Glowworm

The Glowworm is one of the major characters in James and the Giant Peach. She was voiced by Miriam Margolyes (who also portrayed Aunt Sponge in the same film).

Role in the film
She first appears when James climbs inside the peach, having been transformed. She is like a grandmother figure to James. She lights up the inside of the peach with her tail, and has bad hearing. She accompanies the others on their journey to New York City. She and the others are separated from James during an attack from The Rhino, but they later reunite with James, who has transformed back into his normal form, and she aids in the capture of Spiker and Sponge. She later lives with the others in Central Park, and becomes a new light torch for the Statue of Liberty, saving the city millions of dollars on power.
