Their Pirates' Flag
The Skeleton Pirates are minor antagonists in James and the Giant Peach.
Appearances
James and the Giant Peach
After Mr. Centipede got caught by the Skeleton Pirate Captain, one of the Skeleton Pirates that was named Paul Bunyan attempted and failed to cut Centipede in half. With help from Miss Spider and James, Centipede was rescued and they escaped with a compass they needed. Centipede was suddenly pulled back by the Skeleton Pirates, which he bravely fought. It appeared that Centipede got killed, but he actually managed to come out in one piece.
It is unknown if the Skeleton Pirates are still alive after their battle.
Trivia
- The Skeleton Pirate Captain bears a strong resemblance to Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas, due to the interchangeable heads used for Jack Skellington being reused for the Pirate Captain. In fact, when Mr. Centipede encounters him for the first time, he even says "A skellington?"
- Additionally, both James and the Giant Peach and The Nightmare Before Christmas were both directed by Henry Selick and Tim Burton had a hand with both of them.
- One of the pirates is very similar to Donald Duck.
