Yeah I think it could have only helped to have just called it The Big Friendly Giant. Then no one would have been confused.
I agree. But, I do kinda like that they’re saying “That’s the name of the book, that’s the name of the movie”. Not like they’re taking some kind of stand or anything, but I can appreciate that they’re sticking to the original title. I didn’t know it was based on anything until Bing’s post.
Still, titling the movie The Big Friendly Giant and then referring to him as “The B.F.G.” in the movie would be better, I think.
