The Iron Giant (VHS, 1999, Clamshell)

Brad Bird|Theatrical release: 1999 | Rating: PG (MPAA)

Movie synopsis

Based on poet Ted Hughes' 1968 children's book, former SIMPSONS producer Brad Bird's adaptation proves to be a work of art the family can enjoy together--simple and visually captivating enough for kids and sharp and touching enough for adults. Hogarth is a young boy in 1950s Maine. When he finds a kind and very large robot (of unknown origin), a strong bond of friendship is formed between the two. It isn't long, however, until a government agent is on their trail, wanting to destory the robot. A beautifully rendered fable.

THE IRON GIANT

Created: 04/11/06
This movie will bring the child out in anyone, It's about a boy who befriends this huge robot, (whom you'll love), and throughout the movie they get into a few messes. The Iron Giant is also being chased by the military and you'll find hiding a giant robot isn't as hard as you'd think. Definately one of the best kids movies out there, though it's not as popular. This movie is sure to be a hit for your child and those of us who remember what it's like to be a child, Choose this movie for family night, I guarantee you'll enjoy it...

A great movie for little boys. Adventurous and imaginative! Some underlying anti-government and envirnmentalist themes, but only to the adult eye.
