yeah, because the Iron Giant doesn't act like a dog. he acts like a kid controlling a 50 story robot of mass destruction. I always hated when they made non-dog anything act like a dog. that's a horse, not a dog. make it act like a horse!

We really have to give nearly ALL of the praise to Brad Bird because before he signed on board, WB was still in that phase of "We must copy Disney's formula" with their Disney wannabe movies like Quest for Camelot and The King & I. They wanted The Iron Giant a funny musical and possibly live action at one point but once Brad Bird came in, his pitch was "What if a gun had a soul and didn't want to be a gun?" which was the question he wanted to tell ever since his sister died from her husband who killed her with a gun and the movie was gonna get made and dedicated to her. Making it more of a personal film to Brad Bird. It became less of a musical and more of a mature and existential kids movie about death and self-identity. And while it was a huge bomb, it was good enough in Pixar's eyes that it led him to direct my favorite Pixar movies: The Incredibles and Ratatouille. Ironically, The Iron Giant felt more like a 2D Pixar movie or even a modern Disney film than what WB was intending the movie to be like which was completely copying Disney's craze from the 90s .

To this day, I still get chills when I see the raw levels of emotion that the giant shows whenever he thinks that Hogarth is dead. Everything from his hands trembling to the heartbreaking whimpers really demonstrate just how far the character has come since the beginning of the movie. His first few scenes have his body moving in a much more robotic and stiff way and this scene shows beautifully just how human the giant has become. This movie has always remained one of my all times favorite pieces cinema, let alone animated films. There’s a reason that this film has a cult following and I am so happy when I see new people getting introduced to it.

It's worth noting how personal the message of this film was to the director, Brad Bird. "What if a gun had a soul and didn't want to be a gun." Brad's sister was killed by a gun in a home invasion while Brad was still quite young, and it stuck with him his entire life. This movie almost seems like a part of his grieving.

This movie is my childhood. Everytime CN had it on I watched it growing up (even when they played it 24 hours) I loved this movie and i still love this movie. It is my favorite movie of all time. No matter how many times i see it , i always laugh and cry at the same scenes. The deer scene, the souls don’t die scene and of course the ending, both the Superman moment and the literal last minute of movie when you see the giant rebuilding himself, I’m bawling. I would love to meet brad bird to personally thank him for my childhood with this film. This movie did not have to be so deep and mature but it was. I mean, what kid movie has the line “It’s bad to kill, but it’s not bad to die”. I recommend to anyone to get the blu ray release because not only do you get the deleted scene mentioned but there is also a whole making of documentary on it and it showcases everything to how Warner bros failed this movie with the marketing to seeing how they made the film and seeing all the animators have fun while also working their asses off making this film the best it could be. Even watching the crew watch a rough cut of the Souls don’t die scene is very emotional because every one is silent or crying. They all put their souls into this movie. Also, the anti-gun message hits harder when I learned (through this documentary) that Brad bird lost his Sister to gun violence. She was killed by her husband. It was so emotional hearing him talk about it. So Bird making a film with the premise “what if a gun didn’t want to be a gun” i can understand why he wanted to make that now. I can’t praise this film enough. I can literally go on forever about how much i adore this film.

The reinstated blu ray deleted scenes (Dean bonding with Annie establishing the possibility of a relationship and the Giant’s dream) honestly fix the only problems I’ve ever had with the film (and this film has always been 10/10 for me, don’t get me wrong). I always thought Dean suddenly freaking out at the Giant was executed weirdly but when you realise he saw a brief glimpse of the Giant’s dream of his past projected on his TV in the middle of the night it gives him more of a reason to be on the fence about trusting the Giant. What’s brilliant is that those scenes were always intended to be in the film but they were cut for budgetary reasons - almost two decades after the release of the film Brad Bird launched a Kickstarter to fund the film’s release on blu ray with newly animated versions of the previously storyboarded scenes reinstated. Aside from one too modern looking screen shake in the Giant’s dream they did an amazing job of making the scenes look authentic to the rest of the film’s animation style. So good.

This is a fantastic kids movie! It has a fun story, the art and animation is also excellent, and it doesn't feel anywhere near as long as its runtime. It also feels unique because we follow along with the boy named Hogarth, while coming to care about Dean and Annie, but the real protagonist and character who gets the arc, is the Iron Giant himself. And he isn't even the character the director chooses for us as our eyes-in, which is a brilliant choice. He's alien to Earth and doesn't know much when he comes in contact with Hogarth, who chooses to help him, leading him to the start of his good path. It's also great that the Giant chooses to be Superhero-like thanks to the boy's teachings, and avoids staying the killing machine his creator had made him to be. It's pretty smart how this story teaches the children who watch this, with simple wording and imagery through teaching the giant Robot, which is also something that would appeal to the kids as well. It hits you emotionally too when he is also learning about the world, like about life and death when the deer is killed, and thankfully the film does show us his perspective at times to really drive that home. The scene when he decides to sacrifice himself so that the kid and the people of that town don't die from the nuclear missile targeting him is also well done. And that's handled excellently too because it lingers long enough with this idea that the Giant is dead, so that the kid audience can better feel and grasp the concept, but then wraps it up in an uplifting manner where he's both praised for being heroic, but also is revealed to be alive, and will eventually be self-repaired. I also like that the boy by the end also gets a stepfather, something slightly hinted at with Annie, his mother, liking Dean's art and him feeling someone can see the beauty in his hobby, it can totally catch you by surprise but it works. It's a 10 out of 10! And that's because it also works for adults who can get invested and get something out of watching it. Sidenote, it's tragic how this story idea came to be since the writer's sister was murdered using a gun, but it's nice he used that misfortune for this, and got to explain how "death doesn't always have to be bad".
