Story Synopsis
One moonlit night, little orphan Sophie is snatched from her bed by an awesome giant who whisks her away on a magical, thrilling, and funny adventure. Unlike scary giants such as the Bloodbottler, the Fleshlumpeater, and the Bonecruncher, the BFG (Big Friendly Giant) is a good giant who blows sweet dreams into the bedroom windows of children as they slumber.
When Sophie learns that a monstrous crew of meanies is off to England to gobble up innocent boys and girls, she sets out to stop them once and for all, with the help of her new, rather large, friend.
My Thoughts
There is a lot of hype about the new BFG movie coming out. I'm looking forward to it as well, but the original cartoon version has lots of charm too. This movie is about a little girl named Sophie whose vivid imagination attacks a friendly giant. He brings Sophie to his world, but not all of the giants are friendly. The two embark of a variety of sometimes scary, but always exhilarating adventures filled with magic.
My kids really enjoyed this classic movie, and it brought back memories of my own childhood when I first watched it back in the 80s. It's a great introduction to the new movie that will be hitting theaters soon. For little ones, it's a lot less scary.
