Sophie is snatched from her orphanage early one morning by the BFG (Big Friendly Giant), whom she witnesses engaged in mysterious activities. She is soon put at ease, as she learns that BFG's job is to collect, catalog and deliver pleasant dreams to children. She joins him that night, but a mean giants follow them, planning to eat the children of the world.
Editor's Verdict
"Despite having a 'Holiday Release,' the plot description of 'The BFG' indicates it is a fantasy story about giants, dreams, and stopping mean giants. There is no indication that the setting, plot, themes, iconography, or resolution are tied to the Christmas holiday itself. The detected element appears to be only a release date artifact."
