Reviews

realtalkrealfolks The first time I saw this, I was only six years old, but I remember it so vividly. It was one of the earliest movies I saw in a theater. We came in a few minutes late, during the diner scene when Hogarth is trying to convince his mom to let him keep a pet squirrel. I remember Mansley getting his face squished in the door was one of the funniest things ever. I remember memorizing the scene of him pestering Hogarth with constant questions, after he rents the empty room in his house. The exchange of Mansley asking "Where ya going, champ, chief, slugger? Where ya going? Where ya going?" and Hogarth screeching back, "I'm going out!!!!" is something my siblings and I still quote to this day. But mainly I remember being absolutely flabbergasted when the Giant sacrifices himself to save Hogarth and the town. Growing up in a a Christian household, going to church twice a week, a story that ended with someone giving up their life for everyone else, was, well...biblical. I remember sitting in the theater and having the thought, "He gave up his life so all those people could live", running through my brain over and over. I couldn't comprehend it. I was too shocked to cry. Watching it for the first time as an adult? I sobbed. The tears started when the Giant realizes he can fly, and Hogarth gleefully tells him, "Try holding out your arms in front of you, like Superman!" and they didn't stop because I knew what was coming. When I was a six year old child I was too young to understand the themes of xenophobia, patriotism, choosing a different path than the one given to you, etc. All I knew was that the Iron Giant "gave up this life so those people could live." Superman, indeed.

eclaire-68264 The iron giant made in 1999 is one of the most original animations ever made. It's sweet , sad, and funny all at the same time. It's set in 1957 in Rockwell , Maine where an alien robot crash landed. The robot to be discovered first by a little adventurous boy named Hogarth. The robot and the boy soon formed an unlikely friendship which was very sweet . Hogarth taught the robot words and different meanings of things and the robot started to show that it has feelings . It's a heartwarming movie that I think everyone would enjoy. It's got many likeable characters and a villain detective who gets everything wrong. I would definitely recommend this movie to all families and animation lovers .

Dante's Peek This gotta be one of the best animated movies I have ever watched in my entire life of movie watching. You can watch this over and over again without getting bored. And every time I have watched, it makes me cry the ending. How an intelligent life from outer space is displayed within a robot that has a soul is indeed a fascinating idea on whoever wrote this. We should have more of this in the current era seriously. This, Ratatouille, WALL-E and The Incredibles. They have similarities of a nice evening of drama in fantasy. Don't miss out on any of them and show your kids this warm stuff.

nishthefit This movie is an absolute classic and there is no doubt! It ended the 90's with a Big Bang. Although it's one of the greatest animated films of all time, I believe it's the best since it's my most favorite! I watched this excessive times as a kid and even to this day I'm always in the mood to watch it. All hail The Iron Giant!!! Forever an instant classic!!!!!!!!!
