It's some of the best animation I've ever seen. I pretty much bought the world . . . Bunn is most proud of The Iron Giant, despite its failure last year at the box office. According to Bunn, Warner had spent an enormous amount of money on its previous animated flop, The Quest for Camelot and, not realizing what it had, opted not to promote The Iron Giant . Still, The Iron Giant is destined to become a classic, Bunn said.
Animated features have lasting value and appeal, as well as a very long shelf life.
It's kind of a cult classic, though.
