Hello. I was one of the animators on Iron Giant. So glad you loved the film. We're all very happy that it's found it's audience and is considered one of the very best of it's kind.
Just as an FYI. There will be NO sequel. It was never intended to have endless sequels. Just a "One and done" sort of thing.
And really....that's just one more thing that makes this movie all that much more special.
All the very best to you! :)
Can't believe I am the first one replying this comment, all I gotta say is salute to all of you have done to this amazing beautiful movie. For me, this movie surpass all the classic Disney movies back in the days.
Very cool, and thank you for this masterpiece. Recently sat down with my 6 year old son and man, never in a million did I think I would be sharing such a special part of my childhood with a little one of my own. He absolutely loved it.
Classic act, from an old lover of animation (I have Japanese animation from WWII, that sort of stuff. Plus all the obvious). Thanks for a great film.
Soooo in your opinion would you say the giant reformed and lived? That would settle my childhood tboughts of one of my favorite movies
I was born the year this movie came out. Thank you so much for helping to create a movie that touched my life in a way no other movie has since.
The Iron Giant is one of those movies that deserved to be way more popular when it came out.
Maybe the best that way, so not Hollywood today try to make some terrible reboot of this beloved classic.
Is a iconic cartoon movie, on of the kind from the glory of 1990s
at lesst its a cult classic now
My first job was working at a cinema around the time this was released, it hurt my soul to see the showings so empty.
Not sure what planet your living on but this movie was insanely popular, was loved by critics and audiences, has an 8.1 on IMDB and won several awards.
@@Wesleech I live in the world where it was a box office bomb, losing 20 million dollars during it's theatrical release? It was received well by critics, but it was not popular. Other than its opening weekend not a lot of people went to see the film, because marketing and advertising was nearly non-existent.
The comedic timing of this film is incredibly underrated, and the emotional beats still get me to this day. "Superman." 😭
Still to soon
The premise of the movie was "What if a gun had a soul" because brad bird lost his sister to gun violence
Oh my goodness, that’s awful.😱😞
"Gun Violence" 🙄
@@johnyd1911 oh sorry she was shot and killed by her husband
@@Kyrid "but guns don't kill people hurr durrrr"
@@Kyrid Really? I heard it was a mugging.
Regardless its a stupid idea that sounds like something a stoner would make because the person doing the killing already has a soul and look how that turns out.
“You stay. I go. No following.” 😭 😭 😭
As Cinemasins guy once correctly said, "Did Vin Diesel's voice just made me cry?"
"Superman"
My evil side sometimes hears “I stay, you go, no following!” And sees the Giant huck Hogarth at the missle… ;)
even tho i know the ending, that part and "superman" always gets me.
I am not Crying...You are Crying !
One of the few sentences in cinema history which bring tears to my eyes every time. "Superman." Don't be ashamed. It's one of the biggest scenes ever.
“You are who you choose to be.” I live by those words every day.
Also it’s literally impossible to watch this movie and not cry your eyes out.😭😭😭
The start of his rampage when he screams is one of my favourite peace's of media ever. The sadness he feels that turns into pure rage combined into just a painful yell hits so hard for me
It’s a perfect representation of the saying “beware the fury of a patient man”
The one time Warner Bros was like:
"You know these Disney animated masterpieces?"
"We're gonna do a better one. In half the time."
And they actually did it
Unfortunately the marketing department dropped the ball so no one went to see it.
One of the subtle touches just before the Giant makes his choice, was his quiet, almost inaudible “I fix!” Before his “you stay, I go..”
One of the greatest animated films ever made. When I see The Iron Giant I also think of The Rocketeer
The Rocketeer was a good movie too! Both it and The Iron Giant have that classic 40's-50's vibe going.
I like both of those movies.
They should react to that too.
@coldflamebluedragon196
Hello! I was one of the animators on this movie. You mentioned the "Rocketeer". Just a fun fact for you. The director of the Rocketeer (Joe Johnston) was given the duty to come up with the initial designs for our Robot. It was then fine tuned by Giant supervising animator Steve Markowski and the development team.
Glad you love the film! All the best.
Hogarth's dad was more than a pilot, in the photo he is stepping on the wing of his fighter jet to get into the cockpit. I figured he was a jet pilot in the Korean war and was killed. Brad Berg said he thought viewers would not notice the photo, but he was surprised at how many did see the picture and put that part of the story together.
“You are who you choose to be.” “Superman” 😢
In case anyone is curious, The Iron Giant is 50 feet (or 15.24 meters) tall.
I haven't seen this since I was super young, but damn, the animation holds up incredibly well against the animated movies of today.
Because hand drawn stuff doesnt really age, cgi however does
The 3D animation on the giant feels so seamless with the 2D animation of everything else, it's incredibly impressive.
Now you see jaby, why everyone loves this movie. Especially when ready player one came out and the iron giant made a cameo in it !! Everybody was so pumped 💯👌🏽
Don't be ashamed Jaby, I cried too when I first watched it 😊
Pfft, I cry every time I watch it
@@mrmr4622same here.
this guy is real one lol he never cry this was a good movies if the movie made him cry
I’m sorry, but I just gotta say this. As someone who has watched this movie probably more than 200 times, starting on VHS when it first came out; I just gotta say, the part where Dean sees the Giants dream? That’s brand new to both me AND the “special” release. But I freaking LOVE it.
I love the sequence, but i'm also glad I saw the theatrical version first. the moment he transforms was so shocking, cool, and also horrific. it comes out of nowhere and makes you actually fear for humanity.
Most underrated animated film, EVER. Ending still brings me to tears after all these years.
Probably the first movie that made me cry as a kid. And here I am 31 years old and it still makes me tear up. This movie has held up so well after so many years.
Such a good movie, and even though it wasn't a box office success, it gained a cult following overtime.
This movie has cut through the hardest hearts. It's so underrated
This movie both terrified and amazed me when I first watched it. It´s over 25 years old now but is still one of the best movies ever made.
Truly such an underrated movie. I also judged the book by it’s cover, and I only watched it because everyone kept talking about him when he launched in Multiversus
I love how it re-imagined those classic goody looking scifi weapons to actually be terrifying!
The giant was Mansly's white whale. Also director Brad Bird decided to make this movie after his sister was fatality shot by her husband. His premise was " what if a gun had a soul, but didn't want to be a gun?" Loved this movie growing up!
This movie was made by the same animation team that later made The Incredibles. The director, Brad Bird, wanted to keep the artistic touch of 2D animators and their designs relevant in the age of 3D animation. You can see the similarities in the designs of the characters. Especially with the long faced redheaded antagonist, and the attractively animated mom lol
But not only is the animation familiar, but the concept of having children and families experiencing very real, scary, dangerous, and mature situations.
i hate it when people say jokes would not fly today. yes they would, you are clearly laughing your asses off at them. they are just jokes
25:28 to quote Ted Lasso, in season 1 episode 7:
Ted: Hey, do me a favour, keep an eye on these guys, 'cause around the 74-minute mark, there's gonna be a room full of grown men crying.
Beard: I'll be one of 'em.
The film is based on a children’s book by British poet laureate, Ted Hughes. I read it as a kid and from what I recall it was a lot darker. The books is called The Iron Man and there was a sequel titled The Iron Woman which had, if I recall, a more nature-based story.
Ye the novel is markedly darker.
It's also more like Ghibli Miyazaki's Nausicaa or Mononoke in its message about what humans do to the environment rather than a criticism on gun violence and nuclear weapons..
There was a magic in the the late 90’s and early 00’s animation that randomly died for whatever reason… The Iron Giant, Titan A.E., Atlantis, Treasure Planet, Anastasia, etc. I’m definitely forgetting some bangers
"Same rules apply to rain as snow?"
Yes and no. There are 'degrees' to snow. If it's not cold enough, snow is 'wet' like the bottom of a snowcone. It's slushy and slippery. When 'perfect' snow falls, it's not any more dangerous than rain at the start. And might remain that way for at least the first full day. It's when the snow packs into ice that it becomes truly dangerous.
One of the better animations out there still, holds up really well after all these years.
This is what movies were like when I was a kid. They were to teach us very valuable moral lessons. You mentioned Aladdin - poor or rich doing the right thing matters. When Aladdin freed the Genie - doing for others before yourself. I love Iron Giant it is such a great movie.
The Iron Giant is excellent, and peerless. The Superman ending drops me to the floor every single time. And I'm 53.
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. It was on constant repeat when I was a kid. It's hilarious, emotional, and beautiful. It was directed by Brad Bird, who also directed The Incredibles, another great movie with a lot of depth.
"You are who you choose to be." ❤
That grace he said at that dinner was me every dinner I copied that grace word from word each time. My mom had sane reaction as his mom but rest of my family loved it lol
Vin Diesel's best acting to date
Do you mean voice acting?
@@faris7794 No acting .
I am groot
That prayer scene lives in my head rent free since i saw this movie
It's the classic tale of a boy and his dog. Told in a different way.
Went to the theatre to watch Wild, Wild West but decided to watch this movie instead, it was fantastic. One of the better decisions I've made.
He's alien.. he was sent as a giant man robot as a Trojan horse.. then when least expect it invade.. had nothing to do with the bump.. he simply did what was meant regardless of the amnesia.. he just never realized it.. but he chose to go against his programing after Hoggard. Bc he learned.. that's why he was able to go back from his killing programming after Hoggard stopped him. Bc he loved the planet the bond. If he had never met this kid.. he wouldn't of stopped . It's a great movie... great message u r who u choose to be. Sorry I just loved it
The Iron Giant is a very underrated animated movie. It's got darker undertones and is more realistic. The older I get, the more distanced I am from Disney movies (the current crop, not the 90s movies) coz of how childish or saccharine they can be. But The Iron Giant is a rare exception.
The saddest movie I have ever watched is 'Grave of the fireflies' directed by Isao Takahata (co-founder of Studio Ghibli).. The opening line of the movie is ' September 21, 1945. That was the night I died'. The movie left me mourning for these fictional character for days, heart broken.. It's a powerful masterpiece of a tragedy which I will never watch again (because it's THAT sad).
The director Brad Bird is now a live action film director... but back in the 80s he was a young animation prodigy.. a wunderkind if you will. He did a short called "Family Dog" that was very Simsonsesque (just prior to the Simpsons debuting on the Tracy Ullman show), and then went on to be an animation consultant on The Simpsons.. and his work on that show really upped the game on the first few seasons of that show. He also directed their music video, 'Do the Bartman" which got a huge primetime push on Fox back in the day.
I recall Brad Birds sister was shot and killed prior to this film so the whole "you dont have to be a gun" thing stemmed from that.
Thanks for your reaction to this great film, guys.
My understanding of the Mansley character is that he represents the simmering and barely controlled paranoia of the 50s. Back then, so many people were terrified of the threat of Russia and communism (Sputnik is mentioned several times in the film). Mansley's the quintessential portrait of that fear. His refusal to trust the Giant and simply leave him alone is caused by his unwillingness to let go of his fears, perhaps because they're the only thing that help him make sense of the world.
This movie is astonishingly good and an absolute guaranteed cry. It was one of the first movies I showed my now wife, and she cried. We showed our daughter last year, and they cried. I'm not sure how many times I've watched it. Maybe, 10 times? So, I obviously know how it ends and I cry every time.
“You are who you choose to be”
25:47 If you look closely you can see the general giving a military salute to the giant
Did you catch that Vin Diesel was the voice of the Iron Giant.
I remember hanging out with my buddy at the Glendale studio and he showed me the project he was working on. He took me to a hallway that had the entire storyboard for the iron giant up on the wall. I was so excited for this movie to come out.
I think the creators actually considered the robot dying, but decided it would be too dark for a kids movie
That’s Kent’s arc, his descent into the paranoia of the era. This is the time of the space race and Soviet Sputnik “ominously” orbiting over us. He at first is dismissive of the threat and then eventually let’s the fear of the unknown so consume him that he is willing to blast a town with a nuclear weapon to stop it.
We’ve seen in the news recently some individuals with guns have been whipped up into such a frenzy of fear that they are firing at people who turn into the wrong driveway or ring the bell at the incorrect address.
Genuinely one of my 10 absolutely favorite films of all time.
So so glad you’ve now seen this gem from the past.
The reason this movie has so much mature references and deals with more mature content is because the writer of the movies sister was murdered do to gun violence and the writer thought “what if a gun had a soul and decided that it didn’t want to be a gun”.
Best. Superman Movie. EVER!!!
This movie is one of my all time favorite cartoons. This and The Brave Little Toaster (which I also highly recommend)
This movie wrecks me every single time. It's such a beautiful movie, and the animation is incredible. I love the little touches and personalities with the characters, like Mansley slamming the phone down in rage, because it keeps slipping off the cradle. Everything is firing on all cylinders, and the voice acting is next level.
I cry every time he says Superman, and I have seen this movie many times. There is nothing wrong with crying while watching an animated movie for children.
I love this movie, this was the first movie I ever watched 18 years ago, time flies by😭
another hidden gem that i highly recommend to check is CAPTURE THE FLAG by Enrique Gato, and keep in mind that it is NOT KIDS GENRE, it is CINEMA
10/10
YES!!!!! NO SONG OR DANCE NUMBERS!!!!!!
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!
Brad Bird is the GOAT. Salute Warner for backing this project.
A few 'fun facts'*
- This movie came out in1999, the same year as Episode One of George Lucas's little space movie...🙄
- This was the third of thee animated features from Warner Bros that year (the first two being 'Quest for Camelot', and 'Cats Don't Dance'). either of those films did very well at the box office, and so the decision was made to not put any marketing behind this film... To this day, I hope the person who made that decision is still looking for work...😠
- To add insult to injury, no category existed at that time for Best Animated Feature at the Academy Awards...🙁
- Brad Bird went on to direct 'The Incredibles' for Pixar. During that film, note the call letters of the jet that Helen is flying; 'India Golf Niner Niner', or 'IG99'... A little nod to this film...😊
*.Obviously, a strange, new definition of 'fun' of which you were previously unaware... 😛
There was another animated Warner Brothers movie from the 90s that didn't do well at the box office, Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, based off of Batman: The Animated Series, it flopped at the box office because Warner Brothers didn't want to Market it because the year earlier, they got bombarded with complaints from angry parents for Batman Returns for being too dark and adult oriented, so when mask of the Phantasm was in the works, Warner Brothers didn't Market it to avoid parents complaining about it being an animated superhero movie involving murders and depression and corrupt politics
@@FanaticMitchell1 indeed… I often tell people to watch both’Batman Begins’ and ‘Mask of the Phantasm’ back to back, and determine where the character is better represented…
Don’t get me started on the 55 gallon drum of Dark Reality Grit, that Warner Brothers decided to dip all their films in following the Nolan Bat Trilogy…😝
I didn't know an extended version of this existed. The scene where the Giant has a nightmare isn't in the versions I have watched. I always thought it was just a deleted scene never added to the movie.
In 2015 Brad Bird got to finish that scene (and one other) that were originally cut for budgetary reasons, and the movie got re-released. I got to see it in theaters, and it was a wonderful experience.
@@IndieFilmmaker82 What was the other scene?
@@Ali-bu6lo it's a short scene that sets up Dean and Hogarth's mom's relationship a little more. None of it made it into this reaction.
I'm 35 and still feel like a kid when I watch this. Will never forget the marathon they ran of this on Cartoon Network, and how Sketchers or some other sneaker company had an ad tied in with this movie when it came out.
19:43 my favorite picture 20:06 he’s lying! 21:35 oh no! 21:52 battle mode 23:23-23:28 he’s back to normal.
This is one of my childhood memories I love this movie to my heart love it then love it now and the scene where Hogarth talks to the giant about a soul and it’s so deep
Iron Giant is hands down the best Superman movie ever made.
THE IRON GIANT was my first cartoon animation movie in 90s
The developers of Ratchet & Clank “Insomniac Games” did say that they took inspiration from Iron Giant to create the character of Clank.
14:36 He actually does in the first draft.
WAIT! JABY HASNT WATCHED IRON GIANT?? 😭 THIS IS A HUGE MOMENT FOR HIM AMD KRISTEN!! 😤🔥🥳
those are not tears, it's Liquid Pride and it's okay
The Giant deserves it
This is one of those rare 'it's ok to cry as a guy' movies; great script, solid animation, it's just a good dang movie.
90s had the best cartoons and cartoon movies
I remember buying this for my son when it came out memories ❤😊
The film is co-written and directed by Brad Bird. Now Disney Pixar.
All time favorite animated film when I was growing up still an absolute favorite to this day when people watch for the first I'm watching it ❤️ seeing those reactions & the feelings 😭 still hits regardless for me.
I watched this when I was in 4th or 5th grade. That was probably in 2013. Still amazing, along with Treasure Planet.
Extra points to Jaby for the Ratchet and Clank reference
Vin Diesel voicing the Robot, was great. Good practice for Groot.😶😎
This Giant is like Susano.
The destruction it self
90 movies were the best. Look at the recent Jumanji-light movies and compare to the original with Robin Williams. Original was so much more creative yet grounded in real issues stuff the sequels wouldn’t waist their time with.
I’m simply here for Kristen’s laugh.
a Childhood favourite a extremely underrated movie.
Watched it for the first time today because i saw this on my feed. It was amazing and iconic. Just realized that the giant being voiced by Vin Diesel himself. Thought Groot was his first gig in voice acting
Brad Bird is a modern master of animation. The Simpsons. The Incredibles 1 & 2. Ratatouille. Brad Bird knows how to drive a story with a lot of heart.
Don’t forget Brad Bird’s first classic work: An episode of Spielberg’s “Amazing Stories” called “The Family Dog”! It was brilliant.
When I saw the giant Go ballistic for the first time I was like LASER BEAMS😍 and I'm like oh my god he pulled a deadpool 🙌
5:12 "🙄😆Biggest thing in this town is probably the Homecoming Queen--😨😱OH MY GOD!!"
😂😂😂Best line read by Christopher MacDonald since Happy Gilmore.
"🙄😤Well, moron, good for Happy Gilm--😨😰OH MY GOD!!"
You can really tell what Pixar saw in Brad Bird when he joined them the year after this came out.
I may be gen z but this movie was still my childhood, i had good movies growing up
The whole point of the movie is that the Iron Giant is actually, a weapon of mass destruction used by a species that is capable of destroying entire planets he's one of a series of these Planet killing robots
I'm not watching any videos on this channel till i get Steph's and Andrew's reaction on kung fu panda part 2 and 3
We demand it 😤😤
Still love you though jabs💗
this is one of the animated movies consider the "ahead of its time" type of movie, i hope you react to Treasure Planet , this is another movie as good as iron giant, EL DORADO is another one of the same category, movies that flop at the box office, but after time, we notice these movies were as good if not better that the Disney ones
Treasure planet is criiiimimally underrated, I didnt get to see it kn theaters but saw it on TV when it was released and I loved every part of it
El planeta del Tesoro es de Disney , que es mejor que ls últimas películas o las más recientes de Disney.
Superman and Iron Giant
🤝
I see Kristen in the thumbnail, and i click immediately 😍
The Giants dream was a deleted scene. I’ve watched The Iron Giant more than 1000 times ever since I was a kid and that scene was never shown
Only a few movie scenes can make me cry, most of them from Lord of the Rings, but Iron Giant gets me every time before the movie even gets to the part that's beautifully sad.
