If you loved James and the Giant Peach, try Wendell & Wild
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Wendell & Wild has roughly 3.8× fewer votes than James and the Giant Peach — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Henry Selick, and they both carry the playful, surreal mood tags, and they sit in Adventure / Animation / Fantasy territory. If that's the register that drew you to James and the Giant Peach, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Wendell & Wild is
A church bell tolls midnight, ink-black wings blot out the streetlamps. Two demon siblings, horns polished to a sinister sheen, pitch a punk rebel on building a mechanized graveyard so they can snag body heat and amnesty up top. Dropped straight into stop-motion like a lost 1993 Selick celluloid fever dream.
