A remarkable achievement

Rating: Null/10 (7 April 2000)

The great director Don Bluth once said, "I'm not sure the world needs any more movies right now. But if a man is going to go ahead and make one, surely the film he makes ought to offer something to the audience." Apparently, Brad Bird agreed with him, for "The Iron Giant" offers everything you could want in a movie: adventure, comedy, drama, and even a few tears. The animation, music and voices are on par with the story. Perhaps the greatest achievement by the animators is making the CGI and traditional animation blend so seamlessly that you forget that the main character is computer-generated.
See this film, and see it in its letterbox format to fully see the giant's physical relationship with everything around him.
