Three of the world’s greatest storytellers – Roald Dahl, Walt Disney and Steven Spielberg – finally unite to bring Dahl’s beloved classic “The BFG” to life.
Directed by Spielberg, Disney’s “The BFG” tells the imaginative story of a young girl and the Giant who introduces her to the wonders and perils of Giant Country.
Standing over 7 metres tall with enormous ears and a keen sense of smell, the BFG is endearingly dim-witted and keeps to himself for the most part.
Giants like Bloodbottler (Bill Hader) and Fleshlumpeater (Jemaine Clement) on the other hand, are twice as big and at least twice as scary and have been known to eat humans, while the BFG prefers Snozzcumber and Frobscottle.
Upon her arrival in Giant Country, Sophie, a precocious 10-year-old girl from London, is initially frightened of the mysterious giant who has brought her to his cave, but soon comes to realise that the BFG is actually quite gentle and charming, and, having never met a giant before, has many questions.
The BFG brings Sophie to Dream Country where he collects dreams and sends them to children, teaching her all about the magic and mystery of dreams. Having both been on their own in the world up until now, their affection for one another quickly grows, but Sophie’s presence in Giant Country has attracted the unwanted attention of the other giants, who have become increasingly more bothersome.
Sophie and the BFG soon depart for London to see Queen Victoria (Penelope Wilton) and warn her of the precarious giant situation, but they must first convince the Queen and her maid, Mary (Rebecca Hall), that giants do indeed exist. Together, they come up with a plan to get rid of the giants once and for all.

I loved reading this to my daughter, we had a lot of laughs as I tried to pronounce his silly words 🙂
I love both Disney and the BFG, great for the young and the old
Love those tongue twister, almost correct, wobbly, wiggly words the BFG sprouts to tiny Sophie, perched on the tall table. They are certainly words of wisdom.. Half way through my schooldays copy of the BFG book I’m reading to my boy before we see the movie. TIX, yes please.
Disney is sheer fuel for the imagination, both big and little alike.
BFG my favourite book when I was a kid, giants, giants and more giants. And I have to say that I am dying to see if Disney and Speilberg have brought it to life, exactly how I imagined it would be on the big screen all these years. Going to be a brilliant film.
I have waiting to see this movie for while. It has many positive reviews from social media. Thank you this opportunity.
One of my most favourite books growing up, I have loved sharing it with my two little girls and would love to share the movie version experience with them too. We love the thinly veiled morals throughout the story and the time enduring friendship of an unlikely pair! Such an imaginative story! Amanda Giffard (nee: Reed)
Roald Dahl was my favourite author when I was younger and I had all of his books. I’d read them over and over again and get lost in whatever magical world that particular book was about. BFG was in the top 3 of my favourites of his and I’d love to share the cinematic version with the kids!
My daughter loved Roald Dahl books, the BFG in particular, when she was a child & I would love to share the Disney magic with my grandkids.
I grew up reading Roald Dahl books. The BFG was one of my all time favourites, would love to take my 5 year old and share the magic with her.
I love that Disney isn’t just for kids. Adults can enjoy also. I’d love to see what great work they have done with The BFG. My daughter would love to see it also.
Love the magic of Disney movies!
Can’t wait to see BFG with my daughter 🙂

My 9 year old has a full set of Roald Dahl books. She reads them constantly.

Its good to see the classic stories are making a comeback without having to scare children with too real ghosts and special effects

Disney are just enduring classics and they keep making more. Timeless, amazing stuff
I really want to watch BFG as it was my favourite as a child. I would love to see how Disney can take me back in time. I’d love to say I was entering this comp for my children but it’s actually for me. Haha!
Disney has spent so much effort and time and money making classic children’s stories come to life!
I loved reading this book as a child, and would love to see it in all its cinematic beauty. Would be a nice way to introduce the story to my 3 year old son also.

I love Disney….it takes so many wonderful childhood and adult stories and adapts them to the big screen beautifully

I love Disney movies because they are great stories and have wonderful music. The BFG is a terrific story and I’d love to see it on the big screen
My 6 year old loves Disney movies. I love Disney movies. Steven Spielberg has to be my favourite and Roald Dahl is a great quirky author. Walt Disney was a visionary. He just knew what the world needed. A little bit of MAGIC is always welcome everywhere, every time. DO YOU BELIEVE IN MAGIC? I DO!!!!!!!!!
Disney movies are always fabulous and kids love them. I love showing my kids movies I watched as a young girl.
Love this story
The story of a big friendly giant is so nice after the ogres of Jack and the Beanstalk giant. The children would absolutely love to see this nice, gentle movie.
My daughter is currently reading the book and absolutely loves it. She tells me the story in detail after each chapter.
BFG was my favourite Roald Dahl book of the whole collection and I love the fact that yet again, another Roald Dahl movie has been combined with Disney and now Steven Spielberg! My daughter is still too young to see it but my nephews are the perfect age as they’ve started reading all Roald’s books so would love to take them and have them remember ‘the time we saw BFG at the movies with Aunty Kat!’
Disney Movies are always enjoyable and a movie that the kids will watch over and over. I am reading the story to the kids every night before we see the movie. They are so excited each night to listen to it,
It will be amazing to see it come alive on the Big screen
Who doesn’t love a Roald Dahl story. Disney brings them to life.
Disney – I love a good story.

I would read this book every night as a little girl and very excited to take my daughter to see the film so she can see the Big friendly giant and experience the magic as I did at the same age.

Disney just makes the most amazing stories and movies. They entertain both children and adults and allow for quality family time either through reading stories together or watching movies together.
The magic of each story as it comes along. You are never too old to enjoy a Disney movie and they will never get outdated. Each movie teaches us a little something
Disney is magical taking you on a mesmerising journey, fascinates, charms, dazzles and allures.
BFG was one of my all time favourite books, then one of my favourite movies growing up, now this movie has been released just in time to introduce my children to this story <3 bless, must be meant to be
Disney allows adults to become children again, parents to be able to share in the mystery and magic of imagination with their children.
Disney takes me from the real world to the magic world. Imagination makes our life more colorful.

Disney movies make my eyes light up and my heart smile.

The BFG was a hit in our family. We read, and re read all the Roald Dahl classics!
Now, it’s so wonderful seeing my 9 year old’s passion reignited by reading the same Roald Dahl BFG I read when I was little.
Nowadays, parents and kids don’t have a lot of things in common- but this is one book-turned-movie ALL families can bond over.
BFG passes are great for the big friendly family
as usual Disney allows me the chance to escape to a world of dreams and imagination and BFG does just that
I love the fantasy world brought to life by Disney movies.
Disney has been part of everyone’s life, it has captivated and transported me to places of wonders and fueled my imagination as a child through my adult years.
