Movie Name: The BGF
Released Date: 2016

The BFG (short for The Big Friendly Giant) is a children's novel by British author Roald Dahl, published in 1982. It expands upon a short story originally featured in Dahl's 1975 book Danny, the Champion of the World. The novel is dedicated to Dahl's eldest daughter, Olivia, who tragically passed away from measles encephalitis in 1962 at the age of seven.

An animated adaptation was released in 1989, with David Jason voicing the BFG and Amanda Root voicing Sophie. It has also been made into a theatrical performance and was later adapted into a live-action film by Disney, directed by Steven Spielberg, in 2016.

Plot:

Sophie, an eight-year-old orphan, is unable to sleep one night. As she peers out of her window, she spots a mysterious giant in the street, holding a suitcase and a trumpet. The giant notices Sophie and, despite her attempts to hide, scoops her up and carries her away to a cave in a remote land. Sophie fears for her life, thinking the giant means to eat her, but the giant laughs and reassures her that, as the Big Friendly Giant (BFG), he doesn’t eat humans. Instead, he took her so she wouldn’t reveal the existence of giants, which could get him captured for a zoo.

The BFG explains that although most of his neighbors—larger, stronger giants—eat humans regularly, he is different. These giants choose their victims based on their origin, as certain humans taste better depending on where they're from. The BFG, however, sustains himself on the unpleasant snozzcumber, a vegetable that grows in his land. He also catches and collects dreams in his suitcase, which he then distributes to children, while destroying the bad dreams.

When one of the neighboring giants, the Bloodbottler, visits the cave, Sophie hides inside the snozzcumber. The BFG tricks the Bloodbottler into eating it, hoping the disgusting taste will drive him away. Unknowingly, the giant nearly swallows Sophie, but he spits her out, and they both breathe a sigh of relief. They then enjoy a drink of frobscottle, a fizzy beverage with bubbles that sink rather than rise, causing loud, humorous flatulence, or "whizzpopping," as the BFG calls it.

Later, the BFG takes Sophie to Dream Country, where he catches two dreams—one good and one bad. As the other giants taunt and bully him, the BFG decides to get revenge. He releases the bad dream on Fleshlumpeater, the largest and most aggressive giant, who dreams of a killer named Jack, sparking chaos and a fight among the giants.

Sophie convinces the BFG to seek help from the Queen of England to stop the other giants. Together, they travel to Buckingham Palace, where the BFG places Sophie in the Queen’s bedroom. The BFG gives the Queen a dream that mirrors the events happening, and Sophie’s presence convinces the Queen to believe in the giants' existence. The Queen authorizes a military operation to capture the giants while they sleep.

With the BFG's guidance, helicopters manage to shackle eight of the giants, but Fleshlumpeater wakes up. Sophie and the BFG outsmart him and tie him up as well. The helicopters transport all nine giants to England, where they are imprisoned in a giant pit.

In gratitude, the nations that the giants had terrorized send gifts to Sophie and the BFG. They are given homes in Windsor Great Park, where they live peacefully while tourists flock to see the imprisoned giants. The BFG is named the Royal Dream-Blower and continues to deliver good dreams to children around the world. Over time, he improves his speech and writing skills, even writing a book (the novel itself) under a pseudonym.
