Product Description
David Jason (voice) When little Sophie is taken from her orphanage bed one night, it's just the beginning of a thrilling adventure with The Big Friendly Giant. As they catch dreams together in Dream Country and blow them into children's bedrooms, trouble appears in the shape of The Bloodbottler and Fleshlumpeater - big, bad giants who like to gobble children for breakfast! It's up to Sophie and The BFG to persuade the Queen of England to help them stop the giants and thwart their fiendish plans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulously Inventive, 13 Jun 2000
By John Peter O'connor - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This is an animated version of the children's story "The Big Friendly Giant" by Roald Dahl. While ostensibly a childrens story, it contains much that will keep mothers and fathers watching as well.

As befits a children's story, the plot is simple and direct. A small girl, Sophie, is kidnapped by a friendly giant when she catches him at his work delivering dreams. She discovers many things about giants and their world including the fact that there are also some very bad giants who want to eat people.

Eventually, Sophie and the Big Friendly Giant enlist the help of the Queen of England and they set out to catch the bad giants.

Children as young as four years old will enjoy this film. They may be little afraid but it's not so bad as to give them nightmares. The film will also appeal to older children too as the story, while simple in it's barest form, contains enough detail and wit to maintain interest.

Also, children will find a lot to talk about in the film and, if parents buy the original novel, they have something to read to, or with their child.

Sometimes, children watch a film over and over until it is worn out. In this case, be warned, they may watch this one so much that they wear out the player!
