Directed by Tomomi Mochizuki, the film features the voices of Nobuo Tobita, Toshihiko Seki, Yoko Sakamoto, Kae Araki and Yuri Amano.

6 New Clips for Steven Spielberg's THE BFG

Steven Spielberg's new family film "The BFG" is now in theaters. The critics offered mostly positive reviews for the film, although some had more mixed opinions about it. While the film clearly succeeds as family-friendly entertainment, some reviewers complained about the downplaying of Roald Dahl's book's darker elements, while others went straight for strong words like "boring" and "uninspiring", which I personally feel are a bit too much.

The film stars Ruby Barnhill, Mark Rylance, Rebecca Hall, Jemaine Clement, Penelope Wilton and Bill Hader.
