- Summary
-
- It tells the imaginative story of a young girl and the Giant who introduces her to the wonders and perils of Giant Country.

- "You can see a thousand movies and think that you've become immune to dazzling visuals - until you see them done right."--San Francisco Chronicle
- "For once, underneath all the motion capture folderol, the key performance really does feel like a full, real, vital performance."--Michael Phillips
