Danny is only four months old when his mother dies; and at the beginning of the story, he lives with his widowed father, William, in a Gypsy caravan, where William operates a filling station and garage. When Danny is nine years old, he discovers that William has habitually taken part in poaching pheasants from the estate of local magnate Mr. Victor Hazell. One morning thereafter, at 2:10am, Danny discovers William's absence; and fearing some misfortune, he drives an Austin Seven to Hazell's Wood, where he eventually finds him in a pit-trap, disabled by a broken ankle, and brings him home. While he is recovering from his injury, he and Danny learn that Mr. Hazell's annual pheasant-shooting party is approaching, which he hosts for dukes, lords, barons, baronets, wealthy businessmen, etc., and decide to humiliate him by capturing all the pheasants in the forest. Danny the champion of the world was one of the only Roald Dahl books that I actually read which inspired me to watch the movie, this is one of those Sunday afternoon family movies with a great story drawing you into Danny and his father's world.
Matilda Wormwood is only five years old, but she is a genius. Unfortunately her parents are too stupid to even notice. Worse, her horrible headmistress Miss Trunchbull is a bully who makes life difficult for Matilda's teacher, Miss Honey, and her friends. But what Miss Trunchbull doesn't know is that Matilda has a trick or two up her sleeve. This is a really enjoyable heartwarming movie with a magical story
really like how Matilda take her revenge upon Miss Trunchbull.
The BFG (Mark Rylance), while a giant himself, is a Big Friendly Giant and nothing like the other inhabitants of Giant Country. Upon her arrival in Giant Country, Sophie, a 10-year-old girl from London, is initially frightened of the mysterious giant who has brought her to his cave, but soon comes to realize that the BFG is actually quite gentle and charming, and, having never met a giant before, has many questions.
Having both been on their own in the world up until now, their affection for one another quickly grows. But Sophie’s presence in Giant Country has attracted the unwanted attention of the other giants. Sophie and the BFG soon depart for London to see Queen Victoria (Penelope Wilton) and warn her of the precarious giant situation, but they must first convince the Queen and her maid, Mary (Rebecca Hall), that giants do indeed exist. Together, they come up with a plan to get rid of the giants once and for all. I haven't see this movie yet though it is on my to watch list, is a great story and a wonderful friendship between the bfg and Sophie.

At the end of the tour, only Charlie and Grandpa Joe remain. Charlie was the only one who passed. The trio enter the "Wonkavator", a multi-directional glass elevator that flies out of the factory. Soaring over the city, Wonka reveals to Charlie that his actual prize is the entire factory itself because Wonka had created the contest to find an honest child worthy enough to be his heir. He informs Charlie that he and his family can move into the factory immediately. A classic brilliant movie Willy Wonka with Gene Wilder is my personal favorite though the Johnny Depp remake was good to.
