DISNEY TAKE NOTE!

Rating: 10/10 (1 October 2002)

I am not a fan of animated movies (especially of the Disney variety!) and I have no patience for gooey songs, anthropomorphic animals and objects (ad nauseum), but this is the best animated movie I have seen yet (saw it on TV a few nights ago). It beats the usual cliche stuff churned out by Disney Inc., and the characters are lovable without being overly cutesy. I decided to check out Atlantis as well, and The Iron Giant is far superior to that humdrum, boring Disney flick! The Iron Giant himself has the sweetest personality. He reminds me of Johnny Five from Short Circuit, another movie I loved as a kid!
CONCLUSION? This movie will definitely appeal to adults as well as the kids! I recommend it!
