The giant captures her and takes her to his residence in Giant Country. He tells Sophie that he took her so that she would never reveal the existence of giants to anyone. The giant creates a nightmare to prevent her from escaping, fearing she might be eaten by larger giants. Sophie is nearly discovered by Fleshlumpeater, the leader of the man-eating giants, but the elderly giant drives Fleshlumpeater away with a foul vegetable known as the snozzcumber. She persuades the elderly giant to take her to Dream Country. They accidentally awaken the other giants, and after Bloodbottler suggests they "frolic", they bully the friendly giant. A thunderstorm drives the man-eating giants into their cave, but Fleshlumpeater finds Sophie's blanket. In Dream Country, Sophie and the friendly giant catch good and bad dreams. The giant reveals that his only name – besides "Runt", the other giants' nickname for him – is "the Big Friendly Giant", which leads Sophie to call him "BFG". She accompanies him to London for his nightly work: using his dream trumpet to spread good dreams to sleeping children. They return to Giant Country just as the other giants have departed to go eat the children worldwide. The BFG realizes that Sophie has lost her blanket, exposing her presence to the other giants, and leaves her outside her orphanage. Revealing that his last human companion liked to read, and even taught The BFG how to read, but sadly was discovered and eaten by the giants, he is unwilling to endanger Sophie and departs. Unafraid, Sophie jumps off her balcony hoping he will appear again to catch her, and he does. They return to the BFG's workshop and the other giants barge in, hunting for Sophie. They destroy much of the BFG's work, but Sophie evades detection and the BFG drives them off with a hot iron. Sophie finds the home of the last human to live with the BFG, with a portrait of <a href="/wiki/Queen_Victoria" title="Queen Victoria">Queen Victoria</a> among his belongings. This inspires her to devise a plan: to forge a nightmare for <a href="/wiki/Elizabeth_II" title="Elizabeth II">Elizabeth II</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Monarchy_of_the_United_Kingdom" title="Monarchy of the United Kingdom">Queen of the United Kingdom</a>, about giants eating the children of England, the British Army fighting the giants, and Sophie appearing to her. Sophie and the BFG go to <a href="/wiki/Buckingham_Palace" title="Buckingham Palace">Buckingham Palace</a> and deliver the nightmare to the sleeping Queen. Upon waking, the Queen and members of her staff Mary and Mr Tibbs find Sophie on the windowsill. She introduces them to the BFG, explaining that the child-eating giants are real and must be stopped. At a large breakfast, the BFG shares his favourite drink, <a href="/wiki/Flatulence" title="Flatulence">flatulence</a>-inducing "frobscottle", and he and Sophie lead the Queen's soldiers to Giant Country. The BFG plans to ambush the man-eating giants with a nightmare but has forgotten his dream trumpet. Sophie carries the nightmare herself into the midst of the giants and is confronted by Fleshlumpeater. She releases the nightmare which consumes the giants with guilt, except the Fleshlumpeater (who intercepts and destroys his), and they are caught by military helicopters. Carried away to an isolated island, the giants are left with only "snozzcumbers" seeds to plant. Sophie gets adopted by Mary, comes to live in the Queen's palace, and awakens from a dream of the BFG, who returns to his life in Giant Country and writes the story of their adventure. She speaks to him whenever she feels lonely; at his home, the BFG hears her words and smiles. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=The_BFG_(2016_film)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast">edit</a>]</div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Mark_Rylance" title="Mark Rylance">Mark Rylance</a> as the Big Friendly Giant (BFG), an elderly, benevolent 24-foot <a href="/wiki/Giant" title="Giant">giant</a>.

But I can imagine other adults loving the film for helping them remember what it's like to be young enough to hide from a movie monster because he's big and weird-looking and then laugh because he's kind of silly..."<a href="#cite_note-79">[79]</a> <a href="/wiki/Todd_McCarthy" title="Todd McCarthy">Todd McCarthy</a> of <a href="/wiki/The_Hollywood_Reporter" title="The Hollywood Reporter">The Hollywood Reporter</a> compared the film negatively to Spielberg's <a href="/wiki/E.T._the_Extra-Terrestrial" title="E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial">E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial</a>, as a "conspicuously less captivating, magical and transporting experience than its classic forebear."<a href="#cite_note-80">[80]</a> Peter Debruge of <a href="/wiki/Variety_(magazine)" title="Variety (magazine)">Variety</a>, however, compared the film favorably to E.T., writing, "this splendid Steven Spielberg-directed adaptation makes it possible for audiences of all ages to wrap their heads around one of the unlikeliest friendships in cinema history, resulting in the sort of instant family classic “human beans” once relied upon Disney to deliver."<a href="#cite_note-81">[81]</a> <a href="/wiki/A._O._Scott" title="A.

Scott</a> of <a href="/wiki/The_New_York_Times" title="The New York Times">The New York Times</a> praised the film's digital effects and visual style as "exquisite", though he felt that the film lacked the excitement found in Spielberg's previous fantasy films.<a href="#cite_note-82">[82]</a> <a href="/wiki/Richard_Brody" title="Richard Brody">Richard Brody</a> of <a href="/wiki/The_New_Yorker" title="The New Yorker">The New Yorker</a> stating that it "plays like a forced march of fun, a mandatory strain of magic and a prescribed dose of poetry, like a movie ready-made for screening in classrooms when a teacher is absent." Brody, however, observes that "Spielberg is the BFG who's menaced by bigger and more monstrous giants who aren't interested in edifying their audiences but merely in consuming them—consuming the consumer, so to speak."<a href="#cite_note-83">[83]</a> <a href="/wiki/Richard_Roeper" title="Richard Roeper">Richard Roeper</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Chicago_Sun-Times" title="Chicago Sun-Times">Chicago Sun-Times</a> called the film "technically impressive but listless and tedious... painfully cutesy, silly and gross rather than whimsical and funny." He thought that the film moved far too slowly and was missing a "sense of wonder and adventure", saying that he'd "rather see every one of Spielberg's previous films before having to sit through The BFG again".<a href="#cite_note-84">[84]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Accolades">Accolades</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=The_BFG_(2016_film)&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: Accolades">edit</a>]</div> <table class="wikitable sortable" style="font-size:small;"> <tbody><tr style="background:#ccc;
