So, what do you know about
this movie so far Bailey?
- I know the books made by Roald Dahl.
- Yeah, based on a book by Roald Dahl.
Have you read that book?
- Yeah, the BFG, I really like it.
It's pretty funny.
- So you think the movie will be funny?
- [Announcer] We are going to introduce
to you guys Stephen Spielberg.
(clapping)
So we're gonna have a
Q&A and some of you guys
prepared some questions.
- The youngest, the youngest right there.
Right there, the youngest.
I've seen him jump up,
he really has something to say.
- The one that the dog tooted.
(laughing)
- When the dog tooted.
- What was your favorite part?
- Kind of all the parts
where Sophie and the BFG
are really really close,
'cause they're all really
beautiful to watch,
and so it's really nice
to see those scenes.
So all of the ones where
you can really clearly
see their relationship are my favorite.
- The giant part.
- Which giant part?
- [Stephen] Which is kinda
like the whole movie.
(laughing)
- She run over.
- Oh when I got, does he
mean when I got grabbed
by the giant?
Yeah, that is, actually
when I was watching that,
I was actually going ahh,
because filming that very,
I was just kind of backing.
There was a big blue hand behind me,
and I was just like that, backing into it.
- The scary part at the very
beginning when the hand,
was that really scary
for those of you who
didn't see the trailer,
maybe, where the big hand
comes through the window?
- It wasn't scary for me,
because I read the book.
(laughing)
- [Stephen] Yeah well that's good,
we should all read the book first.
I recommend that.
(indistinct conversation)
- Parker, what did you think of the movie?
- Great.
- Good?
- It was really really good.
- Really good.
- It was amazing.
It's my favorite movie.
- [Christopher] It's your favorite movie?
- And my favorite book.
- [Christopher] And your favorite book?
How did you like it Jacob?
- It was good.
- [Christopher] It was good?
What was your favorite part?
All of it?
You gonna eat some food.
Let's eat some food.
(yells)
Look how tiny these burgers are.
It makes me feel like a giant.
- [Jessica] What did you
think about gymnastics?
You want to be able to do that?
Nailed it.
(laughing)
Make your hands bigger.
Oh my goodness, she looks just like her.
Let's go do some art.
Can you show me your art?
Nice.
- so I was sitting there,
getting ready to watch the movie
and they randomly came
up to me and said hey,
we're doing this thing upstairs,
this cool little spelling bee game
with some of the people
who are in the film
and who helped make the film,
would you like to do it?
And I was like, um, yes.
And so, I'm gonna host this spelling bee
right now on Facebook Live.
I'm like really excited about it,
and maybe a little bit nervous.
Set where you need to be.
And you're gonna hold it like this
and just hold really still.
This is going to show the people at home
how to spell it, so that they can see it,
while the person's trying to spell it.
So we're gonna do a rehearsal real quick.
So you're gonna turn this way,
so you're facing this out,
and you're gonna hold it like this.
Right here.
- [Bailey] I was right.
- [Christopher] Snozzcumber.
(indistinct conversation)
- My nose is different.
- Also the large ears and the neck.
- Yeah, that's right.
My neck's only that long.
He's been stretched.
- [Jessica] What do you think happens
if you drink that Bailey?
(laughing)
- Hey everybody, it's Chris Ballinger
from the Youtube channel Ballinger Family.
My family's actually here with me today
to help out and my son
Jacob's going to hold
the word up here, so that
you can follow along at home,
but he's not going to show you, so.
- Jacob.
Can I not give you anything
that would convince
you to turn that word 'round?
(laughing)
No.
- Nope, nothing, okay.
- I think snozzcumber is spelled
S-N-O-Zed or Z,
another Z-C-U-M-B-E-R.
- Correct, that is correct.
(cheering)
Figglers.
- What?
(laughing)
- Would you say that in a sentence?
- Yes, human beings have tiny figglers.
- Instead of fingers, figglers.
- [Christopher] Figglers, yes.
- Okay, this one's for
Stephen and the word is,
it's actually two words, Roald Dahl.
- Roald Dahl.
R-O-A-L-D D-A-H-L.
- That was close.
- Okay, R-O-A-L-D
D-A-H-L.
- That is correct.
- So Stephen get two gos?
- I'm the director, take two.
I gave you take two.
- This is the hardest one of all.
- And it's for me?
- Yeah, I'm sorry.
But this one's worth 10 points,
so if you get this, it's
the whole thing, okay?
- Okay.
- Alright, you ready?
Here we go.
This next word is BFG.
- Oh my gosh that's so hard.
- I can use it in a sentence is you want.
- Yeah, I'm gonna have to
- No problem.
The BFG is in theaters Friday, July 1st.
(laughing)
- I'm gonna make a guess here,
is it B-F-G?
- That is absolutely correct.
(cheering)
Alright.
- I was really nervous.
(laughing)
- Let's give one more round of applause
for our contestants.
(cheering)
- Put the top back on.
There we go.
- I think Parker needs a nap.
What do you think Parker?
Do you need a nap?
- I already did a nap.
- You already did a nap?
When did you do that?
- Oh, Parker already took a nap.
- Yeah I did it already.
- When did you do that?
- When did you?
- I did it already.
- When?
- Here.
- You did it here?
I don't know about that.
I don't know when you
would have done that.
- It was here and then
there, and then there
and then there, oh pet doggie.
- You're gonna pet the doggie?
We finished the Facebook
Live feed thing that we did
with the spelling bee.
It was a lot of fun.
Super cool, everybody was super nice
and now we're gonna drive home.
Hi, let's talk about
what we learned today.
(ukulele playing)
We learned that Parker's
favorite part of the movie
was the part where the dogs tooted.
We learned that figglers are hilarious.
And finally we learned that
Parker already took a nap.
He took one there, over
here, and over there,
and now he's gotta pet a doggie.
Be sure to check out the
BFG in theaters today.
It is a great movie.
Our whole family had a blast watching it.
Thanks for watching everybody.
We'll see you next time.
(laughing)
- Let's start calling
it the Chris Ballinger,
just go in and be like, can
I get the Chris Ballinger?
- Yeah, and and then
when they're like, who,
what are you even talking
about, go go, come on, guys.
And just act like it's a real thing.
It's lots of chocolate and espresso.
