This is one of the few films where I'm sorry we didn't see it in 3D. It was just so...pretty. Everything has a CGI child's daydream feel to it and it was nice to see Spielberg just having fun again. Yes, I did place right around #20 for the year but that was really the adolescent, immature parts that I didn't like as well, like farting Corgis. My mom placed it in her top 10 for 2016.
I also had a problem with Penelope Wilton playing Queen Elizabeth since she was "Harriet Jones, Prime Minister!" We know.
There was also an E.T. doll somewhere in the film but I never saw it. This ended up being the last film written by Melissa Mathison who had also written E.T. and The BFG was first published in 1982, the same year E.T. was released.
