- There is no doubt in my mind that The Iron Giant is one of the most underated films ever made. It is such a shame that Warner Bros. did not have the confidence to.
- In May, Tomorrowland director Brad Bird let slip that The Iron Giant, his 1999 box-office dud turned beloved animated classic, might find its way back into.

Iron Man 2 is a 2010 action-adventure video game loosely based on the film of the same name. It was released in Europe on April 30, 2010, [3] and in North America on.
One day, Hogarth hears a local fisherman talk about something that surpasses anything he could dream up: a fifty- foot robot that fell from the sky into a nearby lake. Needless to say, Hogarth's mom, Annie (voice of Jennifer Aniston) finds this a little hard to swallow, but when Hogarth finds the robot (voice of Vin Diesel) and fishes him out of the water, his pal Dean (voice of Harry Connick Jr.), a beatnik sculptor who also runs a junkyard, offers to help by hiding the robot with his salvage. A government agent named Kent Mansley (voice of Christopher Mc. Donald) soon gets wind that there's a mechanical invader of unknown origins in the neighborhood and wants to wipe out the potential threat. However, the robot (which loves to eat metal and is learning to talk) turns out to be friendly, and the boy in turn tries to teach his new pal the ways of humans. The Iron Giant is loosely based on the book The Iron Man by late British poet Ted Hughes, previously adapted for the stage by rock musician Pete Townshend, who executive produced the film.

The Iron Giant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The Iron Giant is a 1. American animatedscience fiction film using both traditional animation and computer animation, produced by Warner Bros.
Feature Animation and directed by Brad Bird in his directorial debut. It is based on the 1. The Iron Man by Ted Hughes (which was published in the United States as The Iron Giant) and is scripted by Tim Mc.
Canlies. The film stars Eli Marienthal, Christopher Mc. Donald, Jennifer Aniston, Harry Connick, Jr., John Mahoney, and Vin Diesel. Set during the Cold War in 1.
Hogarth Hughes who discovers a giant metallic robot who fell from space. With the help of a beatnik artist named Dean Mc. Coppin, they have to stop the U. S. military and a federal agent named Kent Mansley from finding and destroying the Giant. The film's development phase began in 1.
The Who's Pete Townshend, though the project took root once Bird signed on as director and hired Mc. Canlies to write the screenplay in 1. The film was created traditionally, with computer- generated imagery used to animate the title character and other effects. The understaffed crew of the film completed it with half of the time and budget of other animated features.
Michael Kamen produced the film's score, recorded with the Czech Philharmonic. Upon its release, the film saw wide critical acclaim from critics and audiences. It was nominated for several awards, winning nine Annie Awards. Due to an unusually poor marketing campaign, the film significantly under- performed at the box office, making $3.
Through home video releases and television syndication, the film gathered a cult following and is now widely regarded as a modern animated classic.[5][6][7] An extended, remastered version of the film was screened theatrically in 2. Blu- ray. In October 1. Russian satellite Sputnik is put into orbit, an enormous robot from outer space crashes into the ocean near Rockwell, Maine.
The robot makes its way inland and wanders into the forest. Nine- year- old Hogarth Hughes discovers the robot one night as the robot begins eating the powerlines of an electrical substation until electrocuted. Hogarth shuts down the power, saving the robot, and returns home. Several days later, Hogarth makes it his mission to find the robot and take a picture. After hours of waiting, the robot surprises Hogarth, who soon befriends him.
Suffering amnesia, the Iron Giant accompanies Hogarth wherever he goes. When they come across a railroad, the Giant starts eating the rails.
Hearing an oncoming train, Hogarth tells the Giant to repair the tracks. As he does, the train collides, breaking him to pieces. The Giant's parts start to reassemble, and Hogarth hides the damaged robot in his house's barn, where the parts can repair themselves. Later, after dinner with his widowed mother Annie, Hogarth reads comic books to the Giant. The Giant is impressed with Superman, but discovers the comic 'Atomo the Metal Menace.' Hogarth reassures the Giant, "You are who you choose to be." In the meantime, U. S. government agent Kent Mansley arrives, discovering possible evidence of the Giant and follows up several leads.
Finding Hogarth's BB gun near the substation, Mansley takes a room for rent at Hogarth's home and follows the boy around, hoping to learn more. Hogarth evades Mansley and takes the Giant to beatnik artist Dean Mc. Coppin's junkyard. Hogarth soon has to discuss "death" with the Giant after they witness hunters shoot a stag in the forest.
Paranoid about alien invasions, Mansley alerts the U. S. Army to the presence of the Giant. When he and General Shannon Rogard, backed by Army troops, force the investigation, Dean reveals the robot disguised as a scrap- metal artwork. Rogard admonishes Mansley and leaves. Later, Hogarth plays with the Giant using a toy gun, which automatically activates the Giant's deadly laser eyes.
Dean saves Hogarth and commands the Giant to leave. Thinking that the giant never meant any harm, Hogarth runs after him.
Dean realizes the Giant was only reacting defensively. He catches Hogarth with his motorbike as the Giant reaches town. In Rockwell, the Giant saves two boys from falling to their death, to the amazement of witnesses. The Army troops see the Giant, return, and attack while requesting Navy and Air Force support. The Giant flies away with Hogarth, but is shot down by a missile from a USAF F- 8. After crashing, the Giant thinks the unconscious Hogarth is dead; he activates his energy weapons and battles the outmatched Army.
Mansley lies to Rogard telling him that the robot killed Hogarth and suggests he can be destroyed at sea with a nuclear missile from the USS Nautilus. Hogarth wakes up and reassures the Giant, causing him to deactivate his weapons. As Mansley keeps telling Rogard to keep attacking, Dean says the Giant never harmed anyone. Seeing Hogarth alive, Rogard has the forces stand down, but before he can tell the Nautilus the same thing, a panicked Mansley orders the missile launch. Furious, Rogard reminds Mansley that the missile, currently targeted on the Giant, will also kill everyone in Rockwell. When Mansley disrespects the country, he attempts to flee, but the Giant stops him and the Army places Mansley under arrest.
Hogarth tells the Giant about Rockwell's impending demise and the Giant makes the decision to fly off, smiling to himself that he chooses to be Superman. The Giant collides with the missile, causing a massive explosion high in the atmosphere and saving the town. The townspeople are happy to have survived, but are saddened by the robot's sacrifice. Sometime later in the spring, Annie and Dean have become close and Dean has built a statue in the park to honor the Giant.
Hogarth receives a package from Rogard, a small bolt, the only piece of the Giant ever found. That night, Hogarth hears a familiar beeping coming from the bolt, which is trying to get out of the window. He opens the window to let the bolt out. Somewhere on the Langj. Г¶kull. Glacier in Iceland, parts of the Giant approach where his head rests, as he wakes up and smiles as he repairs himself fully.
Voice cast[edit]Eli Marienthal as Hogarth Hughes, an energetic and curious boy with an active imagination. Marienthal's performances were videotaped and given to animators to work with, which helped develop expressions and acting for the character.[8]Christopher Mc. Donald as Kent Mansley, a government agent sent to investigate sightings of the Iron Giant. The logo on his official government car says he is from the "Bureau of Unexplained Phenomena". Harry Connick, Jr. Dean Mc. Coppin, a beatnik artist and junkyard owner.
Bird felt it appropriate to make the character a member of the beat generation, as they were viewed as mildly threatening to small- town values during that time. An outsider himself, he is among the first to recognize the Giant as no threat.[9]Jennifer Aniston as Annie Hughes, the widow of a military pilot and Hogarth's single mother. Vin Diesel as The Iron Giant, a fifty- foot, metal- eating robot.[1.
Created for an unknown purpose, the Giant involuntarily reacts defensively if he recognizes anything as a weapon, immediately attempting to destroy it. The Giant's voice was originally to be electronically modulated but the filmmakers decided they "needed a deep, resonant and expressive voice to start with," and were about to hire Peter Cullen, due to his history with voice acting robot characters, but due to Cullen's unavailability at the time, Vin Diesel was hired instead.[1. Vin Diesel voiced the Iron Giant. John Mahoney as General Shannon Rogard,[1.
Washington, D. C. Mansley. M. Emmet Walsh as Earl Stutz, a sailor and the first man to see the robot. James Gammon as Marv Loach, a foreman who follows the robot's trail after it destroys the power station. Cloris Leachman as Mrs.
Tensedge, Hogarth's schoolteacher. Ollie Johnston and Frank Thomas as the train engineers. Johnston and Thomas were animators and members of Disney's Nine Old Men.
Bird cited them as inspirations for his career and incorporated their voices and likenesses into the film.[9]Production[edit]Development[edit]The origins of the film lie in the book The Iron Man (1. Ted Hughes, who wrote the novel for his children. In the 1. 98. 0s, rock musician Pete Townshend chose to adopt the book for a concept album; it was released as The Iron Man: A Musical in 1.
In 1. 99. 1, Richard Bazley, who later became the film's lead animator, pitched a version of The Iron Man to Don Bluth while working at his studio in Ireland. He created a story outline and character designs but Bluth passed on the project.[8] After a stage musical was mounted in London, Des Mc. Anuff, who had adapted Tommy with Townshend for the stage, believed that The Iron Man could translate to the screen, and the project was ultimately acquired by Warner Bros.
Entertainment.[1. In late 1. 99. 6, while developing the project on its way through, the studio saw the film as a perfect vehicle for Brad Bird, who at the time was working for Turner Feature Animation developing Ray Gunn.[1. Turner Entertainment had recently merged with Warner Bros.
Time Warner, and Bird was allowed to transfer to the Warner Bros. Animation studio to direct The Iron Giant.[1.
After reading the original Iron Man book by Hughes, Bird was impressed with the mythology of the story and in addition, was given an unusual amount of creative control by Warner Bros.[1. This creative control involved introducing two new characters not present in the original book, Dean and Kent, setting the film in America, and discarding Townshend's musical ambitions (who did not care either way, reportedly remarking, "Well, whatever, I got paid").[1. Bird's pitch to Warner Bros. What if a gun had a soul?"[1.
He expanded upon his desire to set the film in America in the 1. Ted Hughes, the original story's author, died before the film's release. His daughter, Frieda Hughes, did see the finished film on his behalf and loved it.
