One of the Best Animated Films Ever

Rating: 10/10 (17 December 2000)

"The Iron Giant" is a film about a boy, his beatnik friend, his mother, an insane G-Man and an Iron Giant from outer space in a small town in the 1950s. The film is beautifully directed and the voicing seems to have a depth and character that I can never remember seeing in any Disney film. It is in many ways a re-telling of one of the greatest sci-fi films of all time, "The Day the Earth Stood Still" and is just as powerful, intelligent and moving. It is with out a doubt one of the best animated and sci-fi films ever made. Klatu Viratu Niktu (I hope I spelled that right).
