"Iron Giant" is based on the fairy tale book "Iron Giant" by British poet and writer Laureate Ted Hughes. This book is highly valued by the British theater industry, and Warner bought the copyright, intending to make it into a film, and invited the animation prodigy Brad Bird to participate in the project. As the director of the film, Brad was deeply attracted by the original work, but he had a different view of Warner's original filming plan. He believes that the play must completely escape the Disney cartoon formula, not focusing on music and singing, but focusing on its story and character development, to create a movie that children will be moved by their hearts and adults will be moved. During the film's release in the United States, the solid story and vivid characters won praise from audiences and critics. The delicate friendship between the iron giant and the child, the full of excitement and adventure, deeply touched everyone.

The Iron Giant quotes

  • Hogarth Hughes: Hey, mom! You won't believe our good luck. Guess what I found?

    Annie Hughes: Hogarth, we've been through this before. No pets.

    Hogarth Hughes: But he's not a pet, mom. He's a friend.

    Annie Hughes: Hogarth, we've got to rent a room this year if we're gonna make ends meet, and no one wants to live in a place with shredded upholstery.

    Hogarth Hughes: You'll never know he's there. I'll keep him in a cage...

    Annie Hughes: ...until you feel sorry for him and set him free in the house. You remember the raccoon, Hogarth?

    [Shudders]

    Annie Hughes: Oooooh! I remember the raccoon.
