THE BFG
CHARACTER OVERVIEW:
The Big Friendly Giant may be the smallest of all the giants in Giant Country, but he is also the kindest. An unlikely gentle soul, the BFG shows us that being unique is wonderful. Speaking a peculiar language of his own creation - Gobblefunk - the BFG is creative and funny, but most of all loveable.
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.
