Starring: Jennifer Aniston (voice of Annie Hughes), Harry Connick Jr. (voice of Dean McCoppin), Vin Diesel (voice of The Iron Giant), James Gammon (voices of Marv Loach/Floyd Turbeaux/General Sudokoff), Eli Marienthal (voice of Hogarth Hughes)

Kent Mansley (voiced by Christopher McDonald) tricks the army into firing a nuclear weapon at the Iron Giant. The Iron Giant then flies into the stratosphere and sacrifices itself to save Hogarth and the town from the explosion. Several months later, General Rogard (voiced by John Mahoney) sends Hogarth a piece of the Giant they were able to recover. On that night, Hogarth finds the piece knocking against his window, trying to get out. Turns out the Giant is reassembling itself in Iceland.

Personal comments about this movie?
A touching film about a young boy who befriends an iron giant. Unfortunately, he must hide the giant from a world who seeks to destroy it. I was pleasantly surprised at how good this movie was and I’m really glad I took the time to watch it. Unlike Disney animations, there is no obvious answer about “good” and “evil”. Not everything is in black and white, but in shades of gray. Quite simply one of the best non-Disney movies I’ve ever seen. Visually captivating for kids and humorous and touching for adults. Definitely recommend it to both kids and adults.
