Hello. I was one of the animators on Iron Giant. So glad you loved the film. We're all very happy that it's found it's audience and is considered one of the very best of it's kind. Just as an FYI. There will be NO sequel. It was never intended to have endless sequels. Just a "One and done" sort of thing. And really....that's just one more thing that makes this movie all that much more special. All the very best to you! :)

@coldflamebluedragon196 Hello! I was one of the animators on this movie. You mentioned the "Rocketeer". Just a fun fact for you. The director of the Rocketeer (Joe Johnston) was given the duty to come up with the initial designs for our Robot. It was then fine tuned by Giant supervising animator Steve Markowski and the development team. Glad you love the film! All the best.

Hogarth's dad was more than a pilot, in the photo he is stepping on the wing of his fighter jet to get into the cockpit. I figured he was a jet pilot in the Korean war and was killed. Brad Berg said he thought viewers would not notice the photo, but he was surprised at how many did see the picture and put that part of the story together.

I haven't seen this since I was super young, but damn, the animation holds up incredibly well against the animated movies of today.

In case anyone is curious, The Iron Giant is 50 feet (or 15.24 meters) tall.

The 3D animation on the giant feels so seamless with the 2D animation of everything else, it's incredibly impressive.

I love the sequence, but i'm also glad I saw the theatrical version first. the moment he transforms was so shocking, cool, and also horrific. it comes out of nowhere and makes you actually fear for humanity.

Such a good movie, and even though it wasn't a box office success, it gained a cult following overtime.

This movie has cut through the hardest hearts. It's so underrated

Most underrated animated film, EVER. Ending still brings me to tears after all these years.

Probably the first movie that made me cry as a kid. And here I am 31 years old and it still makes me tear up. This movie has held up so well after so many years.

I love how it re-imagined those classic goody looking scifi weapons to actually be terrifying!

The Iron Giant is excellent, and peerless. The Superman ending drops me to the floor every single time. And I'm 53.

25:28 to quote Ted Lasso, in season 1 episode 7: Ted: Hey, do me a favour, keep an eye on these guys, 'cause around the 74-minute mark, there's gonna be a room full of grown men crying. Beard: I'll be one of 'em.

Truly such an underrated movie. I also judged the book by it’s cover, and I only watched it because everyone kept talking about him when he launched in Multiversus

The film is based on a children’s book by British poet laureate, Ted Hughes. I read it as a kid and from what I recall it was a lot darker. The books is called The Iron Man and there was a sequel titled The Iron Woman which had, if I recall, a more nature-based story.

The giant was Mansly's white whale. Also director Brad Bird decided to make this movie after his sister was fatality shot by her husband. His premise was " what if a gun had a soul, but didn't want to be a gun?" Loved this movie growing up!

There was a magic in the the late 90’s and early 00’s animation that randomly died for whatever reason… The Iron Giant, Titan A.E., Atlantis, Treasure Planet, Anastasia, etc. I’m definitely forgetting some bangers

This movie was made by the same animation team that later made The Incredibles. The director, Brad Bird, wanted to keep the artistic touch of 2D animators and their designs relevant in the age of 3D animation. You can see the similarities in the designs of the characters. Especially with the long faced redheaded antagonist, and the attractively animated mom lol But not only is the animation familiar, but the concept of having children and families experiencing very real, scary, dangerous, and mature situations.

One of the better animations out there still, holds up really well after all these years.

"Same rules apply to rain as snow?" Yes and no. There are 'degrees' to snow. If it's not cold enough, snow is 'wet' like the bottom of a snowcone. It's slushy and slippery. When 'perfect' snow falls, it's not any more dangerous than rain at the start. And might remain that way for at least the first full day. It's when the snow packs into ice that it becomes truly dangerous.

This is what movies were like when I was a kid. They were to teach us very valuable moral lessons. You mentioned Aladdin - poor or rich doing the right thing matters. When Aladdin freed the Genie - doing for others before yourself. I love Iron Giant it is such a great movie.

That grace he said at that dinner was me every dinner I copied that grace word from word each time. My mom had sane reaction as his mom but rest of my family loved it lol

That prayer scene lives in my head rent free since i saw this movie

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. It was on constant repeat when I was a kid. It's hilarious, emotional, and beautiful. It was directed by Brad Bird, who also directed The Incredibles, another great movie with a lot of depth. "You are who you choose to be." ❤

Went to the theatre to watch Wild, Wild West but decided to watch this movie instead, it was fantastic. One of the better decisions I've made.

Thanks for your reaction to this great film, guys. My understanding of the Mansley character is that he represents the simmering and barely controlled paranoia of the 50s. Back then, so many people were terrified of the threat of Russia and communism (Sputnik is mentioned several times in the film). Mansley's the quintessential portrait of that fear. His refusal to trust the Giant and simply leave him alone is caused by his unwillingness to let go of his fears, perhaps because they're the only thing that help him make sense of the world.

The director Brad Bird is now a live action film director... but back in the 80s he was a young animation prodigy.. a wunderkind if you will. He did a short called "Family Dog" that was very Simsonsesque (just prior to the Simpsons debuting on the Tracy Ullman show), and then went on to be an animation consultant on The Simpsons.. and his work on that show really upped the game on the first few seasons of that show. He also directed their music video, 'Do the Bartman" which got a huge primetime push on Fox back in the day.

I recall Brad Birds sister was shot and killed prior to this film so the whole "you dont have to be a gun" thing stemmed from that.

“You are who you choose to be”

The Iron Giant is a very underrated animated movie. It's got darker undertones and is more realistic. The older I get, the more distanced I am from Disney movies (the current crop, not the 90s movies) coz of how childish or saccharine they can be. But The Iron Giant is a rare exception. The saddest movie I have ever watched is 'Grave of the fireflies' directed by Isao Takahata (co-founder of Studio Ghibli).. The opening line of the movie is ' September 21, 1945. That was the night I died'. The movie left me mourning for these fictional character for days, heart broken.. It's a powerful masterpiece of a tragedy which I will never watch again (because it's THAT sad).

I think the creators actually considered the robot dying, but decided it would be too dark for a kids movie

I love this movie, this was the first movie I ever watched 18 years ago, time flies by😭

I remember hanging out with my buddy at the Glendale studio and he showed me the project he was working on. He took me to a hallway that had the entire storyboard for the iron giant up on the wall. I was so excited for this movie to come out.

This movie is astonishingly good and an absolute guaranteed cry. It was one of the first movies I showed my now wife, and she cried. We showed our daughter last year, and they cried. I'm not sure how many times I've watched it. Maybe, 10 times? So, I obviously know how it ends and I cry every time.

So so glad you’ve now seen this gem from the past.

Brad Bird is the GOAT. Salute Warner for backing this project.

He's alien.. he was sent as a giant man robot as a Trojan horse.. then when least expect it invade.. had nothing to do with the bump.. he simply did what was meant regardless of the amnesia.. he just never realized it.. but he chose to go against his programing after Hoggard. Bc he learned.. that's why he was able to go back from his killing programming after Hoggard stopped him. Bc he loved the planet the bond. If he had never met this kid.. he wouldn't of stopped . It's a great movie... great message u r who u choose to be. Sorry I just loved it

Iron Giant is hands down the best Superman movie ever made.

This is one of my childhood memories I love this movie to my heart love it then love it now and the scene where Hogarth talks to the giant about a soul and it’s so deep

Genuinely one of my 10 absolutely favorite films of all time.

25:47 If you look closely you can see the general giving a military salute to the giant

This movie wrecks me every single time. It's such a beautiful movie, and the animation is incredible. I love the little touches and personalities with the characters, like Mansley slamming the phone down in rage, because it keeps slipping off the cradle. Everything is firing on all cylinders, and the voice acting is next level.

I'm 35 and still feel like a kid when I watch this. Will never forget the marathon they ran of this on Cartoon Network, and how Sketchers or some other sneaker company had an ad tied in with this movie when it came out.

90s had the best cartoons and cartoon movies

This movie is one of my all time favorite cartoons. This and The Brave Little Toaster (which I also highly recommend)

I remember buying this for my son when it came out memories ❤😊

THE IRON GIANT was my first cartoon animation movie in 90s

That’s Kent’s arc, his descent into the paranoia of the era. This is the time of the space race and Soviet Sputnik “ominously” orbiting over us. He at first is dismissive of the threat and then eventually let’s the fear of the unknown so consume him that he is willing to blast a town with a nuclear weapon to stop it. We’ve seen in the news recently some individuals with guns have been whipped up into such a frenzy of fear that they are firing at people who turn into the wrong driveway or ring the bell at the incorrect address.

The developers of Ratchet & Clank “Insomniac Games” did say that they took inspiration from Iron Giant to create the character of Clank.

A few 'fun facts'* - This movie came out in1999, the same year as Episode One of George Lucas's little space movie...🙄 - This was the third of thee animated features from Warner Bros that year (the first two being 'Quest for Camelot', and 'Cats Don't Dance'). either of those films did very well at the box office, and so the decision was made to not put any marketing behind this film... To this day, I hope the person who made that decision is still looking for work...😠 - To add insult to injury, no category existed at that time for Best Animated Feature at the Academy Awards...🙁 - Brad Bird went on to direct 'The Incredibles' for Pixar. During that film, note the call letters of the jet that Helen is flying; 'India Golf Niner Niner', or 'IG99'... A little nod to this film...😊 *.Obviously, a strange, new definition of 'fun' of which you were previously unaware... 😛

There was another animated Warner Brothers movie from the 90s that didn't do well at the box office, Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, based off of Batman: The Animated Series, it flopped at the box office because Warner Brothers didn't want to Market it because the year earlier, they got bombarded with complaints from angry parents for Batman Returns for being too dark and adult oriented, so when mask of the Phantasm was in the works, Warner Brothers didn't Market it to avoid parents complaining about it being an animated superhero movie involving murders and depression and corrupt politics

90 movies were the best. Look at the recent Jumanji-light movies and compare to the original with Robin Williams. Original was so much more creative yet grounded in real issues stuff the sequels wouldn’t waist their time with.

Watched it for the first time today because i saw this on my feed. It was amazing and iconic. Just realized that the giant being voiced by Vin Diesel himself. Thought Groot was his first gig in voice acting

10/10 YES!!!!! NO SONG OR DANCE NUMBERS!!!!!! What a GREAT movie! Not just for kids, but adults as well. Kids will love it on one level, and adults will love it on another level. Even adults who are not parents will love it! There's humor, there's action, there's nostalgia, there's the perfect capture of being a child, there are positive messages (be yourself, don't kill, etc.), there's satire, there are adults who are not stupid and not comic relief....there's GREAT WRITING! AND NO SONG AND DANCE NUMBERS! Also, there are NO COMIC-RELIEF ANIMAL SIDEKICKS! Take that, Disney! I know some people might be resisting this movie, because it looks like it's aimed for kids - and they might be expecting a Disney clone (and we all know the bad results of Disney wannabes).....but TRUST ME. Give this movie a chance - you'll love it! Is there ANYTHING wrong with it? Well, the only thing that bugged me (just a little) were some close-ups of the characters - these certain close-ups had a "sketchy" look a la the movies "We're Back!" and "Balto". Fortunately, there's very little of this. Other than that - this is a PERFECT MOVIE!

I cry every time he says Superman, and I have seen this movie many times. There is nothing wrong with crying while watching an animated movie for children.

The Giants dream was a deleted scene. I’ve watched The Iron Giant more than 1000 times ever since I was a kid and that scene was never shown

The film is co-written and directed by Brad Bird. Now Disney Pixar.

i dont remember how many times i watched it in a theador, it was great.. somehow i was the only kid around my area that though it was very good movie, my friends though this movie lack things... i dont know we never explore what... maybe this movie dosnt have some aspect but i can tell behind the scenes worked so hard on the body language, the characters felt real, so many small details that big upgrade from my original expectations.

The whole point of the movie is that the Iron Giant is actually, a weapon of mass destruction used by a species that is capable of destroying entire planets he's one of a series of these Planet killing robots

a Childhood favourite a extremely underrated movie.
