A young lady named Sophie experiences the Big Friendly Giant who, regardless of his scary appearance, ends up being a compassionate soul who is viewed as an untouchable by alternate monsters in light of the fact that, dissimilar to them, he declines to eat kids.
Ten-year-old Sophie is in for the enterprise of a lifetime when she meets the Big Friendly Giant. Normally frightened at in the first place, the young lady soon understands that the 24-foot behemoth is very tender and beguiling. As their companionship develops, Sophie's nearness pulls in the undesirable consideration of Bloodbottler, Fleshlumpeater and different monsters. In the wake of heading out to London, Sophie and the BFG must persuade Queen Victoria to help them dispose of all the awful goliaths for the last time.
Some family-friendly slapstick and gross-out humor. There are some mild scenes of violence depicted, such as towards the end of the film, where the giants are captured in nets and hoisted away by helicopters.
frightening
There are some frightening sequences in the film, though not prolonged and/or intense.
