The Iron Giant: Difference between revisions

 

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.

** There was originally going to be a brief flashback in which the audience would see a few vague details about the Giant's origins, but it was ultimately scrapped. 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.

* [[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.
