The BFG explains to Sophie that giants are afraid of only one person - Jack from the fairy tale ''Jack and the Beanstalk,'' where a giant is killed. Voiced by Michael Knowles and Ballard Berkeley in the 1989 film and portrayed by Chris Shields and Matt Frewer in the 2016 film. The BFG has won numerous awards including the 1985 Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis as the year's best children's book, in its German translation Sophiechen und der Riese [16] and the 1991 Read Alone and Read Aloud BILBY Awards from the Children's Book Council of Australia. Every country that the giants had visited in the past sends thanks and gifts to the BFG and Sophie, for whom residences are built in Windsor Great Park.

When the BFG stopped catching dreams early because of a trogglehumper, or nightmare, Sophie can see that the BFG is a sensitive giant.

The BFG becomes the ball in a game of toss, as each of the other giants tries to launch him higher into the air.Inside his mouth lived a "jet black" tongue textured like a slab of meat, salivating for the next meal of two or three children at a time.

They vary their choice of destination both to avoid detection and because the humans' origins affect their taste. The BFG, published in 1982, is another one of his stories which is popular for its unique ability to bring the world of imagination to life. The BFG is a story about a girl, Sophie, who the BFG — Big Friendly Giant — steals out of her bed at the orphanage. Not only does he scream and wail when he dreams of the human Jack from Jack and the Beanstalk, but he panics in fear when Sophie jabs him in the ankle with the pin of her brooch to save a soldier. He’s even an anti-capitalist (he turns down a lucrative zoo gig, because he knows the zoo industry is rife with exploitation).It was published in the Mail on Sunday and originally a straight adaptation, with scripts accepted by Roald Dahl himself.
