The BFG

A charming odd-couple adventure sees a plucky orphan and a vegetarian giant teaming up against their rowdier peers. After a midnight trip to Dream Country the unlikely allies plot to save humans from a second helping. What could have been pillow-soft fluff instead lands with the weight of a half-eaten scone.
