Quotes
Sophie:
Why did you take me?
The BFG:
Because I hears your lonely heart, in all the secret whisperings of the world.
Goofs
[French version only] The tags on the dream bottles are translated in French. However, after Sophie comes back to Giant Country, we see a close-up shot of the bottles with French dream titles and a couple of shots later, the titles seen in the background are in English.
