Products inspired by the film will be available at U.K. high street and online retailers including Amazon, Debenhams, Foyles bookshop, Hamleys, Harrods, John Lewis, Smyths and Toymaster.

eOne is also working with its Spanish licensing agent, Planeta Junior, and the U.K. licensing agent for Quentin Blake’s illustrations of The BFG, DRi Licensing, to maximize the film’s retail presence in-store and secure cross category free-standing displays.

The studio has also secured a number of promotional partnerships for the film including:

Additionally, eOne, Save the Children, VisitLondon.com and The Roald Dahl Literary Estate have joined forces for a new public art trail throughout the streets of London and key locations in the U.K. to celebrate the film’s release. The BFG Dream Jar Trail will launch July 9 and will end Aug. 31.
