Popular Post Will 2,215 Posted October 22, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2016 According to http://movies.disney.com/the-bfg: The BFG Blu-ray and Digital HD editions (but not the DVD-only edition) will include a featurette about JW. Here's the complete list. Amazon has descriptions of some which I have added. BRINGING THE BFG TO LIFE - Take a phizz-whizzing journey through the making of the movie with Ruby Barnhill ("Sophie"). THE BIG FRIENDLY GIANT AND ME - A short about the friendship between the BFG and the little "bean" who lived in Giant Country before Sophie. GOBBLEFUNK - THE WONDERFUL WORDS OF THE BFG - -- A whoopsey-splunkers tutorial on the BFG's gloriumptious Gobblefunk. GIANTS 101 - Meet the frightsome giants portrayed by actors Jemaine Clement, Bill Hader and more. MELISSA MATHISON: A TRIBUTE JOHN WILLIAMS: SCORING A DREAM The DVD-only edition will only include the Gobblefunk and Mathison ones. These release on November 29 and are available to pre order now from several online retailers. Pieter Boelen, Cerebral Cortex and thx99 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Lets hope this is a 150 minute documentary not only about this score. But about the Spielberg/Williams collaboration in general crumbs and Amer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will 2,215 Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 Well, we can hope, I guess... I'm expecting five minutes of gushing, with possibly a few cool recording sessions bits. I really want to see JW conducting "Frolic." crumbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artguy360 1,843 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 It's gonna be a standard 7 minute featurette that they usually do and it will still be more insightful and interesting than the music featurette included for TFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kendal_Ozzel 36 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 It was previously reported that the Williams featurette will be a "digital exclusive." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the official site says it will be on the Blu-ray too. So we'll see. Quote THE BIG FRIENDLY GIANT AND ME - A short about the friendship between the BFG and the little "bean" who lived in Giant Country before Sophie. Could this be, like, a short film of sorts? That JW might have scored? Or is it just another documentary about "the boy"? That character doesn't really seem worthy of a whole documentary featurette.

That would absolutely suck, if true!!! At least we have some recording sessions footage from the B-roll video on YouTube (starting at 5:42): Incanus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skelly 261 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I have a few sound bites from Williams regarding the film's music that may tide you all over until the DVD is released (assuming you all haven't seen this already). Williams makes some interesting comments. I enjoy seeing his eyes light up when he's talking about other people, like Spielberg, finding joy in music. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bx_2TC4QmNqkOXVyX3E4TDIyZ0k Incanus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will 2,215 Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 A bunch of clips from the film and the featuretts here: https://www.youtube.com/user/DisneyMovies/videos Unfortunately seems like a lot of library music used in the featuretts. Plus some OST, and I think maybe a little bit not on the OST. Description of Williams featurette (http://www.wearemoviegeeks.com/2016/11/disneys-bfg-digital-hd-blu-ray-disney-movies-anywhere-november-29/): John Williams: Scoring A Dream – A journey through the film’s concept art and memorable moments, interwoven with the sights and sounds of legendary composer John William’s scoring session. The Blu-ray came out today. Haven't seen it yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demondm810 399 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I don't see the feature on the blu-ray at all. I fast forwarded through the "Bringing the BFG To Life" but Williams nor an orchestra were shown, so it looks like it was scrapped. Edit: didn't realize it was on the digital version only.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I don't think it's even on the iTunes release of The BFG. This appears to be all of the extras on the iTunes release: Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wow, you're right, digital releases don't seem to list it. Disney Movies Anywhere: 5 bonus features available with purchase, including: The Big Friendly Giant And Me Bringing The BFG To Life Melissa Mathison: A Tribute Gobblefunk: The Wonderful Words Of The BFG Giants 101 Shoot. Could it have really been axed? More positively, maybe they're saving the footage for the Sony DVD! I changed the thread title to reflect this recent news, by the way.

To be honest, that sounds less like a featurette of the score and more like fluff, with film music laid on top. We already had the B-Roll with scoring sessions footage and those sound bites from Williams. I think any featurette would've covered the same ground. Still sucky though.

Will 2,215 Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 Of course it would be mostly fluff, but there'd be plenty of great new sessions footage and maybe some alternate takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
