Better every time I see it

I was skeptical of "The Iron Giant" when I sat down to watch it for the first time a few months ago. My attitude had been "If it isn't a Disney film, it can't be that good, can it?"
Oh, yes, it can. This is definitely the best animated film I have seen in years. The characters were realistic, the animation was beautiful, and the plot was good enough to hold my three year-old's attention as well as my own. And I figure that, eventually, I will be able to watch the ending without bawling. Also, I liked the anti-gun message behind the film, and how simply it was rendered.
Do yourself a favor. Even if you "don't like cartoons," give this one a shot.
