* BrokenAesop: Although the BFG likens the Giants' eating of humans to the humans' eating of animals, it doesn't stop him tucking into ham and eggs. Even though he brings up pigs as a specific example.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The movie has what is arguably one of the most beautiful scores to be heard in an animated film, courtesy of composers Keith Hopwood and Malcolm Rowe. Notable examples are when the BFG makes the nightmare for the queen and when the BFG leads the RAF to Giant Country. Pretty funny, considering that Keith Hopwood was one of the members of Herman's Hermits. Despite considerable demand, however, the soundtrack was not officially released until 2016.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: All versions of this story have the friendship between the main characters being portrayed as organic, yet more than a passing viewer couldn't help but wonder if Sophie is in fact suffering from StockholmSyndrome. Given that she is snatched away in the middle of the night by a large shadowy creature that she is (understandably) terrified of and is under the impression he is going to devour her... suffice to say their reasoning isn't entirely preposterous.

Someone's death in real life isn't normally hindsight because we all die someday. It would only be this trope if the Queen was somehow eaten, which she obviously wasn't.
