The Iron Giant (1999)

A box-office disappointment when released in 1999, The Iron Giant is proof that box office results shouldn’t matter to you unless you're seeing a share of the profits. This is a wonderful film, ripe to be discovered (or re-discovered if it’s been a while) at home. Filled with heartfelt emotion and rich characters, I can’t imagine anyone not enjoying it.

It’s 1957, the middle of the space race. A strange object falls from the sky near the small town of Rockwell, Maine. The strange visitor is a 50-foot-tall metal-eating robot (voiced by Vin Diesel) who befriends a lonely young boy named Hogarth (Eli Marienthal). With the help of a beatnik artist named Dean (Harry Connick, Jr.), Hogarth tries to keep his new friend a secret. That becomes increasingly difficult as a suspicious government spook named Kent Mansley (voiced by Christopher McDonald) investigates.

So loosely based on the novel by Ted Hughes it might as well be an original creation, this tale is rich with detail and care. You can watch it over and over and always pick up something new - even if you've seen the new Signature Collection enough times to memorize the added scenes. Director Brad Bird, who helped shape the story along with screenwriter Tim McCanlies must’ve scrutinized every line in the script, every single storyboard with a fine-toothed comb to ensure the results would be everything they could be. In Hogarth the viewers find a curious, lonely boy who shows maturity beyond his age (perhaps due to the death of his father) but also gets excited – as any of us would – at the prospect of befriending a giant metal man. The titular giant alternately takes on the role of child and parent to Hogarth and as they explore their corner of the world together, their adventures make for many great comedic moments. Then, Mansley will get a bit too close. The film becomes a nail-biter. To complete the gamut of emotions, there's the conclusion. I dare you not to tear up but all the way through, you’ll laugh. Big, varied laughs come from all sorts of directions except for below the belt.

This is a movie for everyone. It’s so clever, so funny and so… real. Even the film’s villain and side characters receive that extra bit of attention to make them feel like they exist beyond the confines of the screen. Mansley isn’t so much evil as he is a product of his time. He’s a jerk at points and takes things too far, but the film uses its setting to make you understand exactly what goes through his mind. You almost feel bad for him when he's made to look a fool. If you’re seeing the film with small children, be prepared to have long, animated discussions about all of the characters’ choices.

All that, and it’s a great-looking movie. You may be able to strain your eyes and pick out which scenes use computer imagery to create the perfectly crisp outline of the giant, but the effort will feel like a waste. It’s basically seamless. I’ve seen this film so many times I know nearly every line and gag by heart but it still enchants me.

Sometimes, I award 5-star ratings to movies but I secretly want to add an asterisk. I might be lenient because the politics of social norms of the time were different than now, the picture was the first of its kind and there’s no way anyone would’ve thought of doing X rather than Y or the flaws I see are so minuscule you’re just forced to ignore them. The Iron Giant doesn't need an asterisk. It's a perfect film; the kind I'd like everyone to see. (Signature Edition on Blu-ray, August 17, 2018)
