*THE IRON GIANT* is an AMAZING movie! | First Time Watching Movie Reaction 

The Book is different, but the authors sister died due to gun violence so the concept of the movie is if "What If Weapons Had A Soul"

"[in the Giant's mind] You are who you choose to be." "Superman." Fun Fact: Theatrical directorial debut of Brad Bird. Silent Hero Fact: Excluding the yells and groans, the Iron Giant (Vin Diesel) only says a total of 53 words. Automobile Enthusiast Fact: Annie (Jennifer Aniston) drives a 1947 Chevrolet Advance-Design Thriftmaster. Kent (Christopher McDonald) drives a 1949 Chevy Fleetmaster and the car that he borrows is a 1954 Oldsmobile 98. Dean's (Harry Connick Jr.) motorcycle is a 1957 Harley-Davidson. Animated Rant Fact: Brad Bird personally animated the scene where Hogarth (Eli Marienthal) rants to Dean (Harry Connick Jr.) about his problems at a super fast pace after he gives him Espresso. Because the character is talking and moving about so rapidly, Bird had to actually draw at least some part of every in between, the frames in an animated film between the key frames. Movie Magic Fact: First traditionally-animated feature to have a major character, the title character, who is fully computer-generated. In order to better blend the computer-generated Iron Giant (Vin Diesel) into the traditionally animated film, technicians came up with a programme that gave the Giant's lines a slight "wobble" in order to match the natural line imperfections found in hand-drawn animation. The landscape and settings in the film were created using Elastic Reality, the trees and bushes in the woods are all still paintings that go through a software that warps and morphs them giving the perception that they are moving and lifelike.

True story. The ending scene in Iceland was a studio mandated last minute addition because WB was afraid kids would find it "Too Sad" It's not about being pro-gun. It's pro-responsibility.

14:49 I think it's applied that Hogarth's mom gave him the "it's not bad to die, and souls don't die" speech after his dad died in Hiroshima. There's a blink and you'll miss it moment where they show his dad's picture on a desk and he's dressed in a army uniform next to a plane.

Brad birds sister was murdered by the use of a gun. This movie was Brads way to reckon with that…”what if a gun had a soul?”

I've loved this movie since I was a kid, and as far as a hypothetical sequel, I've been saying something similar for years. Not just about that one screw though. An ideal sequel imo would basically be the story of the giant's reassembly, and what happens in the towns/cities those parts wander through on their way to Iceland.

Amazing reaction of my favorite movie!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Also, purdy sure genz feels “that way” since they’re seeing their country fall slowly into fascism…if I had to guess

So glad you liked the movie. I was one of the animators on the movie. It's not an 'anti gun' movie. It's about choosing the right path for yourself. We ALL....ALL of us. Have the choice of what our lives want to be. We can choose the path of great construction and positives. Or great destruction and the negative. The giant....CHOSE to not be a weapon. Kent....chose the side of the weapon and destruction. "we are who we choose to be" is a question in life we all have to answer for the good or for the bad. Thanks again. All the best.
