The BFG big friendly giant  Cover Image DVD DVD

The BFG [DVD videorecording] : big friendly giant / produced by Steven Spielberg, Frank Marshall, Sam Mercer ; screenplay by Melissa Mathison ; directed by Steven Spielberg.

Summary:

It tells the imaginative story of a young girl and the Giant who introduces her to the wonders and perils of Giant Country. The BFG, while a giant himself, is a Big Friendly Giant and nothing like the other inhabitants of Giant Country. Standing 24-feet tall with enormous ears and a keen sense of smell, he is endearingly dim-witted and keeps to himself for the most part.
