An animated classic!

The Iron Giant is not only one of my favorite animated films but also one of my favorite films PERIOD. The friendship between the Iron Giant and Hogarth is what makes the film charming, funny and deeply heartfelt. The story is touching and has very heartfelt, deep messages such as "You are who you choose to be" and "Souls can't die". The Iron Giant's death was absolutely heartbreaking! ;-;
The animation is absolutely gorgeous and I love the work the animators did with the Iron Giant! The character designs were really nice and very distinctive. The characters themselves are very likable and the performances that the actors give them are top-notch. Overall, The Iron Giant is a touching and beautiful tale about a friendship between a boy and a giant robot. It's sad that the film bombed at the box office and people didn't give it the attention it deserved when it was released back in 1999. Definitely a must-watch and I cannot recommend it enough!
