I first saw this movie about 7 years ago on one of the premium channels. As I started to watch I was thinking oh well another cheesy scifi cartoon but, as I got into it I noticed little things that made it different from other movies of the like. As in the simple way Hogarth goes through a daily routine and as a child of the 50's I was taken by the way things in his life were similar to mine. Only one parent, dreams of a being from outer space coming to earth and being his only friend and influence. Being the center of attention as an only child. The Giant and his way of getting inside of you and wanting him to be only yours. A true friend to be sure. I was swept up in this film in about 10 minutes. I was Hogarth. I felt everything he felt. I was taken with how the animators came up with the different weapons at his disposal, and that the Giant was basically a peaceful soul thrown into a situation he didn't ask for. Once attacked, buddy look out! I WANT A SEQUEL!!
