Trivia
Excluding the yells and groans, The Iron Giant only said a total of 53 words. See more »Goofs
When Annie's pickup is stopped by the soldiers, Dean says they need to get Hogarth to a hospital. At this point, Hogarth is still in the pickup. In the next shot, barely a few seconds later, he is already halfway down the street. Considering the speed he was running, he could not have got that far down the street in that amount of time.

What a GREAT movie! Not just for kids, but adults as well. Kids will love it on one level, and adults will love it on another level. Even adults who are not parents will love it!
There's humor, there's action, there's nostalgia, there's the perfect capture of being a child, there are positive messages (be yourself, don't kill, etc.), there's satire, there are adults who are not stupid and not comic relief....there's GREAT WRITING!
AND NO SONG AND DANCE NUMBERS! Also, there are NO COMIC-RELIEF ANIMAL SIDEKICKS! Take that, Disney!
I know some people might be resisting this movie, because it looks like it's aimed for kids - and they might be expecting a Disney clone (and we all know the bad results of Disney wannabes).....but TRUST ME. Give this movie a chance - you'll love it!
Is there ANYTHING wrong with it? Well, the only thing that bugged me (just a little) were some close-ups of the characters - these certain close-ups had a "sketchy" look a la the movies "We're Back!" and "Balto".
Fortunately, there's very little of this. Other than that - this is a PERFECT MOVIE!
