From phizzwizard Steven Spielberg comes the fantasy epic The BFG. Based on a rummytot book by Roald Dahl, an orphan named Sophie is kidnapped by a giant and taken to his home in giant country, but eventually the two become friends and work together to stop a group of man-eating giants from ravaging England.

It starts out fairly well and the characters are rather interesting, but before long it trogglehuppers and then completely falls apart in the last act. And the animation isn't integrated with the physical actors very well, resulting in some awkward movements and uncanny valleys.

Unfortunately, The BFG is a jumpsquiffling mess that's very fun or magical.
