The Iron Giant (1999) Review
Brad Bird had been working primarily as television animator before The Iron Giant. The film loosely adapts Ted Hughes's 1968 novel The Iron Man, published in the United States as The Iron Giant.
Tim McCanlies wrote The Iron Giant and wrote and directed Secondhand Lions, and the Iron Giant script deliberately made the weapon the protagonist.
