9/10
Wonderful film

The only reasons I haven't given this film 10 out of 10 is because the scene where Sophie and the BFG watch dreams is a bit too short despite being a lovely scene which I think should be longer than it is and there is a tiny part of this film which I don't like. But this film is still a brilliant and excellent movie. It has good animation which is nice to look at and is a film about dreams which I think is a very interesting subject. The acting in this film is good and it doesn't change too much from the book it is based on, so it is a faithful adaptation of that book. However it does make the BFG slightly nicer than he is in the book, which is a good change because he is slightly too unkind in the book. The songs in this film are catchy but not corny, and this film has a happy feeling to it. The music in this film is good for this film and good in general and this film is funny. The characters in this film who are meant to be likeable are. The BFG is sometimes unkind but it wouldn't be true enough to the book if he was never unkind, and the characters in this film who are meant to be hated are very good villains. I like how this film has a happy ending and a clever storyline, for example it is a very clever idea for the Queen to become convinced that giants are eating children because she has dreamt it and part of her dream becomes true.
