A movie that will make you feel like a kid again.

Rating: 9/10 (21 November 2000)

In an age of Pokemon and Disney snoozers like Pocahontas, animated movies aimed at the 6-12 year old demographic are usually limited to eye candy at best.
The Iron Giant is an exception to this trend. I simply cannot say enough good things about this movie. The animation is incredible, the story, while nothing too revolutionary, serves as a basis for a great message.
The movie is filled with some great moments that are cute, while not cloying. The action, such as it is, is handled well and does not glorify violence.
Perhaps most refreshing is the lack of wisecracking animal sidekicks and musical numbers that Disney has made so popular.
If you're a parent, rent this one for your kids. If you have any amount of childlike wonder remaining in your being, watch this movie. It will not disappoint.
