American Animation That Gets It Right!

Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2002

Verified Purchase

*
THIS is the kind of homegrown animated feature film American audiences have been waiting decades for! No nausiating operatic renditions, no insulting goofy sidekicks, no talking anthropomorphized animals, no tapdancing kitchen appliances -- No Dumbing Down!
Warner Bros. appears to have grasped something that other U.S. film studios with animation divisions still quite haven't yet: Warner understands that there is a REASON ''Nippon no Anime'' feature films have such a huge worldwide appeal! DreamWorks SKG still seems to want to mimic the Disney model (though taking their themes to a somewhat higher, more mature level) -- which really should come as no surprise, since former Disney icon, Jeffery Katzenburg, is now one of the major driving forces at DreamWorks SKG, and many former Disney animators are also now part of the DreamWorks team, while Disney appears to be ''playing it safe'' by sticking to the old, non-varying ''Disney Standard'' with their own ''in house'' productions and choosing, instead, to merely acquire the American rights to popular established Japanese anime features like ''Mononoke Hime.'' Warner's ''THE IRON GIANT,'' by contrast, breaks with the tired and worn American tradition and presents a very beautiful animated feature with a very beautiful story.
The animation for ''THE IRON GIANT'' still reflects a strong American artistic style -- which is not necessarily a bad thing, since it supplies the viewer with a comfortable ''familiarity'' and not a sense ''foreignness'' or slight alienation. But as the story unfolds it immediately begins to sink in that this is NOT some typicical ''kiddie cartoon'' movie; that it is unique as homemade animated features are concerned; that it is a melding of animation and good storytelling that places it light-years ahead of your average run-of-the-mill Disney animated feature. Also, the marriage of traditional ''cel animation'' with ''CGI,'' as used in this film, flows very smoothly and believably -- it is one of those rare films where the two radically different animation ''technologies,'' if you will, compliment one another and work perfectly together, rather than clashing with each other and distracting the viewer. (Rintarou's ''METROPOLIS'' is the ultimate example of a ''cel/CGI'' wedding gone bad!)
Playing it straighter than most American animated features geared toward a younger audience, ''THE IRON GIANT's'' real beauty is in its storytelling -- Not only is it a delight to watch for its warm & touching ''lighthearted'' moments, but it is also a very powerful and thought provoking experience, revisiting some of the old morality play standards such as friendship, acceptance, personal responsibility, and the freedom to decide one's own life course.
Set in a small New England seaside village in the 1950s-- during an era when ''Red Menace,'' extra-terrestrial and atomic bomb paranoias are the order of the day --''THE IRON GIANT'' follows the adventures of Hogarth Hughes, a young boy who is the only child in a single parent household. One night, when Hogarth's mom is asked to work late, he discovers evidence of what he assumes to be ''invaders from Mars'' -- a belief inspired by the earlier rantings of a supposed ''eyewitness'' who claims to have had an actual physical encounter with one of the ''Martians.'' Armed with his pellet rifle, Hogarth marches off into the woods around his house looking for he-has-no-idea-what and encounters the title character ... a towering robot with a deadly secret.
As a result of the unpredictable events which take place during that first encounter, an unusual bond forms between these two unlikely and lonely souls: Hogarth, who has few friends, and the ''metal man,'' who finds itself alone in a foreign place with no memory of who it is, where it's from, or what its ''purpose'' is.
But the evidence of the robot's activities do not go unnoticed by the Government, which suspects that Russian activity may be at play in the small town. Kent Mansley, a fiery and relentless ''Commiephobe'' is dispatched by Washington to investigate and eventually comes to suspect-- and later prove --that the metal giant does in fact exist and that Hogarth is somehow connected with it, resulting in our young hero's attempt to stay one step ahead of their pursuer, which includes enlisting the aid of a new friend, Dean, who also happens to have the perfect hideout for a gigantic ''metal-eating'' machine.
Despite the fact that a suspension of logic and reason is required in order to get past the ''metal-eating robot that can experience physical hunger'' sub-theme (just go with it), the entire movie plays out very well, right down to its heroic, tear-jerking climax. ''THE IRON GIANT'' would, without question, be one of my first picks for a ''Top Ten'' favorite movies of all time list (...and that's not a statement I make lightly). My only regret is that I never got the chance to see it on the big screen when it played in theatres.
Simultaneously humorous and dramic, I strongly recommend ''THE IRON GIANT'' for adults as well as for its younger target demographic. To miss out on this one is to truly miss out on something special.

If Norman Rockwell were to ever make a movie, I think it'd be something like this. There's something perfectly, quintessentially American in this film that's awfully hard to find. Brad Bird really nailed it. This gorgeously-animated film explores boyhood, maturity, and the eternal struggle between free people and the cowardly power-hungry who try to control them. You want a movie to make you feel good? To help you see a better life, and a better future for America? Try this one.

MOVIE: ?.? • VIDEO: ?.? (35.2 Mbps) • AUDIO: ?.?

The first time that I saw this movie was when it initially became available on home-video, back in November of 1999. I thought then (as I do now) that it was VERY refreshing to see an animated movie that did NOT have any of its characters bursting into song. Also, just as pleasing, was the fact that it did NOT have any cute, cuddly talking animals — whose ONLY real purpose for being in the movie is to sell merchandise to kids (yes, I'm looking at you Disney). And, I thoroughly enjoyed the fact that, though it is ostensibly for kids, it is still a very smart movie that didn't insult the intelligence of its viewers.

By now most people are probably familiar with the story of how this movie — which bombed horribly upon its initial theatrical release in the fall of 1999 — has since then gone on to become a highly respected and MUCH beloved cinematic classic. I believe that the reason that this movie is now so well liked is because it can be enjoyed on so many different levels — which is why BOTH adults AND children absolutely love it. Plus, it's just a glorious example of old-school, (mostly) hand-drawn, animation as an art form. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

NOTE: I bought this set for the "Signature Edition" version of the movie (since I already had a very serviceable copy of the original "Theatrical Edition" on DVD) — therefore, while I sampled portions of the "Theatrical Edition" version that is contained in this set (just to make sure that it wasn't defective), I don't have any plans to EVER watch it in its entirety. So, ALL of the following "video" and "audio" information pertains to the "Signature Edition" version ONLY. (But, if I ever do watch ALL of the "Theatrical Edition" version, then I'll come back and update this review.)

See the other reviews on this page for more detail and/or other opinions regarding the plot of the movie.

VIDEO: 2.4:1 • Color • 1080p • MPEG-4 AVC

This movie's image features dazzling, over-saturated colors, sharply rendered panoramic vistas, and very good apparent depth. It also has very good, to frequently excellent, contrast and has very good shadow detail (as seen in the many dark and shadowy areas, such as the night scenes located at the very beginning of the movie, and the dark scenes located in the forest). Also, fine detail is frequently evident in some of the brighter scenes and in the close-ups of the characters. Lastly, there are no obvious artifacts such as banding, specks, white dots, hair-lines or color fluctuations (probably because it is an animated feature, which makes extensive use of CGI [which is an observation, and NOT a complaint]). Overall, this movie's presentation on blu-ray has VERY good, to frequently excellent, picture quality — and, should satisfy all but the very pickiest of viewers.

AUDIO: DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 (48 KHz, 24-bit)

This is another soundtrack that, if it was a 7.1 mix, I would rate a 5+ for sound quality without hesitation — as it is, it is still one of the very BEST sounding audio presentations that you will ever hear on a home theater system regardless of the number of channels. It has deep bass, very active and highly directional surround channels, clear well-placed dialog, ambient sounds that effectively convey the on-screen environment, and some of the best recorded music that I have ever heard in a film's soundtrack. This is an outstanding soundtrack, that should satisfy all but the ABSOLUTE pickiest of listeners!

Some animated features will bring out the best in all of us, be we grumpy old sour prouts or innocent young toddlers. They show you things that fuel your dreams and teach you things it can take years to learn from daily experience, and you won't even notice it because of the great entertainment value behind them...
Of course, i wouldn't waste your time by writing that piece of info if Brad Bird's ( the director of the simpsons a.o.) ' The Iron Giant' wasn't one of these features:
Every kid wants a pet at one time or another in their life, and unfortunately for Hogart Hughes' mother, some seem to prefer the more unorhtodox kind to the traditionals. Hogart for example has already ( unintentionally) wrecked his house with a raccoon and his mother's diner with a squirrel, you can imagine that if these small creatures can cause such havoc, what could happen if he got his hands on something bigger, such as let's say, a fifty foot, metal-eating, iron robot... This, coincedently, is exactly what happens. The boy tries his best to hide it, but unfortunately people tend to notice huge bites of steel been taken out of their cars. As if that wouldn't be freaky in normal times, this was in the middle of the cold war, where paranoia was at it's highest. Soon a federal officer, full of himself and dying to get some credit to his name, is sent in from Washington and well... destroying an enemy giant machine that is 'sent to tae over America' is one way of obtaining that credit.
As for the robot, he lost his memory as he crashed down to earth, and has to start again from scratch. With help from Hogarth he slowly learns that being human is not being made of flesh and blood, but something deeper, and throughout the entire film he strives to come one step closer. That is where the treasure of this film lies: in showing that anyone or thing, even one of the most brutish creatures imaginable can be as wonderful a person as any if he chooses to be.
It is a thrilling adventure, with humour for all audiences, supported by a touching, warm story and perfectly developped characters. The scenery is beautiful and the music matches accompanies the mood and sights of the film perfectly... a true joy to watch... 5 stars !!!
