The BFG – UK Region

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

This is a Disney movie, and so expected to be family fare and specially for children – and it is, of course!
But I feel that most “kids of all ages” would be impressed, entertained and just plain delighted with this film.

Watch it more than once to appreciate the attention to detail and the grace in development from start to a finish that is actually a beginning.
“Good morning, BFG” .

The first sentence aims right at the audience as individuals and draws them into the story. In a few moments the personality of our heroine, Sophie, is presented artfully and the fun begins, when she catches a glimpse of the BFG, who must, therefore, take her along with him, so as not to reveal his existence.

The two become friends and partners and very fond of one another, in spite of the obvious differences in nature and nurture and learn of a world-threat that must be mended and only they can do it.

The imagination if fed with portions of the story that are easy , moderate and fantastic in the original story from the famous children’s author Raould Dahl , and the film seems truly devoted to adding “just one more thing – and then another ” , all along , one more sparkle that would make the story worthy and delightful !

My problem? I am not a fan of sequels, but now that we are in love with the characters, may we have some? The Possible story lines are infinite !

Thank you so much, to all who made this film the wonder it is – charmed – just charmed!

As a culminating activity after reading the The BFG aloud to my class we watched this movie. Students thoroughly enjoyed the exciting, comedic, and realistic aspects of this adaptation. They especially enjoyed comparing the fantastical elements from the book to how they were retold in the movie. The funniest part was when they drank the “frobscottle” in the Palace. Reminding us all, that everyone “whizzpops” – even the Queen! The BFG is a story of an unlikely friendship that develops into one that has the power to change the world by doing good and serving justice in a humanitarian way is both heartwarming and positive. All ages can enjoy this movie. The idea that looks can be deceiving and recognizing the power of acceptance are also powerful themes.
