Sex & Nudity

  • Most of the giants don't wear much clothing.
  • Sophie is shown very briefly topless. Since she is a little girl, she has no bare breasts showing.
  • In the boy's dream sequence, he is shown naked and part of his crotch is shown, but his genitals are not.

Violence & Gore

  • No blood or gore, but there is some occasional aggressive violence from the bad giants.

Profanity

  • No swearing (because it is for family audiences), but some very mild comical name calling!

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • There are scenes that show giants who are very monstrous in appearance and demeanour.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • In the film's climax, one of the bad giants chases Sophie in a prolonged and intense scene (with dramatic and suspenseful music) before eventually cornering her. He prepares to eat her but luckily, the BFG saves Sophie in time by blowing a terrible nightmare at the bad giant, causing him to hallucinate and flee the area. (The giant's screams of torment are rather blood-curdling and may be upsetting)
  • A giant reaches into a bedroom to grab a child, making Sophie scream in terror.
