DVD Review: The BFG

The BFG
based on the novel by Roald Dahl (DVD j BFG)

This delightful film version of Roald Dahl’s classic story, The BFG (Big Friendly Giant), is incredible — directed by Steven Spielberg with music by John Williams, this is one of the best children’s movies I have seen in many years, particularly with the special effects and computer graphics. The best performances in this production are from Mark Rylance as the BFG, Penelope Wilton as Queen Elizabeth II, and Ruby Barnhill as Sophie. I highly recommend this film for children and adults.

 

(If you enjoy this, you may also wish to try E.T. the Extraterrestrial, Annie, The Secret Garden or Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.)

 

(Also available in traditional print format.)
