WHIMSICAL KIDS MEDIA FIGHT, GO!

All propaganda and what each competitor is from under the cut

Sophie (The BFG)

One night at the orphanage, as she's not sleeming, Sophie witnesses a strange event : a geant is using a trumpet to give the children nice dreams ! Sophie goes on adventures with him and discover his life, which is both sad and marvellous. The BFG eats unsavory food (but also drinks a funny and tasty beverage) and creates custom made dreams for kids. During her stay with him, the curious and brave Sophie learns that the BFG's brothers are terrifying children eaters much bigger and stronger than him and the two of them set to protect kids from the other giants, going on a fantastic trip

The Apple Siblings (My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic)

Fun fact: they accidentally got orphaned because of a PUN. Other than the three Apple siblings; the only other pony that lives on Sweet Apple Acres is named Granny Smith. Every brony on the planet then concluded that their parents were dead. AND NO ONE QUESTIONED IT. It was eventually confirmed in 2017 in the episode "The Perfect Pear," but still; shit's wild. I'm pretty sure this wasn't intentional on Lauren Faust's/the early writers' part, but it's pretty funny in hindsight.

Found Family Tournament Round 1 Part 17 Group 85

Propaganda and further pictures under the cut

Tiny Giant Duo: Sophie and the BFG

Greendale 7: Jeff Winger, Britta Perry, Abed Nadir, Troy Barnes, Pierce Hawthorne, Shirley Bennet, Annie Edison

Submissions are still open!

Tiny Giant Duo:

Sorry, I got no propaganda for them yet :(

Greendale 7:

they are so stupid together and they were all normal human beings in the beggining but as time went on they just kept being more like themselves and went even insane-er and even the dumbest combinations of people in the group is just so much like different people within a family interacting ,,, I hope to find that kind of family to myself one day

they are all toxic people who form a very dysfunctional family and kind of learn to be better thanks to each other. i love them dearly

Captured by a giant! The BFG is no ordinary bone-crunching giant. He is far too nice and jumbly. It's lucky for Sophie that he is. Had she been carried off in the middle of the night by the Bloodbottler, the Fleshlumpeater, the Bonecruncher, or any of the other giants-rather than the BFG-she would have soon become breakfast. When Sophie hears that they are flush-bunking off in England to swollomp a few nice little chiddlers, she decides she must stop them once and for all. And the BFG is going to help her!

I’m sorry but the ghosts watching the BFG and then everyone else realising the parallels between Kitty and the Captain and Sophie and the BFG b it nobody wants to point it out because the Captain definitely wouldn’t take a comparison to the BFG positively. Or maybe I just really enjoy father-daughter dynamics…

The BFG (2016, Steven Spielberg)

13/03/2024

The BFG is a 2016 film directed by Steven Spielberg.

The first film directed by Spielberg to be produced and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures, it is the film adaptation of the 1982 novel The BFG written by Roald Dahl, already brought to the big screen with the 1989 animated film The BFG.

In a London orphanage, in the middle of the night, the orphan Sophie Tibbs can't sleep. Once they arrive in the giant's cave, in a place protected by the fog of the north sea of the United Kingdom, the Land of Giants, Sophie, terrified, tries to escape.

Sophie decides to desist from escaping from the land of the Giants, learning of their customs: the good giant shows her how he must feed on disgusting Snozzcumber, the only food existing in their land besides human flesh, which are the raw material for preparing Frobscottle, a bizarre sparkling green drink consumed by all the giants, in which the bubbles go down instead of up and which therefore causes flatulence.

Finding a photo of Queen Victoria in Jack's lair, Sophie comes up with a plan to get rid of the giants. She then asks the BFG to create a dream for Queen Elizabeth II: in the dream, the queen will see their adventure so far and will know that, when she wakes up, she will see a little girl and a peaceful giant at the window who will help her stop the evil giants who decided that night to eat several children in orphanages.

The first attempts to make a big-screen adaptation of the novel The BFG were made in 1991, when producers Frank Marshall and Kathleen Kennedy tried to involve Paramount Pictures. In 1998, the spouses Robin Swicord and Nicholas Kazan wrote a screenplay for a possible film, thinking of Robin Williams in the main role of the BFG. In 2001 the screenplay was rewritten by Gwyn Lurie with the approval of the Dahl foundation.

In September 2011, DreamWorks announced that it had purchased the film to the book; Kennedy and Marshall are confirmed as producers, and Melissa Mathison is brought in to write the screenplay. In April 2014, Steven Spielberg was announced as director. In March 2015, Walden Media announced its role as co-financier and co-producer of the film.

Wait, didn't Once Upon a Time have a whole spinoff show about Alice in Wonderland? Did they bring that cast into the main show?

short answer Yes they did, no they didn't

long answer, OUAT in wonderland flopped so bad that they didnt really ever talk about it again in OUAT. and idk why they decided to use alice again for season 7 but they did. So to get around it, S7 alice is kinda but not really Wish!Alice, she's not technically from the wish realm (a kinda parallel version of the enchanted forest), but she IS the daughter of Wish Realm!Hook (and mother gothel) so. thats the reasoning for that i guess

she also serves as an allegory for [checks notes], rapunzel (but they do have an actual rapunzel in the show), sophie from the BFG, and russell the dog from UP.

this alice's whole thing is that shes not Just From Wonderland, which means they dont really ever mention anything wonderland related at all.

they never discuss the original alice. whose younger version was played by pre-ST millie bobby brown btw. ouat truly launching careers fr

i have no idea just how much the characters differ (i imagine quite a lot), i never watched the spin off because even i have to draw a line, but either way season 7 alice sweeeep

love her. love her so much. people who didnt watch season 7 are weak and will not survive the winter

#one thing about me is u can ask me a 5 word question about ouat and i will painstakingly describe every detail of the answer in 3 paragraphs

Damn I’d do anything to be Sophie in the BFG. Sitting in a giants hand and convincing the British army to attack child-eaters by haunting the queen and drinking fizzy drinks where the bubbles fall down instead of up is a dream

#This was based purely on memory #I remember reading this book in one day on this cozy chair full of sunlight #Ronald dahl #Ronald Dahl was kinda fucked but DAMN he wrote some good shit #Side note timothee chalamet does NOT have the right voice to play Willy wonka #The bfg #books #stories #giants #the queen #damn I miss the queen and I’m American

Here I am posting twice in one day! Oops! 🤪

So I need to get something off my chest, I’m pretty forgiving when it comes to book to movie adaptations, because I get that movies and books are different medias and all that jazz which is why there are only 3 movies that I don’t like which are based on books.

1. Miss Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children

For context here, here is a lovely work of art that is not mine and all credit should go to whoever made this, that shows how the characters are in the book.

Now you might saying “But oh! Olive has the fire powers not Emma.” And there you would be wrong, and no Olive doesn’t get with Enoch they didn’t switch that, Olive was a little girl in the books. Anyway all I want to say is there could have been more adapted and these books really don’t lend themselves to a sort of family friendly kids movie adaptation because..

The fucking Hollowgasts are brutal, Jacob nearly gets pushed off of a roof by his “friend,” Enoch’s ability was not just animating dead things like a puppet they actually came back and were super terrifying, and the reason why they keep Victors body is a little more morbid. All I am saying is that this book was a lot more mature and could have been easily adapted for older audiences.

2. The BFG

Now I love the BFG, as in the book, I think it’s cute it’s funny and it has a pretty straightforward story. I didn’t like the movie. The only thing that irks me is I don’t really know why? It seems pretty faithful to the book and while there are certain things I don’t like, like how in the movie it’s implied that the BFG had a few other kids live with him before Sophie came along which isn’t right, I don’t really know why I dislike it so much. Maybe I just do, and that’s okay. Maybe I’ll watch it again and get back to you.

3. Percy Jackson and The Lightening Thief

Okay maybe this one is a little obvious because a lot of people hate this movie but I don’t necessarily hate it? I just dislike it. There are a few things it gets right, and a lot it gets wrong, and the aging up of Percy Jackson I think is okay but it would have been better if he was 12 like in the book. You get more of sense of “this kid shouldn’t be doing this” then you do with the practically adult actors in the movie. Also Percy, Annabeth, and Grover go through a lot of bullshit and Percy talks to a whole ass zebra in the book. So yeah I would have liked to see that.

He explains that he cannot allow Sophie to return to her world and reveal the existence of giants. If she ventures out alone, she may be eaten by the nine much larger giants.

Prolog Part 2:Jack in Attack of the Movie Night!

The wind was taking Jack back home to Burgess. At this time of year there was no snow or ice,but it was still home to him regardless.He wondered what Jamie was up to and so he came to his house.

Jamie was reading the newspaper with intrigue. He was interested in what was going on in California first a meteor than alleged giants.While he was an older boy his childhood never left him and never will.He was still fascinated by the mysterious and supernatural world.He had fulfilled his goal of having yeti/bigfoot photos,autographed at that.And while these were his long term goals he did have several other ones…one of these was a giant.

“What you're doing Jamie” Jack asked

“I'm researching the Giant,Jack!”Jamie swiftly replied.”By any chance did you meet him or her?”

“Sorry,but no kiddo.And I'm unsure if it's real or not,which I rarely am…”he added

“Some general Monger said on behalf of the government that those reports had no evidence to prove it and dismissed it.But do you also think it can be real?”

“Well I'm real and people don't think I am so why not?”Jack said in a playful tone.

Jack also shared some of Jamie's interests,he even read his book “Mysterious Times" and found it fascinating.

“Where's the rest of the gang?”Jack asked.

“Oh?Well Pippa will be here any minute.She is also interested in it and I should call the others too!”Jamie said.

“Sure why not?”Jack replied

"Oh and Im Home alone Jack"Jamie added before going to the phone

A few minutes later

“So you actually think that giant is real Jamie?”Claude said it to Jamie in kinda an ironic, nearly sarcastic tone.While he and his twin Caleb both were firm believers of the Guardians and several other such creatures,they still were often in doubt of what they didn't see at least once.

“Like really if it is real where would it hide?And where would it go?Something that big can't just appear out of nowhere and then disappear just like that.”Caleb added he and Claude had also heard the official reports and took them as if it were all.And the fact that even Jack himself was unsure cemented it in their heads for them.

“Well then how do you explain it,many saw it and it's not like that one man saw bigfoot many saw it and it's hard to mistake a giant isn't it?”Jamie counterarguments in a serious yet also wondrous tone.

“Well believe it,when we see it” Claude and Caleb said in unison,but Jamie's argument did sow a seed of belief in them and while it was still small it was a little self-doubt to themself.

“Maybe it's one of those friendly giants like the BFG”Sophie said she remembered really liking the book after all the main character's name was Sophie too…she would often dream she was in her place.

“Or maybe it's one of those evil giants,”Monty added when he also read the BFG and was scared of the man-eating giants, the thought could just come out of the shadows, from under a tree or even just gobble him up while he was havin a dream, it made him shudder and gave him nightmares.It didnt help that recently he saw with the gang attack of the 50-foot women which really made his fear for giants grow…

Suddenly an Idea flew into Pippas head.

“Jack?”Pippa asked the frost spirit.

“Yes”Jack replied

“Did you see the giant after you climbed the beanstalk”She said

And almost as if by magic everyone commenced to laughing including Jack.

“Good One,but no I am not that Jack that climbed the beanstalk”Jack said still smiling.

“Did you jump over a candlestick by any chance?”Claude said in a comical tone.

“Or if youre Jack, where is Jill?”Caleb added.

“Did you slay Giants?Then if the Giant attacked you could fight back!”Monty said, referring to Jack the giant slayer.

Jack couldn't help but smile…

“It seems as though there are a lot of Jacks which were in fairy tale.I guess it was so cool they wanted more Jack”Jack said in a humorous tone.

JUST THEN THE DOOR OPENED AND OUT IT CAME!!!!!!!!

“HI JACK!!!”

Cupcake!

Everyone was surprised and relieved.

"What were you doing?"She asked

“We were talking about that giant,if he's real or not and about other Jacks”

"He?Why can't she be a woman?"Cupcake said she had heard some of the reports and while some did not specify some called her the collosoal woman,bridezilla or mega-maid and so she thought that was it.That she saw with the gang attack of the 50-foot women which she really liked despite being so obviously fake.She also found it silly that Monty could have nightmares of it despite the effects being so poor.

“You have a point there!”Jamie said contemplating the thought through his head.

“Hey,now that we're here…..” Claude said

“We can watch a movie!” Caleb said

“Right what are we gonna watch?” Jack said

"Why not something not so scary?"Monty said

“I want to watch the classic horror movie The Son!Of the Bride!Of the Ghost!Of Young!FRANKENSTEIN!!!!!!”Pippa said excitedly.

The BFG?Sophie said

Why not Earth vs the Flying Saucers?Jack said

“What about…”Monty said

Gulliver's Travels?Caleb said

“The Amazing Colossal Man”Claude said as a bit of a remark at Cupcakes ideas.

"The Chronicles of Narnia"Jamie said

“THE POTATO GROWING SHOW!”It was Monty's favorite program and wasn't scary and didn't give him nightmares…It was soothing to him like a nice lullaby to listen to when you're about to sleep and he also was a little interested in growing plants a few years back he did get for his birthday his own lawn and supplies and all those tips and tricks he learned helped it grow and become fertile full of life.Biology was his favorite subject in school and he loved it!

While the kids did find it funny and some snikered,they didn't find it funny anymore when they found out that today was Monty's turn to choose…

1/2 hour of boredom later.

While watching the show Jack was having no fun,he figured only mother nature would find this fun but he saw Monty enjoy it too which gave him second thoughts.He wanted something exciting not some long drawn out show about people growing spuds he wondered how anyone could.Suddenly a commercial break came.

Suddenly Jack took control and was looking through the channels.And hopped right through them as if he was bunnymund on a busy day!

“Oh I liked that one…”Pippa said

“Say how about this-”Monty said

“I've always been fond of-”Cupcake added.

“Nah,wait i saw this one before,about 3 seconds ago”Jack said

Meanwhile Jack had accidentally put way too many kernels of corn and left the microwave unnatended with the popcorn popping more and more it would soon show its disastrous results when a MIGHTY BANG OCCURED!!!!!

House Shuddered and the microwave relaease its contents out.

Everybody Jumped in shock and saw the corn poor into the room.............

"Wow that was so cool,this reminds me of snow"Jack said

"Oh Boy!"Jamie said

"Lets do that again" Jack said happily,this was just so enjoyable.

The Fun has only begun!

This was gonna be a long movie night…

JACK FROST IN:ATTACK OF THE MOVIE NIGHT!!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------

This story takes place one month after the first prologue and two days before the third prologue.The kids are in their teens though unspecified this story takes place a few fears after the nightmare war or the events of the movie.

Im trying to make this like a little breather before the threat arrives kinda a last stop before the long road....

AND NO!Giants are not the threat...infact do you think there real or not(maybe they arent and could be part of the threat or then again most likely not)

The kids are in the teens or so.

Do you think the giant is real?While the Guardians are real even they are unsure and they know practically all but on the other hand just because you dont see it doesnt have to mean it doesnt exist!
