Line 9:
The movie was produced by [[The Who|Pete Townshend]], who loved the original story and had previously done a [[Rock Opera]] based on it.

* [[Absent Aliens]]: A planned scene (that was ultimately scrapped) seems to confirm that the Giant ''was'', in fact, built by aliens. But said aliens are never actually seen or mentioned, with the action focusing on the Giant's adventures on Earth.
Line 52:
* [[Cold War]]: The entire film is couched in the paranoia and fear of the Cold War.
* [[Conspicuous CGI]]: Very notably averted; The necessity of cost-effectively and realistically portraying a metal man led to the Giant being rendered in 3D. The animators went out of their way to add slight irregularities to the lines while rendering the Giant to make it fit in more with spectacular results.
* [[Covers Always Lie]]: [http://i43.tower.com/images/mm108971293/iron-giant-jennifer-aniston-vhs-cover-art.jpg The VHS and DVD cover]{{Dead link}} for the film had Hogarth (in the Giant's hand) wearing a powder blue sweater, which he doesn't wear in the actual movie (he just wears a red-and-blue-striped sweater for most of the movie).
** Averted with the 2004 Special Edition DVD, which has a completely different cover where more emphasis is placed on the Giant and Hogarth is depicted in the form of a silhouette.
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: The giant's [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]].

The idea was to have a scene where he dreams about the [[Absent Aliens|alien factory]] where he was built, and to have the dream transmitted electronically to Dean's television for the audience to see. The scene was never animated, but some of the sketches for it can be seen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05XM9huSWNU here].
* [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?]]: Hogarth and the Giant question whether he has a soul.
* [[Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?]]: Kent Mansley with this line: "Hogarth? What an
* [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]: Subverted, the Giant easily could be if he was not so docile.
* [[You Just Told Me]]: How Annie tricks Dean into telling her Hogarth sneaks off to his junkyard every night.
