Description
Sophie is snatched from her orphanage early one morning by the BFG (Big Friendly Giant), whom she witnesses engaged in mysterious activities, and whisked away to Giant Country. She is soon put at ease, as she learns that BFG's job is to collect, catalogue, and deliver pleasant dreams to children. She joins him that night, but the mean giants follow them, planning to eat the children. Sophie enlists the help of the Queen by making up a dream for her, and with the backing of the armed forces, they defeat the mean giants.

Note from Pearson Television Video
I recently received a great e-mail from Ken Law, the Head of Marketing at Pearson Television Video. Ken writes:
The video has been deleted in the UK but we are bringing out a DVD which
breathes new life into an already wonderful film. It will retail at £12.99
and includes a host of extras including:
- Animated menus
- Scene Selection
- Songs
- Interactive Interview with creator Brian Cosgrove
- 3 Interactive Games
- Photo Gallery
- Interactive Storyboards
It will be out on 28th August 2000 and the video will then be re-packaged and
re-released later in the year. |
So it's good news for British fans! You'll soon be able to own both the DVD and VHS versions of this great film!
