James and the Giant Peach

Trivia: While Centipede is on the skeleton ship, he enters into a room where the Skeleton Captain is laying on a compass, and Centipede murmurs, "A Skelington?" This was probably a reference to a previous Tim Burton character, Jack Skelington in "The Nightmare Before Christmas". The fact that the Captain greatly resembles Jack supports this theory.

Continuity mistake: Throughout the flight with the seagulls attached to the peach stem, the length of the peach stem gets shorter and then longer and then shorter again.
