- The 1989 Cosgrove Hall film, based on Roald Dahl's book.
One dark night, an orphan named Sophie is snatched from her bed by a giant, and whisked away to another world. Fortunately, her abductor is the Big Friendly Giant (BFG for short), a likeable guy who spends his time giving good dreams to children. He's also the only one of his species who doesn't eat humans, but as the smallest and weakest, he's powerless to stop his brutal neighbors. As long as Fleshlumpeater, Bloodbottler, and all the rest are free, Sophie will never be safe, so she and the BFG concoct a plan to stop the evil giants and save humanity - once and for all!
This movie was a staple of my childhood, and in my opinion, it's one of the best adaptations of Dahl's work. Enjoy! - Фільми й анімація
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.
It's so haunting.. especially the beginning, with the music and all. I was terrified as a kid for those evil giants!
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.
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 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
one of the best cartoons ever made.
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.
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 !
The music in this film still gives me chills!
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.
The opening music to this used to give me chills as a kid.
Me too
Yeah
Same
I love this film, but parts used to scare me when I was little.
Particuarly at the start of the film.
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.
@@dtaylor4552 your talking out your ass you have no idea what your onabout
@@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
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.
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.
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.
When the women shouts who's out of bed i wouldn't of answers Id just of legged it into bed
The opening always used to scare me when I was younger
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!
Years later and this still gives me the creeps.
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.
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 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.
R.Dahl's books were literary gold... The man is, and always will be, the best children's author (in my opinion)...
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
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 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.
I didn't know this movie existed until about 30 minutes ago!! Thanks for uploading it, I loved the book as a kid.
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.
*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 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.
Holy cow!!!
I never seen the ending of this movie!!!
(Of course I read the book to find out)
But now I can see the ENDING!!!
Thank you for uploading this!!!
5 STARS
I recommend watching The Steven Spielberg film.
This is the first movie I ever watched. And my absolute favourite of all time.
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.
I am just grateful that Steven Spielberg directed The BFG because he has had the ability to connect with children on the big screen for many years, 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, creepy shadows, Gothic horror, grotesque, gruesome and grisly images, the ugly and the sinister and blood and gore from his previous films like Sleepy Hollow and Sweeney Todd.
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
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 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 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.
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
it's wonderful how he controls the acceleration of his hand while running.
A human body would be shattered if he runs normally
This is the best animation I have ever seen!
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE ROANLD DHAL FOR MAKING THIS BOOK
Oh my God, it's Del Boy Trotter! :)
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.
I haven't seen this movie in years. Big THANKS for posting it
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
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.
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
i've been looking for this for literally 7 years thank you so much for posting this!!!
This has got to be my all time favourite film, it's just so ...
I've been looking for this movie forever. I did a random search and someone finally decided to seek it. So I was able to find it. It was one of my faves. Brought it to my mind again tonight with my nephew watching "the iron giant. "
this was by far one of the scariest films i ever saw as a child, that hooded cape is too creepy
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.
This movie used to scare the shit out of me.... It still kinda does!!
thank you so much for uploading! you just saved my school project !
i used to cry at this bit when i was little i would get so scared hhaha
I watched this film everyday when I was a kid and I wished that I would get to go to giant country one day.
One of my childhood favorite movies has been brought back to me. Thanks.
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.
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 think i remember as i child watching this alot, but parts with the giants soo scary!
Last year, my teacher had this book on her desk. We thought it was
the BFG-..... the big f***ing giraffe
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 remember I had this on ether dvd or vhs at my grans and watched it all the time
The intro music sounds........Gallifreyan.
Giants were real years ago awesome
When I was younger and had read that book in 4th grade, I got nightmares of being eaten by one of those giants. I slept on the floor in my sleeping bag, on the other side of my bed out of sight away from the window. xD
Best cartoon film ever made.
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
Cartoons used to be so amazing! What happened? This movie is awesome.
I love this movie
Me too
My Favourite Movies are this and The Goonies.
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 :).
5:26 BFG knows you're watching him Sophie
Thank you. Yes, it was a staple for me as well. A wonderful show and adaptation.
I read the book and fell in love with this! Rold Dahl is a favorite of mine for three years now. ;~)
they just dont make films or soundtracks like this anymore..
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.
I wish I could find a soundtrack of some of the background music.
open.spotify.com/album/2jFzoLRU6sKuMWuKHfBREx -you can even get it on Compact Disc! It's a wonderful soundtrack with many ethereal, prog rock inspired motifs and one of my faves!
theres an ost of it on youtube now!
I hear the opening credits of James Cameron's 1984 film The Terminator starring Arnold Schwarzenegger at 1:36, 7:22 and 7:30.
This was quite a 80s like opening since the film was released in 1987.
I love the music in this film!
Same
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.
That portal scared the crap out of me as a kid!
I love the way The BFG walks through the town. The is a very good opening.
Yeah, it certainly has some freaky momnts. The part I find the scariest is when the Fleshlumpeater eats that kid. Still sends chills down my spine... But hey, it's still a great kids film, ain't it? :D
Agreed ^^
@@netherfreakultima4498 His claw like fingernail reminds me of Spinosaurus and Baryonyx.
i grew up on this book and never had a clue there was a movie! thanks for uploading :D
i remember watching this i read the book all the time
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.
Watched this when I was 8, the animation is stunning to this day. It's a shame it's all been replaced by Flash animation.
The big is great .And I watch it in my school when I was little
.
"I spots what you is thinking!" xD Gotta love the BFG
"There are MORE of you?" "Yeah well. Fleshlumpeater, Bonecruncher, Manhugger, Childchewer, Meatdripper, Gizzardgulper Maidmasher, Bloodbottler...." "Bloodbottler??" "..... Yeah, and the Butcher-Boy" "The Butcher-Boy??!!.......P-please don't eat me!!!" "Me? You thinks because I is a Giant that I is a man-gobbling Cannyable?" - Chuckles - "Me? Gobbling up Human Beans?, do you mind? This I never." From The BFG by Steven Spielberg starring Sir Mark Rylance and Ruby Barnhill.
Roald Dahl liked scaring kids with his stories - he always said that kids are alot smarter than people give them credit for and know the things in his stories exist in the real world, so what is the point in hiding it from them.
What actually creeps me out is that my favorite story of his (The BFG) involves kidnapping, cannibalism, murder and binge drinking (the solider @ the end of the book) lol !
i love how both top comments are about the same thing. i love this movie! i read the book first i didnt know a movie existed till later though
man, i love the book so much, besides matilda it my fav by Roald Dahl
one of my best loved childhood books and films :D thankyou so much for uploading!
also couldnt have picked a better voice than David Jasons :D
Mark Rylance portrayed a believable character in Steven Spielberg's film.
Thanks for uploading this!
Omg i remember this when i was a kid, Somthing about dreams, millitary fighting giants, the big friendly giant. oh and somthing about flatulants. Cant wait to rejog my memmories.
love the soundtrack sadly one was never released :(
FL3NK FREERADICAL LAMPSHADE Same here :( I’m sure there is a way to extract the music from a certain scene and create a sound file, I’m still asking around how to do it and trying to learn :-)
@AJB3 You did? Where? 😃
It's on Deezer
I personally prefer the soundtrack by John Williams in the Steven Spielberg film starring Sir Mark Rylance and Ruby Barnhill.
Yeah theres an OST playlist on youtube now, its got ALL the background songs, its amazing
In My Opinion:
*If A Film Can Do The Book Material Justice It’s A Good Movie*
*This Movie Did Just That*
Awesome book, awesome movie - didn't know that David Jason provided Voice for BFG :)
