We really have to give nearly ALL of the praise to Brad Bird because before he signed on board, WB was still in that phase of "We must copy Disney's formula" with their Disney wannabe movies like Quest for Camelot and The King & I. They wanted The Iron Giant a funny musical and possibly live action at one point but once Brad Bird came in, his pitch was "What if a gun had a soul and didn't want to be a gun?" which was the question he wanted to tell ever since his sister died from her husband who killed her with a gun and the movie was gonna get made and dedicated to her. Making it more of a personal film to Brad Bird. It became less of a musical and more of a mature and existential kids movie about death and self-identity. And while it was a huge bomb, it was good enough in Pixar's eyes that it led him to direct my favorite Pixar movies: The Incredibles and Ratatouille. Ironically, The Iron Giant felt more like a 2D Pixar movie or even a modern Disney film than what WB was intending the movie to be like which was completely copying Disney's craze from the 90s .

He has proof that Hogarth without the power station, and if word got out through town that people’s power went out because a little boy was messing with it, people will start questioning where was the mom. Heck, he probably would find a way to pin the train wreck on Hogarth too. And because of this, people will start investigating the Mrs Hughes and the household, and find her unfit….

Controversial opinion: But I honestly think the ending should’ve been changed. Don’t get me wrong, eight-year-old me when I saw this movie had a happy smile on my face when I saw that the Giant turn out to be still alive. But now that I’m older, I think the ending ruins the theme of what Hogarth said about it’s okay to die, as long as you have a soul, because “Souls don’t die.”. If they really wanted this ending, maybe have it right at the moment when Hogarth is still sleeping and we see the bolt next to him, only for the film to cut when we hear the beeping noise, leaving it ambiguous to whether the Giant is still alive or not.

Every time I see an older movie that has a dark room scene involving developing photographic film, it's always really satisfying. When I was attending university, I took a course on Dark Room Photography, and all of our assignments involved learing and taking photos with a film camera, and it is tedious as hell using those things. Everything regarding the picture taking itself is completely manual; zoom, focus, light filter, shutter speed, all of it had to be specifically set and wasn't done automatically. Then you had to remove the film and do a step-by-step procedure of developing the film in a dark room that normally took at least an hour, ensuring that the film does not get exposed to light in the process, and you wouldn't even know if your photos came out okay until you did all this. If it didn't, or if the film was ruined at any point in the process, you would have to start over with a new film, which doesn't come cheap (you're in college; they expect you to pay for everything). So seeing scenes like Kent developing photos from Hogarth's camera in a bathroom under a dim red light are the kinds of things I get more appreciation from. Only complaint I have is that the photo would not develop that quickly in the developer. It takes a few minutes. But it's supposed to be a quick scene, so I understand they needed to rush it.

03:29 There are two versions of the movie. One with and one without the scene in it. Hograth catches small glimpse of the Iron Giant's dream on their TV. I liked that the scene was included, it gives some extra context for the story. While the reaction craze for this movie was going around, a lot adults had the same question, which that deleted scene answered, but they watched the older version without it so they were confused. I'm bias towards it, of course, but I can also see how not having that scene can add to the mystery of who the Giant is and that it doesn't matter as much. Personally I think it's makes the Giant's character stronger with that tid bit of his past. It emphasises the change nicely.

19:31 - To be fair, this was set in 1957, and the USS Nautilus *in this movie* would've only had access to very early ballistic missiles. Technically the Nautilus IIRC did not actually have missile tubes in any form during its service, especially in 1957, but... That being said, based on the missile's general size and look, I'm going to go ahead and say it's likely a UGM-27 "Polaris" SLBM with a single W47 Model Y1 thermonuclear warhead. That had a yield of approximately 600 kilotons. At that yield and being a surface detonation, the primary concern would be the radioactive fallout. Considering they're *both* evacuating the town *as well* as luring the Giant away, or at least planning to, they'd only have to lead it a little more than 3 miles (5 kilometers) away before dropping the nuke. The problem comes in with the radius and spread of the fallout... Fallout is a little...weird about how it spreads. There's the initial radius, and then there's the downwind radius. The initial is anything directly under the subsequent mushroom cloud, and inbetween that and anything downwind there's a narrow corrdior of comparitively less radiation. Long story short the initial radius of fallout would be approximately 6.25 miles (10 kilometers), and the downwind fallout would almost certainly reach as far West as the Great Lakes. So IF the wind direction was in their favor, detonating the bomb *at least* six and a half miles away would be *ideal* Honestly I'd just say screw the town. Evacuate it and just drop the bomb, and *pray* the wind draws the downwind fallout out to sea. Also yes I spent an hour and a half making this comment...I don't know why. lmao

This is one of my most favorite animated movies of all time. Brad Bird saved The Iron Giant & helped make it into what it is. The Incredible came shortly after & I love that the faces of the characters in both of these films look alike. It's kinda cute.

To this day, I still get chills when I see the raw levels of emotion that the giant shows whenever he thinks that Hogarth is dead. Everything from his hands trembling to the heartbreaking whimpers really demonstrate just how far the character has come since the beginning of the movie. His first few scenes have his body moving in a much more robotic and stiff way and this scene shows beautifully just how human the giant has become. This movie has always remained one of my all times favorite pieces cinema, let alone animated films. There’s a reason that this film has a cult following and I am so happy when I see new people getting introduced to it.

Remember watching this as a kid on a giant laser disk at a cousin's house and was absolutely moved by all the characters. This film has everything, it's funny, charming, sad and uplifting and very mature. Brad Bird is a master. He treats the characters as real people and it shows in all his films from The Iron Giant to The Incredibles.

Interesting how you mentioned the deleted scene. Nowadays, if you buy a DVD of this movie, the scene is included in full. Also another amazing thing, the original run of the DVD only had the shot of the giant about to crash into the Earth, no title, no copyright, no nothing. Just the image. Always love the ominous-ness of it, and watching this as I grew up, my favorite film of all time.

You’re just reminding me how much I love this movie. Never saw it in theaters, but I remember it annually airing on TV and always watching it. Even the CN marathon. My brothers and I friggin loved this movie. Then as an adult, I told grandma how much I wanted a blue-ray of it. After several years, for Christmas Grandma found it, and it was the biggest thrill from all us adults grandkids. Best gift.

I love this movie so much. Its absolute perfection. I cant think of a single thing wrong with it. It's an absolute achievement to animation and movies in general. It's a wonderful movie, and the documentary that comes with the blue ray adds to the experience. One of the reasons of this movie was anti gun, because brad bird lost his sister to gun violence. It's so tragic and he channeled that grief into a masterpiece. And that's why I love art.

7:23 Well of corse, it all makes sense now; he empathizes with the iron giant because he's related to him, with those balls of steel. Hogarth is Astro boy confirmed. 8:28 As far as I can reason, the get under the desk maneuver was just to keep the children from looking at a nuclear blast. The light from the blast could permanently blind them, making survival in the event they were not in the blast radius far more difficult. Giving the children false hope that they could easily survive doing something they had control over probably helped with the anxiety too. 21:00 Relatable emotional reaction.

I’ve been binging your content and I’m sooo glad you touched on this movie, it’s definitely one of my favourites and the style is so unique. it’s down to earth and very realistic, dare I say timeless even for being set in the 1940s. when I watched it as a kid (and even now tbh) the part where the Iron Giant goes full shoot-shit mode was terrifying and unsettling. I kind of wish there was a sequel or a spin off to see where the Giant ended up, and the kind of person Hogarth grew to be after his experience.

It's worth noting how personal the message of this film was to the director, Brad Bird. "What if a gun had a soul and didn't want to be a gun." Brad's sister was killed by a gun in a home invasion while Brad was still quite young, and it stuck with him his entire life. This movie almost seems like a part of his grieving.

I absolutely agree. It's a good thing the scene was deleted. That tid bit was super important and great to learn after the story is done if you want to know more about the world. But as a part of the story it would only draw focus away from the things that are important, like the relationship between Hogarth and the giant, or the fear that the army has because of the unknown of who the giant is or why he's here. Also I wouldn't be surprised to learn that he eats to make ammo

I guess I never viewed this as an anti-gun movie, but more of a "how you use it matters" movie. the Iron Giant himself is a weapon of mass destruction, but uses himself for good reasons such as protecting those he loves and only acting in self defense, which is exactly what guns should really be used for. also, I was always taught that the Red Menance was for Communism as a whole and not just Russia, but im not entirely sure if that's accurate

I loved this movie as a kid. Used to watch it a lot. I want to believe this movie was the main inspiration for the Bumblebee. While a lot of reviews I've seen compare that movie to ET and rarely did I see it be compare it to The Iron Giant. Which I think shows more how underrated and unappreciated The Iron Giant is.

Just like coraline, masterpiece. One book, one movie. The people saying they need a coraline 2 clearly don't know that there's only one book. Plus what would the sequel be about? The beldam is gone, the ghost kids are free, and Coraline is happy where she is. Just like how Hogarth is happy where he is. These masterpieces do not need sequels.
