this is a great movie!

this is the best movie in the history of animated movies! it is full of excitment with an enchanting story about a little girl named Sophie and a giant called the BFG (big friendly giant). i am 9 years old and i think the book is equally as good as the movie is!!!!!!!!!!!!! May 25, 2007

Just as remembered

I watched this when I was a child and I decided to buy it for my children and they loved it. May 17, 2007

Not The Book

I read this book every year with my 4th grade class. This year I thought we would watch the movie and practice comparing and contrasting the book and the movie. I was very disappointed in the movie. There's really nothing wrong with it, it's just not at all close to the book. It you're looking for a cute children's movie, it's okay but it you want to see Roald Dahl's "The BFG" you'll have to wait for another version. May 16, 2007

The BFG an exciting event

The BFG

Do you now where dreams come from? Imagination, mind, giants and trumpets, I know its all odd. When little, brave, and smart Sophie looks out her window what does she see?
Have you ever scared a queen right out of her socks?That is exactly what little Sophie does with her friend the BFG! What kind of power do they need?
Snozzcumbers? Frobscottle? Whizzpopers? The flesh Lumpeader? What are all these objects anyway? Where do dreams come from too?
The Bloodbottler is attacking! What are they going to use the BFGs power or sophies big brains or both .Maybe the Bloodbottler is a little numb.What is a bloodbottler who is he?
So what exactly are all these extraordinary things? In this fantasy by Roald Dahl , just about anything could happen.
I would recomend this book to anyone who likes exciting and funfilled books and if you are in to total mystery and excitment.

Almost as Good as the Book! (Sam & his Dad)

True to the book, good animation, one of the great adaptations. We had to pay $$ to get this, it is never shown on TV nor is it available any longer in the USA. Don't buy a British one, it won't play on an American video recorder. The sound is a little muffled on our copy... You should DEFINITELY read Matilda and rent that video too! August 22, 2005
