I like how this film captured what the book was like, basically like a lot of Dahl's films it was quite dark but never quite going that extra mile into horror nor does it lose the fact that it is at the end of the day, a childrens story. Apparantly Dahl actually liked this film when Cosgrove showed it to him which i think is pretty good. It's not often authors are happy with films made of their work and Dahl was one of the pickiest.
3:50 I love how Sophie goes “Ah yes. A giant cloaked figure looming over the houses and peering into windows. All’s good. Aight. Imma just go back to- WOAH WAIT A MINUTE WHAT THE FUCK??” This movie unironically formed some of my sense of humour today.
Sir Mark Rylance was believable as The BFG because he had the persona and the voice. Having Steven Spielberg directing and John Williams composing the music The BFG is perfectly matched.
Nothing wrong with writing stories like that. Kids love dark stories. It's only the adults who censor stories. Ask any kid and it's the stories that made them shiver that they will remember years from now.
I haven't seen this movie since I was a little kid. The movie scared the shit out of me in some parts, incredibly dark atmosphere. My favourite Dahl adaptation.
Such a thrill to find these videos! My elementary students chose this book for their LUNCH BUNCH selection. These were perfect to spark discussions! Love the deeper messages about honor, love, loyalty, sacredness of all life in the story!
I would recommend watching Steven Spielberg's adaptation of The BFG starring Sir Mark Rylance as the Big Friendly Giant and Ruby Barnhill as Sophie with the musical score by John Williams.
I am just grateful that Steven Spielberg directed The BFG because he has had the ability to connect with children in a big way on the big screen, and if Tim Burton directed it the film would have been far too gory, bloody and extreme to be viewed by children in the cinema because of Tim Burton's reputation for dark comedy, unpredictable black humour, Gothic horror, the grotesque gruesome and grisly, the creepy shadows, the ugly and the sinister, and blood and gore from his previous films like Sleepy Hollow and Sweeney Todd.
Yes it is Sir David Jason who did the voice of the BFG in this film and also did the voice of Toad in The Wind in the Willows, Dangermouse and Count Duckula.
I personally prefer the soundtrack by John Williams in Steven Spielberg's film The BFG starring Sir Mark Rylance and Ruby Barnhill because it fits in with the weird and whimsical world that Roald Dahl created in the original book.

even the music and voices are bringing back so many memories, I was shit sacred of this film when I was younger... bet I still am now, it's a freakin' horror film!
I always imagined Sophie in the Cosgrove Hall film as Masie Lockwood when we see her for the first time hiding in the shadows of Lockwood Manor on the top floor of the house in Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom at the beginning of the film.
I love the scene of her shoving her heels in her sneakers.. Beautifully done! - omg! The opening wasn't so awful! You guys got me scared for nothing! Lol!!
I had a dream about 2016's giants. I was in the garden and found them searching for me. I tried hiding in next door's chicken pen which was rather humiliating. As soon as they weren't looking, I managed to make a run for it. Trouble is I can't remember happened to me next.
I recommend watching Steven Spielberg's adaptation of The BFG starring Sir Mark Rylance as the Big Friendly Giant and Ruby Barnhill as Sophie accompanied with the musical score by John Williams.
This film used to TERRIFY me as a child. Wait, scratch that, it's still terrifying. But sort of terrifying in a good way - I like it; it's so whimsical.
Ahh! I used to LOOOOOVE this movie, but I haven't seen in in prob ten years or so! THANK YOU for posting this!! I've been wanting to watch it again for a while! Loved Roald Dahl books! Such a great writer!
this intro reminds me of dreams, or a nightmare. i think the guy who did thid really wanted to get his depiction of thr nature of dreams. and it kinda fits like that strangely. dreamatic and echo soundings
Steven Spielberg did a magnificent job on The BFG and Sir Mark Rylance portrayed a believable Roald Dahl character and the musical score by composer John Williams was absolute perfection. Spielberg and Williams were meant to bring The BFG to life on the Big Screen.
This was a direct to DVD film. Steven Spielberg brought it to life on the Big Screen starring Sir Mark Rylance as the BFG and Ruby Barnhill as Sophie accompanied with the musical score by John Williams, and I think The BFG is one of Steven Spielberg's best Children's films he has ever worked on since E.T. The Extra Terrestrial and Hook.
I loved this film as a kid! I remember bringing my family's vhs to school for my elementary school class to watch after we finished reading the book. :)
I'm 13 now, and i havent watched this since i was about 7. Reason being, my video player stared to eat all the videos i put into it (by ate i mean, pulled all the film out), and i would always watch it till to end and the rewind it and play again. ive got a habit of it even today. only nows its DVD's for me. luckily tho, my mums friend has got a working video player, and she says i can have it. so i can again watch all my fave disney vids tht were passed down to me from my big bro and sis x
The intro has a sort of Doctor Who feel to it as the fiery tunnel looks a bit like the time vortex. Has anyone thought a Tardis was gonna fly in this? lol
@@alexmacleod3728 I didn't know that. I have seen this as a child and I have seen Steven Spielberg's film adaptation of The BFG starring Sir Mark Rylance as the Big Friendly Giant and Ruby Barnhill as Sophie with the musical score by John Williams and his musical score does suit this classic Roald Dahl children's book. I think The BFG is Steven Spielberg's best Children's Film since E.T. The Extra Terrestrial and Hook.
I only seen a little bit of this when I was a child. Only got to the part where a kid was dreaming about turning invisible and scaring the family. members.
It's funny how she doesn't try running away when the BFG spots her watching him. I know in this version she barely has a second to react but in the live action movie she has more than enough time to react
I remember watching this movie when I was in 2nd grade including reading the book. Now I'm 16 and a junior in high school. I miss my childhood, including this movie :)
That intro music just reminded me of how creepy I found this film. It's one of my absolute favourites from when I was a child and I'm so glad I've been reunited with it!
i just finished the book....its funny!! i love the whizpopping chapter.....my mom posted the whizpopping part on her facebook...every one is like "What were you drinking last night" and "i want one" and "abby needs to stop reading all together!"
Ever seen Steven Spielberg's 2016 film starring Sir Mark Rylance and Ruby Barnhill with the musical score by John Williams? That film I highly recommend is worth watching.
I loved this movie when I was a kid, and I loved the book too :). Oddly enough, it didn't scare me. Perhaps I'd had plenty of stories with giants by that time or something. This was the first one I'd ever heard of with a friendly giant though :).
*Cries* I loved this show as a kid and I'm going to send it to my older sister who's 20 now. She absolutely loved the BFG and I couldn't find this anywhere at all!! Thank you so much for putting it on youtube for people like me!!! Thanks!!
I have always loved this movie, watching it as a kid. Its so original. The book is just as good, equally as funny- you got to love Roald Dahl for his imaginative work.
@GuysSeriously - I think that's because of how kids rationalise, Aliens happened in space/on another world, this happened on Earth, and as a kid, you fear a giant could come after you to eat you.

It's so haunting.. especially the beginning, with the music and all. I was terrified as a kid for those evil giants!
Yeh the opening credits feel something out of a Hitchcock film.
I like how this film captured what the book was like, basically like a lot of Dahl's films it was quite dark but never quite going that extra mile into horror nor does it lose the fact that it is at the end of the day, a childrens story.

3:50 I love how Sophie goes “Ah yes. A giant cloaked figure looming over the houses and peering into windows. All’s good. Aight. Imma just go back to- WOAH WAIT A MINUTE WHAT THE FUCK??”
This movie unironically formed some of my sense of humour today.
HAY!!!!!!! YOU CUSED 😐😐😐😐😐
I believe that's called a Double Take.
AWESOME SOUND in these old movies ! The giants breathing really scared me as a kid. Side note ; i hope TIm burton keeps his hands off !
I should point out that's Del Boy voicing the BFG, which is what makes this film quite funny for me lol
Agreed ^^
When BFG flies through the sky to Giant Country is like an ET moment and, ironically, Spielberg directed the live action film.
Sir Mark Rylance was believable as The BFG because he had the persona and the voice. Having Steven Spielberg directing and John Williams composing the music The BFG is perfectly matched.
Would the other giants do the same or would they have a different way of getting in? I’ve always wondered that
Nothing wrong with writing stories like that. Kids love dark stories. It's only the adults who censor stories. Ask any kid and it's the stories that made them shiver that they will remember years from now.
I haven't seen this movie since I was a little kid. The movie scared the shit out of me in some parts, incredibly dark atmosphere. My favourite Dahl adaptation.
i loved this movie but was so scared of the bad giants as a kid!!! it used to give me nightmares but always watched it any way!! brilliant movie!
one of the best cartoons ever made.
The opening always used to scare me when I was younger
5:26 BFG knows you're watching him Sophie
When I was younger this scared the shit out of me and my sister.
Omg same
Yep
Same...
I think on the whole.......I prefer Steven Spielberg's 2016 adaptation.
Such a thrill to find these videos! My elementary students chose this book for their LUNCH BUNCH selection. These were perfect to spark discussions! Love the deeper messages about honor, love, loyalty, sacredness of all life in the story!

I love this film, but parts used to scare me when I was little.
Particuarly at the start of the film.

@@dtaylor4552 si claro... conectó tanto que nadie se acuerda de esa pelicula. En España no está ni en Disney +
I love fleshlumpeater . Guy is my first first favourite movie villain
Yes it is Sir David Jason who did the voice of the BFG in this film and also did the voice of Toad in The Wind in the Willows, Dangermouse and Count Duckula.
The music in this film still gives me chills!

GOD! I remember watching this when I was younger. It used to scare me. Lol. Its weird looking back on old films you used to watch.

The opening music to this used to give me chills as a kid.
Me too
Yeah
Same
Thank you. Yes, it was a staple for me as well. A wonderful show and adaptation.
That portal scared the crap out of me as a kid!
The Doll On Sophie’s Former Bed Reminds Me Of Princess From The Raggy Dolls. LOL.
When the women shouts who's out of bed i wouldn't of answers Id just of legged it into bed
even the music and voices are bringing back so many memories, I was shit sacred of this film when I was younger... bet I still am now, it's a freakin' horror film!
I always imagined Sophie in the Cosgrove Hall film as Masie Lockwood when we see her for the first time hiding in the shadows of Lockwood Manor on the top floor of the house in Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom at the beginning of the film.
It's a mixture of both, love it. It's to make the audiance see it strange but amazed, that's the idea and it worked. To give mixed emotions.
Years later and this still gives me the creeps.
I love the fact that David Jason is the voice :) Good ol' Del Boy is the BFG.
Sir Mark Rylance portrayed a believable character in Steven Spielberg's film The BFG in 2016.
this brings back memories, i never noticed before but this film has a very "anime" charm to it, which i think works very well with the story
I love the scene of her shoving her heels in her sneakers.. Beautifully done! - omg! The opening wasn't so awful! You guys got me scared for nothing! Lol!!
The BFG is Steven Spielberg's one of his best Children's films that he brought to life on the Big Screen since E.T. The Extra Terrestrial and Hook.
That's the whole idea lol I sometimes look at this and think wow that is some imagination for an intro.
This is the first movie I ever watched. And my absolute favourite of all time.
Cartoons used to be so amazing! What happened? This movie is awesome.
I love this book just today i found out there was a movie so i decided to watch it, i read the book 7 times. Roald Dahl is an awesome writer!!!!!
I hear James Cameron's The Terminator at 7:30
I had a dream about 2016's giants. I was in the garden and found them searching for me. I tried hiding in next door's chicken pen which was rather humiliating. As soon as they weren't looking, I managed to make a run for it. Trouble is I can't remember happened to me next.
I love Roald Dahl, he was my favorite author, I've read almost every single one of his stories.
I recommend watching Steven Spielberg's adaptation of The BFG starring Sir Mark Rylance as the Big Friendly Giant and Ruby Barnhill as Sophie accompanied with the musical score by John Williams.
This film used to TERRIFY me as a child. Wait, scratch that, it's still terrifying. But sort of terrifying in a good way - I like it; it's so whimsical.
I haven't seen this movie in years. Big THANKS for posting it
Ahh! I used to LOOOOOVE this movie, but I haven't seen in in prob ten years or so! THANK YOU for posting this!! I've been wanting to watch it again for a while!
Loved Roald Dahl books! Such a great writer!
One of my childhood favorite movies has been brought back to me. Thanks.
This is the best animation I have ever seen!
this intro reminds me of dreams, or a nightmare. i think the guy who did thid really wanted to get his depiction of thr nature of dreams. and it kinda fits like that strangely. dreamatic and echo soundings
Lol i just remembered how trippy this is, Nostalgia Critic should do an ep, on this movie. thanks for upload.
Steven Spielberg did a magnificent job on The BFG and Sir Mark Rylance portrayed a believable Roald Dahl character and the musical score by composer John Williams was absolute perfection. Spielberg and Williams were meant to bring The BFG to life on the Big Screen.
When he puts the liquid in the trumpet...Why does't it fall out the other end? xD
I didn't know this movie existed until about 30 minutes ago!! Thanks for uploading it, I loved the book as a kid.
Jeeeeeez.. Goosebumps from the music at 6:10... completely involuntary! Just brought back so many memories. Great job uploading the whole thing. =D
Ever seen the 2016 adaptation by Steven Spielberg withthe music composed by John Williams? That film I highly recommend watching
wow I saw this movie as a little kid in the cinema, can't believe I've finally found it again!
This was a direct to DVD film.
Steven Spielberg brought it to life on the Big Screen starring Sir Mark Rylance as the BFG and Ruby Barnhill as Sophie accompanied with the musical score by John Williams, and I think The BFG is one of Steven Spielberg's best Children's films he has ever worked on since E.T. The Extra Terrestrial and Hook.
It's funny how big the BFG looks in that village but he's like a midget in Giant Country seeing all the others are like twice his size.
Best cartoon film ever made.
R.Dahl's books were literary gold... The man is, and always will be, the best children's author (in my opinion)...
I loved this film as a kid! I remember bringing my family's vhs to school for my elementary school class to watch after we finished reading the book. :)
I was terrified of the breathing/footsteps at the start of this movie when i was a child... I was 4 years old when i first saw it.
The breathing and the footsteps made me think of a T-Rex.
Is it bad that I actually find the intro part to be quite trippy? :')
Na. I feel like it's going into a black hole
Watch the Steven Spielberg film, I seriously recommend it.
Watched this opening as soon as I picked up grass, best decision ever
I'm 13 now, and i havent watched this since i was about 7. Reason being, my video player stared to eat all the videos i put into it (by ate i mean, pulled all the film out), and i would always watch it till to end and the rewind it and play again. ive got a habit of it even today. only nows its DVD's for me. luckily tho, my mums friend has got a working video player, and she says i can have it. so i can again watch all my fave disney vids tht were passed down to me from my big bro and sis x
Ever seen Steven Spielberg's live action film starring Sir Mark Rylance and Ruby Barnhill with the musical by John Williams?
Oh my God, it's Del Boy Trotter! :)
Awesome book, awesome movie - didn't know that David Jason provided Voice for BFG :)
The intro has a sort of Doctor Who feel to it as the fiery tunnel looks a bit like the time vortex. Has anyone thought a Tardis was gonna fly in this? lol
Imagine If BBC Reused The Intro for a doctor who title sequence lol
The Intro music sounds and looks very.........Gallifreyan.
Jon pertwee was originally going to voice the BFG, sadly he turned it down but instead it went to David Jason
@@alexmacleod3728 I didn't know that.

i remember back in like the third or fourth grade our teacher would read this book to us and i remember how awesome i thought it was.
i read this in third grade and then we saw the movie so....after reading it again i just HAD 2 look this up
I remember I had this on ether dvd or vhs at my grans and watched it all the time
The intro music sounds........Gallifreyan.
i used to cry at this bit when i was little i would get so scared hhaha
Loved this film in my youth!
You really need to watch this in the dark on a VHS tape, makes a perfect atmosphere.
Ever seen the live action film by Steven Spielberg with the music composed by John Williams? Now that film I highly recommend watching.
I love the way he runs...and then he flies, so magical, a perfect kid's dream.
I recommend watching Steven Spielberg's adaptation starring Sir Mark Rylance and Ruby Barnhill.
this was by far one of the scariest films i ever saw as a child, that hooded cape is too creepy
it's wonderful how he controls the acceleration of his hand while running.
A human body would be shattered if he runs normally
It's funny how she doesn't try running away when the BFG spots her watching him. I know in this version she barely has a second to react but in the live action movie she has more than enough time to react
I used to read this book constantly when I was a little child. I adored it....I wonder if I still have it.
Thanks for the post! Great memories.
i've been looking for this for literally 7 years thank you so much for posting this!!!
I heart readin the BFG. Imagine if he and the Doctor from Dr Who met, I wonder how that would go down
I always imagined The BFG meeting Harry Potter because Giants do appear in the Wizarding World.
I remember watching this movie when I was in 2nd grade including reading the book. Now I'm 16 and a junior in high school. I miss my childhood, including this movie :)
I saw it in 1st grade.
I think i remember as i child watching this alot, but parts with the giants soo scary!
wow I imagined the BFG as looking much friendlier... he looks kind of scary.
That intro music just reminded me of how creepy I found this film. It's one of my absolute favourites from when I was a child and I'm so glad I've been reunited with it!
I personally prefer the soundtrack by John Williams in Steven Spielberg's film The BFG starring Sir Mark Rylance and Ruby Barnhill.
This has got to be my all time favourite film, it's just so ...
I read the book and fell in love with this! Rold Dahl is a favorite of mine for three years now. ;~)
Well it may be cause Ive grown up to me a metalhead but this was my fav film as a kid n it never once scared me.
i just finished the book....its funny!! i love the whizpopping chapter.....my mom posted the whizpopping part on her facebook...every one is like "What were you drinking last night" and "i want one" and "abby needs to stop reading all together!"
Gosh, ive loved this film since i was a kid :)
Ever seen Steven Spielberg's 2016 film starring Sir Mark Rylance and Ruby Barnhill with the musical score by John Williams? That film I highly recommend is worth watching.
my brother has this theroary that my dad is slowly beginning to look like the BFG so ii HAD to watch it bcs it reminded me of how much i loved it :)
I loved this movie when I was a kid, and I
loved the book too :). Oddly enough, it
didn't scare me. Perhaps I'd had plenty of
stories with giants by that time or
something. This was the first one I'd ever
heard of with a friendly giant though :).
Funny how the ominous music is played for the protagonist's entrance (one who is revealed to have a heart of gold)
I prefer the soundtrack by John Williams in Steven Spielberg's film starring Sir Mark Rylance and Ruby Barnhill.
@@dtaylor4552 no
The BFG talks like a cross between Yoda and Gollum haha =)
I watched this film everyday when I was a kid and I wished that I would get to go to giant country one day.
i remember as a kid i had this movie on vhs id watch it every day
this bit used to scare me as a kid
*Cries* I loved this show as a kid and I'm going to send it to my older sister who's 20 now. She absolutely loved the BFG and I couldn't find this anywhere at all!! Thank you so much for putting it on youtube for people like me!!! Thanks!!
This movie scared the crap out of me when i was little. Who came up with the idea of that weird credits intro with the creepy music?
I have always loved this movie, watching it as a kid. Its so original. The book is just as good, equally as funny- you got to love Roald Dahl for his imaginative work.
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE ROANLD DHAL FOR MAKING THIS BOOK
@GuysSeriously - I think that's because of how kids rationalise, Aliens happened in space/on another world, this happened on Earth, and as a kid, you fear a giant could come after you to eat you.
The big is great .And I watch it in my school when I was little
.
thanks alot for uploading. wanted to watch this again. must of been about 8 years ago i watched this last
thank you so much for uploading! you just saved my school project !
Giants were real years ago awesome
I love the way The BFG walks through the town. The is a very good opening.
This brings back so many memories :) But the intro used to scare me a little bit! D: I used to watch this when I was tiny :3 x
they should remake this. And make it more kid friendly.
This movie used to scare the shit out of me.... It still kinda does!!
the reason why there are some changes from the book is for movie makers own interpretation of the story
I like the stories of this...
Holy shit, the bit where the BFG popped up in the middle of the road scared the crap outta me!
I so hope that BFG doesnt have BFG 9000, as his side arm.
