Souls don't die

Rating: 8/10 (19 April 2013)

The Iron Giant is another great movie by Brad Bird. I decided to watch this based on the good comments in "The Animation Addicts Podcast", and I was not disappointed.
The animation is pretty good, classic 2D, with some CGI here and there (I read the giant is actually made on CGI). The way they animated the robot is pretty good, the movements (sometimes being clumsy, like not being really sure how to fit in the surroundings), the voice, the fact that it barely talks, and just open his mouth to say something relevant.
Overall, I think this one is a pretty good family movie, that I think adults can also enjoy (I am on my 30s), because besides of being fun and funny, touches some topics such as how we are scared of what we don't know and tend to judge before even giving us the chance to get to know something or someone. The good thing of the movie, is that it does that without being too preachy.
Score (8)
