As James and his aunts journey in the peach, they encounter a number of other insects. Each character has their own personality, but they all share some common traits. These include pride, greed, fear, and lust. While they may not be as bad as the human characters in the story, these bugs are still prone to misjudging things and making incorrect assumptions. The Ladybug is the most kind of the group, and she takes care of James. She even offers to protect him when the other bugs won’t. She is also one of the first to realize that James has the ability to help them get out of dangerous situations.

Randy Newman penned the music for James and the Giant Peach. He took the words from the book and arranged them into a musical style that is appropriate for the film. The song “Eating the Peach” is a tasty paean to the fruit. The musical also contains songs about love, family, and adventure. In addition, it features an homage to Roald Dahl and the characters from his books. For this reason, it is a fitting musical for a family movie. The movie also received an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song. The musical is currently in development for a Broadway production.
