Caught me totally by surprise and was great!

Rating: 9/10 (30 December 1999)

I bought the DVD without any knowledge about the plot other than it had a giant robot and a boy in it. "duh". The film just completely caught me off-guard and it was absolutely great. There were no disney-like "let's all sing and praise" moments and it was completely believable + the voice actors did a great job. Although the film is a bit short it still packs in everything it needs and the end is very touching.
