The BFG (1989)

Animated adaptation of Rolad Dahl children's book about a big friendly giant. I had this book read to me in 3rd grade, and have found memories of it which this movie certainly stirred. I remember it as a talkie book though, which is a little awkward in the adaption, especially in the first half. The sequences with the Queen are interesting in part because they are really trying to do an animated Elizabeth II, it looks vaguely rotoscoped and slightly awkward. The film unfortunately does not leave much of an impression, its not bad, its just kind of there. My nephew really liked it though. **
