Hmmm, I haven't posted in this thread for a while. Anyway, I was watching The Iron Giant on Cartoon Network today. I actually really enjoy this movie. It's got a lot of heart.
For those of you who might not be familiar with it, it's an animated family film about a boy who becomes friends with a rather large robot. The movie takes place in 1958 and when the government begins an investigation leading to the Giant, our hero, Hogarth, takes it upon himself to save him.
Just because this is a family film doesn't mean you have to be a child to enjoy it. In fact, I think adults will like it just as much, if not more so, than children. There isn't any childish humor or stupid gags. There is just a cast of characters you can possibly relate to, and share in their adventure.
Not many who have seen the movie can find anything really bad to say about it, but it still seems a little underrated.
