[@colegensch787]

I've seen the end bit from the movie that was genuine and touching while sad at the same time.

[@NicholasIrvin]

I got a question for the both of you.Would you be interested reacting to a movie called the rocketeer

[@DanGamingFan2406]

"What if a gun had a soul and didn't want to be a gun." That's the pitch Brad Bird gave for this film, which he made as a memorial to his sister who died from gun violence.

[@Oliver-xt2ob]

DUDE HOW ARE YIU EVERY WHERE

[@ghostspider2056]

It’s also based on an actual book, Brad made some tweaks to it with his pitch, like instead of nuclear bomb at the end, the giant faced a dragon from space, one of several changes.

[@sonofkarma5461]

Yeah exactly, I’m surprised it’s not a Well known Fact

[@Кыскивмиске]

Woooooooow, that's such a rare unknown fact 🤯 You should copy it into every movie reaction comment section in existence

[@maybetoby]

​@@ghostspider2056space dragon would've been cool for a sequel

[@r40slantmasternyc60]

Sad and interesting fact about the movie: the iron giant was originally gonna have different moments and different scenes, compared to the final draft but l everything changed due to a tragic event when brad bird’s sister was shot and murdered by her own husband in 1989 which changed everything to the point when brad bird changed the movie’s message “what if a gun had a soul, how would it feel on what it’s purpose is?” Which is a tight reference to the event when brad bird’s sister was shot by a gun used by her husband

[@DanielLovesArt]

One of the only people I've seen state this fact without starting it by saying "Fun fact". Bravo.

[@KERRYPIKE]

The iron giant is a great friend that everyone wishes they could have.

[@vipertiger6716]

The Iron Giant isn't a movie. It's a masterpiece

[@jonathancruz5932]

The best at the end of the 90s

[@BatmanFan76]

This movie is definitely a Brad Bird classic. There’s even some celebrities you never really noticed. Jennifer Aniston as Hogarth’s mom, Harry Connick Jr. as Dean, Christopher McDonald as Kent, even Vin Diesel voiced The Iron Giant himself (he’s really good at voicing characters with the fewest words). This is definitely a great movie to watch with the family or friends.

[@sonofkarma5461]

He actually made this Movie in memory of his Sister who died from Gun Violence

[@Кыскивмиске]

Fun fact: British scientists discovered that mushrooms can send signals to each other through mycelium. They decoded those signals and turned out even mushrooms know about Bird's sister gun violence accident.

[@XxBlade.88401]

Their reaction at 34:31 after Kent lies to the General 🤣🤣

[@itacryan]

This will shock you. In the film The Incredibles on the jet, with Helen over the radio they mention “India Golf 9er 9er or IG-99” because I.G. stands for Iron Giant and 99 is for the release year of 1999, and because Brad Bird directed both films.

[@codymoe4986]

A movie director, inserting an Easter Egg into one of their films as an homage, isn't very shocking. More of a "fun fact" or a "did you know" type of thing... P.S. Thanks for the fun fact...

[@damacattack8434]

The Iron Giant is STILL that legendary animated gem, and it's a damn good move for them to add The Iron Giant himself as a playable character on MultiVersus.

[@isaiahadams1996]

Here’s a few interesting facts: - The Iron Giant is based on a novel called The Iron Man. The reason Warner Bros changed the title is to avoid confusion with the Marvel character Iron Man. - Hogarth was originally gonna have red hair. - Eli Marienthal, the actor who plays Hogarth did voice acting work for other Warner Bros projects after The Iron Giant. - Though I’m pretty sure a lot of us know this, Brad Bird, the director of this film is also the same director behind Pixar’s The Incredibles. - One of the most difficult things in making the movie was figuring out how to show off the Giant’s powers without having him kill anyone.

[@itsyaboijordan415]

The Iron Giant is a childhood favorite of mine. It didn’t really do so well when it first came out but it became a cult classic as time goes on.

[@SuperFranky77118]

We owned that movie on dvd and it’s still my favorite

[@summerskull9379]

I just realized Timothee kind of looks like Dean 😆

[@jonathanhallberg3009]

I'm a 33 year old man who has seen this movie many times and I have no problem saying that I cry to this movie every time I see it when the Iron Giants sacrifices himself. Not because it´s sad, but because it´s one of the purest depictions of what we can all accomplish. He is a creation of war and yet he fights his very nature as said war machine because he wants to be much better. He wants to be Superman! And just like the Iron Giant, we can all strive to be better than what we are. Beautiful movie with a beautiful message!

[@jonathancruz5932]

28:08 This is uncut edition. It makes a perfect sense. The Giant and the others are exterminators across the galaxies.

[@mash9104]

Something I have in common with the iron giant is that I’ve also been hit by a train

[@tfrowlett8752]

There’s a sculptor in my city, Martin Jaine, who built a massive iron giant model out of scrap metal for his business. It even has a little Hogarth in his hand. I’ve also never seen this scene 28:03, the Australian version doesn’t have it. I’ll have to try and find the international version

[@cocomami91]

One of the best 90’s animated movies of all time. I grew up watching this movie and it is still good

[@notafamousperson95]

i love how everything is connected, even squidward is in this movie! (Rodger Bumpass)

[@scoutart1508]

MY NUMBER 1 FAVORITE NON DISNEY ONE, and as an interesting fact, the second interaction of dean & annie and the Giant's dream were originally deleted scenes and then on the signature edition, which you just watched, plus the fact that the original version it was a mush commercial in the tv and NOT tomorrowland

[@isaiahadams1996]

The Iron Giant is the very first non-Disney animated film I saw. Edit: PS, the part where the Giant got hit by the missile still makes me sad, even though he comes back to life

[@JackTheWind]

Fun fact: this movie is actually based off of a British book by author Ted Hughes (I studied it in primary school), he died before the films release and his daughter I believe saw it for him and loved it

[@Кыскивмиске]

You didn't mention he challenged a dragon in the original

I hold this film close to my heart cause it holds the memories of all the times my brothers( who have since passed away), and I watched it as kids, especially in those calm Friday nights. I miss them every day, I will forever cherish those memories 😢

8:06 that my friend,its called dedication and talent for rhe craft of filmmaking

This movie is an underrated masterpiece and it's proof that Brad Bird could make a fantastic Superman film. This movie is basically a love letter to Superman.

[@samuelcollantes1175]

All i can think of while i watch this movie Is "Superman" , a great childhood memory indeed. Happy thursday morning, Tim, take care and God bless you. Greetings from Colombia to you as well

[@GreatgunYu]

Man it’s ashamed this movie didn’t do well when it first came out in theaters. It’s such a moving movie! Glad it eventually got noticed after its home media release Also this was directed by Brad bird who would direct and write The Incredibles at Pixar a few years after, which was a hit!

[@speedracer2008]

Christopher McDonald voiced Kent Mansley to perfection. He makes you hate him.

[@adrianflores2423]

I also saw this film when i was 5 or 6, seen at my school once and then aired at Cartoon Network. This is one of the most brilliant and beautiful animated i have ever watched. Although its based from from the novel The Iron Man (1968), Brad Bird wrote the treatment film based on his sisters death from gun violence, with this questioning, What if the gun had a soul and didnt want to be a a gun at all.

[@iKvetch558]

Just gonna support the channel by commenting on this reaction to this classic animated film to put in a good word for Duck n Cover, and poor old Bert the Turtle. When you consider that the first reaction of the vast majority of people to a gigantic flash of light outside their windows would be to run to the window to see what was going on, the government needed some way to encourage people not to do that. And they needed a catchy slogan and a mascot and all the bells and whistles of 1950s advertising to get it into people's minds to stay...and you gotta hand it to them, we do remember it to this day. The important thing to keep in mind, is that the whole idea came about in 1951, before the hydrogen bomb had even been first tested, so it was from a much less dangerous time in the Cold War nuclear arms race.

[@isleofredemption]

I love that the general salutes the Giant after the… um… impact. >_>

[@Mizfit100880]

Daaaaamm y’all got the extended version with the Giant’s dream sequence? My DVD didn’t have that, it just had it as a deleted scene still in storyboards

[@matiasmarcelotoledop]

It's a shame that this movie wasn't apreciated when it came out, but im glad we're in a time when now it's a cult classic

[@nicolasbaron4506]

This is such a brilliant film! You could totally see the connection between Hogarth and the giant. As the movie goes on, you really start to care for the giant because you know that he's not so bad after all.

[@rowlandandrew9597]

Hi Tim and Clariss the Iron Giant is a masterpiece of a movie I grew up with this movie The first time I saw this movie was on cartoon network The part Were the iron Giant says you stay I go now following I go straight to pieces I cry 😢 every time

[@joshuawells835]

Even by Cold War standards, Mansley is paranoid. In addition to the Soviets launching Sputnik in 1957, President Eisenhower granted senior military commanders the authority to retaliate with nuclear weapons in situations where the President could not be reached or was unable to respond to a nuclear attack.

[@MrNoLen5]

14:03 this might be a funny joke now. But actually, back then, when TV was invented, people were blown away and started to think anything was possible, and when other things were invented, they weren't surprised.

[@sketchygetchey8299]

Back when Blockbuster (RIP) was around, I would always try to go for this while my older sister always went for Swan Princess. It was a competition where she would always win, but I at least had a better taste in movies. (For all the Swan Princess fans, I thought opening song and fight at the end were good. 😇)

They now live in Maine, moved here 10 years ago, and there's lots of wooded areas with houses miles apart, no one heard him scream.

[@megacrashthehedgehog5377]

One of my favorite movies of all time. A great example of a film that sadly didn't perform well, critically or financially, on its release, but is thankfully much better appreciated today. And I'm glad a movie like this, with its themes and messages, is one people will continue to show their kids for generations to come.

Try checking out Where the Wild Things Are from 2009. The ending of that movie will make you guys cry

This is one of my favorite animated films. I saw it when it was first released in 1999. Another animated film with a scientific theme is the Don Bluth "The Secret of N-I-M-H" (1982)

I love this movie so much. Dean is my absolute favorite.

[@lightningmonky7674]

I really like deans style, even though it's the late 50s his clothes could pass for today, and his attitude\personality too

[@maybetoby]

The animation of this movie is amazing. Fun fact: Iron Giant wants to be like Superman. Agent Kent Mansley is voiced by Christopher McDonald, who voiced Superman's father Jor-El in Superman: The Animated Series. He later voiced an older version of Superman in Batman Beyond. 28:57 he doesn't have that kind of authority, but Hogarth doesn't know that. 29:39 they don't know I don't view it as anti-war, just more anti-fear. Especially of the unknown. General Rogard was much more level-headed than Agent Mansley for example.

[@colegensch787]

There's lots of classic things to watch as a reaction past time. I highly recommend reacting to the 1999 film Inspector gadget with Mathew Brodrick

[@KairaSuperSayan93]

I just rewatched this movie earlier this year. It's amazing and actually teaches you a bit about the Cold War. It's actually got a great cast with Jennifer Aniston and Harry Conick Jr

[@sockygaldamez9492]

I really love this movie ❤️❤️ the animation and story and as well as the characters is what stood out for me the most and I agree it is very underrated and masterpiece on its own 👍loved both of your reactions to it can’t wait to see the next movie you watch together 😊😄

[@slenderfoxx3797]

The Iron Giant is such a classic. A favourite of mine and still makes me emotional today lol. I wish we could get more mature/family driven animated films like this and Coraline, the incredibles etc. And just more hand drawn films in general I miss this art style. Also the ending. Some might dislike his reveal of being alive as it takes away at the emotional sacrifice...but it also adds something. It adds the fear if realising that humanity hit him with their most powerful weapon and it caused no permanent damage. And knowing that he is indeed made as a war machine and that there's hundreds more out there...pretty scary to think about 😅

[@tyrelmitchell9316]

Been a while since I watched this movie but if I remember correctly, the engineer and fireman of the train that hits the Giant are caricatures of Ollie Johnston and Frank Thomas, two Disney animators who were part of the legendary 'Nine Old Men'

[@danionescu1271]

Very few movies made me cry, but this is one of them. "Marley & me" was another one

[@elieselmarcano3117]

YES

[@DustyJones1997BGCL]

This was Vin Diesel's best performance 🎉

[@jonathancruz5932]

A well done voice acting

[@speedythedragoness5743]

I have not seen this movie in forever. Since I was young and at a local dentistry. This movie is really good for it's time of release, and still holds up. And I agree with Clariss, Kent was definitely an A-hole for sure. It's like he didn't care at all about Hogarth being dead or alive or the Giant. It's like he wanted them both dead. And even tho the Giant is a war machine, he can change. Like Hogarth said "You are who you choose to be". I'm still surprise that this movie didn't do all that great for being a masterpiece. And with that should have deserved a sequel. Sadly we'll never get one. But this movie will always be a memorable movie to remember.

[@Shredderman230]

Great movie choice I have to say I love this movie but it’s been a while and I have to say the iron giant that sacrifices himself to the missile made me cry to.

[@MissFlow]

I'll give you a little something to think about: Remember when Hogart was waiting in the woods for the giant to show up, to make a picture? He made one accidentally of himself while cleaning the lens. This is the exact picture Ken Ramsley finds while developing the photos. The fact that the giant was in this picture in the background gives you an indication that he was behind Hogart for a great amount of time during his waiting 0_0

[@ovidsomni5618]

idk why but i watched the ad all the way through... man i need those cables lol

[@twist58]

Director Brad Bird gave us something that should greatly be looked upon than initially given back in 1999. Featuring the voices of Jennifer Aniston, Eli Marienthal, Harry Connick Jr, and Christopher MacDonald. The Iron Giant was only the beginning for Brad Bird in his directorial work!

[@silentassason]

And then Adam Sandler made this animation studio animate "8 Crazy Nights" 🙃

Masterpieces age just like the wines, "the more time passes, the better it will taste"

[@nickthedreamer4434]

Thankfully, since its release, Iron Giant has been getting a lot more recognition that it initially received and has a particular prowess in Pop Culture. The version you watched was actually an updated version of the film with extra scenes that was shown in theaters for...either it's 20th or 25th anniversary (I forget which but it did much better in theaters that time). In fact, due to said Pop Culture status, The Iron Giant himself has also sorta been used as selling points for crossovers with him in it such as the films Ready Player One and Space Jam 2 as well as WB's fighting game MultiVersus (where he's seen flying with Superman).

[@MM-NolascoPH]

Such a great animated film! It’s a real shame that it did poorly at the box office, but has made an impact on audiences after the theatrical release. The comedy was on point, as well as the emotional moments, especially with the giant’s sacrifice. Best part is that he survived in the end, which is cool.

[@vladyvhv9579]

Iron Giant and Titan AE are the 2 of those great animated movies that're more cult classic status than the higher-visibilty stuff. But yeah, they are for much the same reason as so many other things that reach that status are. They're good, but got beat out at the box office for one reason or another.
