Big Friendly Giant.
The kid is a girl.
Saw the cartoon a few months ago - it was a bit long, but an okay movie. It could probably have been edited a bit for pacing as it was a little slow. Definitely a slight bit scary. Just hope they keep the fart song.

Re: Steven Spielberg's The BFG
I associate "BFG" with this movie. I had never heard of the cartoon that this new movie supposedly is a remake of.

I think it is a book. This new movie may not be a remake of the cartoon, but perhaps a new adaption of the book.

Wish they would have taken a more creative route towards bringing the BFG and the other giants to life on screen. This has the same weightless rubbery look as movies like Alice in Wonderland, the Lovely Bones, Pan, etc. May as well have just gone full animation and made the girl GC too. I wish they would have looked at this property as if they were making it in the 80s, used miniatures and forced perspective/compositing, had a real actor in makeup as the BFG, and actually make these "magical" worlds tangible. We've seen this all before, no one wonders "wow how did they do that". I will always give major props to the actual artists who animate this stuff, but I still don't appreciate the overuse and over reliance on it.

There was a considerable amount of physical sets and props (including forced perspctive and miniatures) built for this film, you just don't realize it.

honestly I was probably unfairly judging this movie, and was feeling a little bogged down by a lot of over usage of CGI in general when I first posted it. I still would have liked a real actor as the BFG, but I didn't mean to be so harsh towards it in particular.

I know how you feel, though in this case, Mark Rylance (Bridge of Spies) used motion capture technology. The facial features of BFG were mapped off of his face, just aged and exaggerated.
