Is Mr. Grasshopper from James and The Giant Peach (movie version) furbait?

He looks like Mr. Peanut. I don't know, actually. I don't think a single design in this movie spoke to me personally, but that's not the point of this blog, is it? Objectively? Sure. I can roast this cricket all I want but at the end of the day it's your furry experience, not mine. We don't get to enjoy anthropomorphic insects often, so truly, this is your furrybait.

🎻Mr. Grasshopper🎻 ✨appreciation post✨

from James and The Giant Peach (1996)

A severely underrated movie imo. And he’s definitely one of my favorite parts of it!

Sure, he could be snobbish and a know-it-all at times…

But, c’mon, Simon Callow’s voice acting?? The elegance?? He plays the violin!? *chef’s kiss*

Also a dancer (gotta love a man with musical theatre skills lol)

In conclusion, your honor… he🎻

Uh yeaa furry

Alright alright alright.

IS MY LOVE FOR JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH?!

One of my favorite fucking movies as a child. Played it on VHS constantly. Loved every character, laughed at it, got "That's the Life For Me" stuck in my head so many times-

LOOK AT MY GOOFY MAN AND I DANCE!!! (ft Earthworm and my other hubby Centi Wenti <333)

I love when Grasshopper is just so silly <33

Sometimes before I have to tuck into a big job with a bad deadline, I need to mentally prepare myself with a few warm up sketches before hand to loosen the ol’ noggin.

They’re quick and messy, but make me giggle! It’s the sugar that makes the medicine go down.

Can zib from lackadaisy play as mr grasshopper from James and the giant peach?

I think he'd be a good fit for the most part, although Zib gives off a cooler vibe than Mr. Grasshopper. ;)

Sketches up an idea for an evil 18th cent foppish locust guy.

I like all the anthro and furry art I see. Unfortunately my favorite living things do not lend themselves well to be anthro. .. He wound up kind of like a locust-satyr instead. Inspired a bit by the james and the giant peach's mr grasshopper. (the terminology between locust and grasshopper is really interesting..))

can you hear the waves?

[floridianfireflyfaith]

I'm absolutely wheezing at Centipede's facial expressions here; Grasshopper is going on about how much he screwed everything up and he's just "ah crepes, does this guy ev-er shut up..."

I want a show based off of James And The Giant Peach that’s about all the bugs trying to raise James inside their little peach pit house after their grand adventure

Mr. Grasshopper home schools James, and they go to museums and poetry reading and musical preformances with Miss Spider who both encourage him to make his own

Miss Ladybug takes him on walks through Central Park and they garden together with Mr. Worm, cause no one knows dirt better than him

I imagine Mr. Centipede acts as more of a fun uncle than anything- he’s the one who takes James to places a kid probably shouldn’t go but is responsible enough to know when to dip, and he definitely takes James to his first baseball game at Yankee Stadium

And I imagine James just sits and relaxes with the Glow Worm, maybe talks to her about stuff that troubles him, and even if she can’t hear very well he continuously claims she’s the best listener in the house

[dadjoke-ness]

No one wants to talk about how if James and the Giant Peach was a more recent movie, you all would be thirsting over Mr. Centipede and Miss Spider for VERY different reasons.

Mr. Centipede: Ideal gross tumblr man. Smokes a cigar. Is pathetic. Probably smells like a corpse constantly.

Miss Spider: Will kill you. Is hot. Is woman. Sexy. Also her aesthetic is absolutely on point.

But Ness! All the bugs are attractive in their own right!

You are correct.

I want Earthworm fanblogs.

I want Grasshopper faceclaims.

I want to see someone posting absolutely wild Glowworm love at 3 am because she is a delightful old lady.

I want someone appreciating how pure Ladybug is.

(And this isn't even covering how there's cannon marriages between all the bugs in the original book, and other than Centipede and Spider, the other two marriages come out of absolutely nowhere, but since they all live together it is safe to assume they're poly and putting on heteronormative masks. Especially since the homoerotic tension between Grasshopper and Centipede was absolutely palpable.)

[The ‘Mass Murderer’ achievement has been gained through excessive killing.]

My face could be seen on the darkened window of the carriage.

It was a face I had never seen before, despite looking into the mirror countless times in my life. I wiped at the blood on my cheeks. The blood wasn’t erased. It turned out to be blood on the window.

lies down on the floor. augh. blood on the window

also. im pretty sure 'achievements' dont really show up after the second half of the novel. what is this, a fable? i know the hunting bonuses for new species but i dont remember this specific kind of achievement happening again
