This is the best of children animated films

Rating: 10/10 (22 November 1999)

My nephews live in a town that has one of those 2nd-run movie theaters. This week it was Iron Giant and I really didn't think I'd want to sit through this movie. My nephews, ages 9 & 7 insisted they wanted to see it, not because it was the rage of all the kids (no one heard of it), but because it was just playing at the theater and was a cartoon.
Boy was I surprised. I went into this movie thinking I'd catch a quick nap and instead I was captivated by this incredible movie. Not only did my nephews love it, but so did I. It was a great plot with an excellent storyline/moral. Great animation too! It's not a fluke that this move has an 8.7 rating at IMDB, it should probably go higher. Compared to some of the latest offerings from Disney, this movie outshines most of them (It was head and shoulders above Disney's Tarzan and Dreamwork's Prince of Egypt). Take your kids to see this movie, better yet, buy it for them. This will be a timeless classic in children's animation.
