate e divertimento, il nuovo capolavoro Disney•Pixar Monsters University è diretto da Dan Scanlon (Cars, Mater and the Ghostlight, Tracy), prodotto da Kori Rae (Up, Gli incredibili, Monsters & Co.) e vanta le musiche del compositore premio Oscar® Randy Newman (Monsters & Co., Toy Story 3), che da quest’anno entrerà a far parte della Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, di Axwell & Sebastian Ingrosso, degli Swedish House Mafia e di Mastodon Il film arriverà nelle sale italiane il 21 agosto 2013, in Disney Digital 3D™. BENVENUTI ALLA MU Gli sceneggiatori riportano i personaggi indietro nel tempo “Volevamo che Monsters University fosse la storia di Mike” afferma il regista Dan Scanlon. “La sua sincerità e il suo spirito d’iniziativa sono irresistibili, la sua ricerca è così personale”. Fin dall’inizio Scanlon era attratto dall’idea di un personaggio alla scoperta di sé. “Impostando la storia nel periodo in cui Mike si avventura per la prima volta nel mondo da solo ci ha permesso di esplorare a fondo questo viaggio di autoconsapevolezza, sperimentando insieme a lui il divertimento, gli alti e bassi, le amicizie e le rivelazioni che si susseguono nella crescita.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

  • Er Lebt, Und Er Weiß Es
    Er lebt, und er weiß es Musik | Randy Newman – live in Stuttgart! Es muss einfach einmal gesagt werden: Er ist einer der Größten. Nächstes Jahr wird Randy Newman siebzig, und seine Zuhörer sind mit ihm alt geworden. Aber es sind genug, um den Stuttgarter Hegel-Saal zu füllen, einen Konzert- und Kongress-Saal von imponierendem Fassungsvermögen. Von THOMAS ROTHSCHILD Randy Newman ist ein Singer Songwriter im engsten Verständnis, das amerikanische Gegenstück zum deutschen Liedermacher. Und er ist in allen drei Sparten, die den Singer Songwriter ausmachen, ein Gigant: als Texter, als Komponist und als Interpret. Seine Schallplatten nimmt er in der Regel mit großer Besetzung auf. Der Sohn des renommierten Filmkomponisten Alfred Newman weiß, was ein Orchester zu leisten vermag. Aber bei seinen Live-Auftritten setzt er sich an den Flügel und singt seine Lieder, ohne Show, ohne Klimbim, einfach nur so – und mehr braucht es auch nicht. In Stuttgart fängt er mit jenem Song an, der der Gruppe Three Dog Night einen Hit beschert hat: Mama Told Me Not To Come. Er singt im Laufe von gut zwei Stunden den Ragtime Birmingham und Short People, gegen die heftige Proteste laut wurden, You’ve Got A Friend In Me aus dem Film Toy Story, You Can Leave Your Hat On, diese Voyeurs-Hymne, die auch Joe Cocker zu einem Riesenerfolg verhalf, Political Science, In Germany Before The War, Baltimore, Louisiana 1927, Harps And Angels, Lonely At The Top, Sail Away oder I Think It’s Going To Rain Today. Randy Newman wurde oft missverstanden, weil man seine Ironie nicht erkannt und seine Texte beim Wort genommen hat und weil bei Rollenliedern die geäußerte Meinung immer wieder für die Meinung des Autors gehalten wird.
