Last night we travelled to London

To Leicester Square

To see a special screening of The BFG

Esther and William were so excited

We all wanted to see how one of our favourite books

Would look on the big screen

Esther and William were very pleased that the film opened

With a London scene

That’s right, Mummy

The story is set in London

They instantly recognised Sophie

A fabulous character played brilliantly

It is impossible not to like her

And want to be her

The story starts quickly

We did not have to wait long

Before catching our first glimpse

Of The Big Friendly Giant

I love Mark Rylance

The voice of Bing

And he was fabulous in Wolf Hall

I could not wait to see his portrayal of The BFG

He was everything I hoped that he would be and more

The Big Friendly Giant

Played with warmth and humour

Love and a little loneliness

Shone through every twinkle of his eye

He was tender

And caring

And wonderfully confuddled and confused

You just wanted to hug him

And be his friend

The film is beautifully made

With just the right levels of

Humour, fear and frivolity

I absolutely loved when Sophie and The BFG

Met Her Majester The Queenie

The special effects throughout the film

Were very clever

And really brought Roald Dahl’s

Wonderful story to life

Esther and William loved the sequences when

BFG leaped and jumped to Giant Country

We all laughed at The BFG

Hiding in the shadows

Around London at night

We laughed at BFG’s funny wrds

And joined in with Sophie telling him what the proper words should be

William thought all the whizz poppers were hilarious

Especially when Her Majester’s corgis

Propel themselves across the palace floor

The other giants are quite menacing

But they are also quite funny

Esther and William get very emotionally entangle with movies

And they were not too frightened at any point of the film

So I think that the levels of fun and fear and wholesome morals

Are just right for this family movie

We really did love every moment of it

I loved the dream tree

I love the idea of catching dreams

Rather like shooting stars

But all the colours of the rainbow

The dream sequence was magical

The whole film has an air of wonder

And though a story

You do wonder if parts of it might just be true

David told Esther that The BFG is not real

But she does not believe him

She is choosing instead

To think that maybe, just maybe

Somewhere not too far from here

There is a Big Friendly Giant

Who is helping her have magnificent, beautiful, funny old dreams

Who is listening to all the wonders of the world

Hearts beating

Ants marching

Ladybirds dancing

Whispers of the wind

Tales of the trees

If your children love magic

If your children dream

If they love Roald Dahl or are you looking for a way to introduce them to his work

Go and see The BFG this summer

Huddle up close with your loved ones

“Let your love out”

And watch soemthing so scrumdiddlyumptious

You will want to see it again and again and again

The BFG

Brilliantly funny

Family friendly

Got to be seen to be believed

“We is in Dream Country,’ the BFG said. ‘This is where all dreams is beginning.”

This is where all dreams is beginning
