I loved The Iron Giant as a kid so this scene was my first major "What the fuck am I watching?!", moment. Probably wouldn't have worded it that way back then but.
Wasn't there another Duck Dodgers scene referencing an Iron Giant? I seem to remember one at a wedding where Robot-O sacrifices himself but Dodgers asks, "Didn't you use to drive a Camaro?"
fuuuuck i just unlocked repressed childhood memories about this scene. i had no idea what the iron giant was, i was still super sad for weeks about this. i'm pretty sure i cried myself to sleep first time i saw this. Fucking robot-O is my hero.
I remember this scene being more emotional in Spanish. Robot-O had a deeper yet smoother voice and his grammar was better, so he was more of a person than a machine
