An Unexpected Classic

Rating: 8/10 (5 October 2014)

Everyone loves The Iron Giant. Who can hate this movie? Its got the adventure any kid would wish, and the serious moments that leave goosebumps on your skin. The characters are energetic, and quite likable, with more dimension than the standard kid's film. Heck, it even makes me like the 1950s, arguably the dullest, most white-washed decade of the 20th century.
Its funny, its suspenseful, its heart-warming...its just a good animated film in all areas. You'll love the kid, you'll love the suave beatnik artist, and of course, you'll love the powerful, mysterious, yet gentle, Iron Giant himself. Its defiantly one of those movies I'll keep returning to throughout the years.
