 Iron Giant review Product Description
Based on poet Ted Hughes' 1968 children's book, former SIMPSONS producer Brad Bird's adaptation proves to be a work of art the family can enjoy together--simple and visually captivating enough for kids and sharp and touching enough for adults. Hogarth is a young boy in 1950s Maine. When he finds a kind and very large robot (of unknown origin), a strong bond of friendship is formed between the two. It isn't long, however, until a government agent is on their trail, wanting to destory the robot. A beautifully rendered fable.

| Iron Giant
This is a great movie,I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because of a couple of bad words.

| understated greatness
A touching, moving story that you want to share with everyone, that everyone should see. I saw this movie when it first came out and showed it to a class of troubled adolescents who watched in attentive quiet, ending with some students and teachers with tears in their eyes.This movie will always have a favorite place in my heart.

| You haven't seen this movie?...
...SHAME on you! It's great family fun from beginning to end. If it's your first time watching it, do so with your children. You will laugh AND cry with them, guaranteed. Set in the Sputnik era (and all the McCarthyistic paranoia that surrounded it), this movie centers around a boy and his developing friendship with a mysterious but gentle giant robot that has lost it's memory. This one is right up there with Finding Nemo and The Incredibles. A MUST have for the family collection.

| Wonderful but where is the sequel?
Superior in every way. You and your children should not miss this film. The childrens book has scratchy art but the animation here is almost 3D. It is magnificent. Buy this film and be happy.

| Cold War Paranoia
Great artwork and animations; very nice indeed, but a little frightening for the kiddies. The storyline is spot-on in its understanding of the kind of paranoia that existed in western governments and the military during the Cold-War era, and in its understanding also of the openness of childrens' minds. We see in contrast how those of adults are closed: "It's big, we don't know what it is, or where it came from: it must be destroyed". This film should be required viewing at political and military academies.
