If The BFG hit the spot, these will too

Two things both keep coming back to: orphan and live action remake

Epic where it counts, warm underneath

Both are built on the same subject: orphan

Cozy and dreamlike in the same breath
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

Epic adventure in both cases

Family with a pulse of warmth, in both cases
The difference: Easier on the scale than The BFG

The same preoccupation in both: queen

Both keep coming back to the same thing: live action remake

Cozy fantasy, and it commits to that

Both lean on dream logic more than on adventure

Family built on scale, twice over

One thread runs through both: giant
The difference: Leans harder into drama than The BFG does
