Our take on The Iron Giant

Brad Bird's 1999 animated gem befriends a small-town boy with a giant metal robot fallen from the sky, in Cold War America gripped by paranoia. Tender, thrilling and quietly devastating about choosing who you want to be, it's animation with a soul of steel. If its heart and wonder moved you, seek out heartfelt animated adventures about friendship, sacrifice and gentle giants.
