I enjoyed watching the new Disney film, The BFG. We get to see the works of three great storytellers together. Director Steven Spielberg collaborated with Walt Disney Studios to bring Roald Dahl’s classic book, The BFG, to life and turn it into a wonderful film. I love the film for its CGI, which makes the animations look incredible, and I also enjoyed its comedic moments. In this film, we meet Sophie, an orphan who hates the all-girl orphanage she is living in. Then one day, she spots the elderly big, friendly giant (The BFG) who takes her away to Giant Country because he doesn’t want her to tell other people that she saw him. At first, Sophie is scared because she thinks he is going to hurt her, but then she realizes that the giant is actually really friendly, unlike the other giants. The Big Friendly Giant is considered an outcast by the other giants because he refuses to eat children or people as they do. Sophie has an idea to enlist help from Queen Victoria to help keep the Big Friendly Giant safe and capture all the man-eating giants from Giant Country. To see how the story unfolds, go see this film.
I appreciate the animations of this film because they are vivid, detailed, realistic and child-friendly. The faces and the size of the giants are amazing. I also like this film because of its humor. I also like the designs of the scenes. They look extremely realistic – so much so, that you could easily think it is a real place. I love how the characters change throughout the film. However, what I didn’t like in this film is that there are a few scenes that are too intense for younger viewers. Also, some scenes got a little boring. But besides that, this film is fantastic.
I give this film 4 out of 5 stars. I recommend it to kids ages 6 to 18 and I think adults will like this as well. I also recommend this to people who like family, action, adventure and comedy movies.
