SOPHIE
CHARACTER OVERVIEW:
Sophie may be, as the BFG says, "only a tiny little girl," but she is resilient and very brave. Sophie takes adventures in her stride and isn't afraid to stick up for others, no matter how different to her they might be.
ABOUT PROPERTY:
The story of the BFG and his unlikely companion Sophie has been entrancing audiences for decades, with 29 million copies of the book sold since its release in 1982. The 2016 BAFTA nominated film adaptation directed by Steven Spielberg gained a global box office of $195 million. Previous licensing partnerships have included Kipling, McDonalds and Winning Moves. The BFG has had widespread cultural impact, so much so that three of the BFG’s “Gobblefunk” words have been added to the Oxford English Dictionary. It is the most “scrumdiddlyumptious” story.
