In the world of animated flicks this one gets five stars.

Rating: 10/10 (1 December 2004)

Iron Robot is a well crafted film and I'm not surprised to see Brad Bird knocking it out of the park for Pixar with the recent hit The Incredibles.
Obviously this movie is about a Giant Robot and a little boy in Smallsville, USA, so I'm not sure why someone would write 5 paragraphs about it. But I will say this; it is a perfect movie for children and even an old dude like me.
Most of the time animators and directors don't have the talent to breath life into animated characters without exaggerating their actions and reducing them to cartoons. But Brad Bird has a gift, he really gives the machine a soul, one that almost brings you to tears if you get mushy at films (I did).
If you have kids buy it. If you don't have kids, rent it and enjoy a really good movie.
