The Iron Giant (1999)
Based on a book by Ted
Hughes this animated film from director Brad Bird includes the voice
talent of Eli Marienthal, Jennifer Aniston, Harry Connick Jr. and Vin
Diesel. During the 1950s in America a robot from outer space makes
friends with a boy.
Despite being based on
the novel “The Iron Man” there are a number of departures from
the plot of the book and it serves more as a character inspiration.
With themes of Cold War pacifism and anti violence it does seem like
this film maybe made a few decades late but it is still well worth
watching as it is entertaining and has a number of really funny
moments. The voice acting is good but there are no stand out moments
and like wise the animation is sufficient but not much more.
4/5
