Disney revealed the first teaser for [Steven Spielberg](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,personsTax:StevenSpielberg,00.html)‘s _The BFG_ Wednesday, and now the anticipation for the film is, well, _big_. _The BFG_, originally written by Roald Dahl, tells the story of a young orphan girl (Ruby Barnhill) and the Giant (Mark Rylance) who introduces her to a world full of adventure, magic and thrill. “I think it was kind of genius of Roald Dahl to be able to empower the children,” said Spielberg, per [multiple outlets](http://www.broadwayworld.com/bwwtv/article/VIDEO-Spielberg-Unveils-First-Teaser-for-Disneys-THE-BFG-20151209). “It was very, very, very brave of him to introduce that combination of darkness and light which was so much Disney’s original signature in a lot of earlier works like _Dumbo_, _Fantasia_, _Snow White_, and _Cinderella_, and being able to do scary, but also be redemptive at the same time and teach a lesson, and enduring lesson, to everyone. It was a wonderful thing for Dahl to have done and it was one of the things that attracted me to want to direct this Dahl book.” This will be the first time three of the world’s most renowned storytellers – Steven Spielberg, Roald Dahl, and [Walt Disney](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,personsTax:WaltDisney,00.html) – have joined forces to bring _The BFG_ to life. “It’s story about friendship, it’s story about loyalty and protecting your friends and it’s a story that shows that even a little girl can help a big giant solve his biggest problems,” Spielberg reportedly said. _The BFG_ will hit theaters July 1, 2016 – just two months shy of what would have been Dahl’s 100th birthday. _This_ [_article_](http://www.people.com/article/the-bfg-first-teaser-trailer-steven-spielberg) _originally appeared on_ [_People.com_](http://people.com)_._ ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4144192/watchtrailer-big-friendly-giant-spielberg/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4144192/watchtrailer-big-friendly-giant-spielberg/"},"headline":"Watch The Teaser Trailer For Disney's The Big Friendly Giant","datePublished":"2015-12-10T13:25:23.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T13:15:58.344Z","description":"'It's a story about friendship and it's a story about loyalty'","url":"https://time.com/4144192/watchtrailer-big-friendly-giant-spielberg/","keywords":["movies","Movie trailers","steven spielberg"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt549f2688ed9c5a15/698874cecd1bba051b6fe776/bfg.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Christina Dugan / People"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt549f2688ed9c5a15/698874cecd1bba051b6fe776/bfg.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"The Big Friendly Giant, The BFG, Disney, Steven Spielberg","caption":"The Big Friendly Giant, The BFG, Disney, Steven Spielberg","creditText":"Disney / YouTube","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4144192/watchtrailer-big-friendly-giant-spielberg/","name":"Watch The Teaser Trailer For Disney's The Big Friendly Giant"}}]}] ```
