The Iron Giant: Difference between revisions

Directed by [[Brad Bird]] (who was one of the original writers of ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'' and would later move on to work for [[Pixar]]), ''The Iron Giant'' is a critically-acclaimed animated film from [[Warner Bros]], based on Ted Hughes' novel ''The Iron Man'' ([[Iron Man|not to be confused with]] ''[[Iron Man|that]]'' [[Iron Man|one]]). It is about a giant robot (the eponymous Giant) who falls to Earth in [[The Fifties|1957]], and a boy named Hogarth who befriends him.
