Synopsis

The story of a little orphan named Sophie, who spies a huge, cloaked figure roaming around one night. He whisks her off to the Land of the Giants, where he reveals he is the only kind giant in a bunch of savage people-eaters.

Their subsequent attempts to stop the bad giants from eating any more people are an absolute delight, and the movie does the book justice in this respect.
