Brad Bird pitched this film as "What if a gun had a soul, and didn't want to be a gun?" after his sister was murdered through gun violence. This movie makes me all kinds of emotional.
-
Vin Diesel gets a lot of flack, but credit where credit is due, he helped make The Iron Giant and Groot two of the most lovable characters.
-
Nice little touch: while all the soldiers and townspeople are watching the Iron Giant flying up to intercept the nuke, the General is saluting him.
-
"You are who you choose to be" "Superman" I'm not a crier, but this one gets me in my soul. Now contrast that with "I can hear the bald," which just might be the funniest thing George has ever said.
-
Even knowing he’s going to be fine I still get emotional when the giant says “Superman” at the end.
-
One of my favorite things in this movie are the subtle references to Hogarth's father, and the reason for his absence. Hogarth has a pilot's helmet, and an adult size leather pilot's jacket. And on his nightstand, there is a photo of a pilot getting into a jet fighter. The implication is that Hogarth's dad was a fighter pilot, and he was killed in the Korean War. It adds to the anti-war theme of the film that a robot soldier befriends a lonely boy who lost his father in a war.
-
Between Hogarth saying "I love you" and the Giant saying "Superman" just before the nuke always makes me tear up really fast
-
"WHERE'S THE GIANT, MANSLEY?!?!!" - One of my favorite line reads in any animated film. Not only is this a great story, it's got some really good performances in it. And the cinematography (or whatever the animated equivalent is) ain't too shabby, either. The scene of the giant falling out of the sky reflected in the pick-up windshield is Grade-A shot composition.
-
"Superman." It's a simple line, but the story gives it so much weight. Damn, I love this movie.
-
"He's kinda like Fresh Cut Grass from Critical Role" Ha, nailed it right away.
-
Fun fact, in the original draft of the script the Iron Giant doesn't come back and is destroyed forever, but they realized that ending would likely traumatize many children, so they changed it to the ending we got.
-
Was looking forward to this, did not disappoint - between tears and belly laughs, a beautiful movie. "I can hear the bald" had me rolling George, one for the ages!
-
“Prune juice, large” popular line said by. Lt. Worf (Michael Dorn), on Star Trek: The Next Generation; the line itself was said by Worf, in the show’s iconic ship’s(USS Enterprise), ten forward(bar/lounge/commissary) and when he uses any starfleet replicator unit.

Glad you two liked it as much as pretty much everyone else. The movie bombed in theaters and became a cult classic with its video release, and eventually through word of mouth just became classic movie. I had MANY issues with Ready Player One, but one of my biggest was that they essentially turned the Iron Giant into the gun it didn’t want to be. Seeing him being used as weapon in a different movie felt like an insult to The Iron Giant.
-
I nearly spit my drink out when I saw this thumbnail. I swear you all deserve some kind of award for these. They're consistently and hilariously on point. 😎🤣😎
-
"It's bad to kill, but it's not bad to die." and "You stay. I go. No following." destroy me every time.
-
This is the first movie that actually made me cry. I remember seeing it on Cartoon Network when I was around 8 or 9, 20 years ago, and I didn't understand how people could be moved to tears at a movie. But it totally got me ugly crying, even made my mom shed a tear. I showed this movie to my nephew a few years back and he totally hated Mansley. He ranted about him for the rest of the day but loved it nonetheless. I do not understand how this movie flopped, it's a masterpiece.
-
Glad you guys enjoyed this! Perhaps now you can understand why a lot of us were upset at how Ready Player One absolutely missed the whole point of The Iron Giant.
-
Fun fact: old-school transformer stations really were that easy to turn on and off, though the fence would keep out anyone unauthorized. Said fence was already smushed by the giant, though. The reason for the ease of shutting it down is so you could easily shut it off if there was an accident.
-
I'm crying with you ALSO THE scene where the signal shows his dreams was never in the original. It was a deleted scene. It was a drawing concept they never created. Once they made the new version they added it.
