The backstory to this movie is incredibly moving! The original book was written by Ted Hughes following the tragic suicide of Sylvia Plath, and he wrote it as a way to help their children process the grief they felt over their mother's death. Brad Bird also had tragic experience with death, losing his sister to gun violence. This prompted him to adapt the film with a slightly changed perspective of "What if a gun didn't want to be a gun?"
it also shows that during the power station scene the giant was in fact going to shoot hogarth when it was being electrocuted, which further compounded his shock when dean yelled at him when he almost killed hogarth. There was also iirc a scrapped scene that never got fully done because it was deemed a touch too dark where mansly was killed via firing squad for his crimes.
@@nightbane44 What?! There's no way they had a scene showing him get killed via firing squad lmao. I can't even fathom that being a suggestion, is that real or just a rumor?
@@mattb7479 this was the 50s USA in a cold war. And Mansly would most definitely been shot for his actions. So i can actually see that being suggested. But i doubt they actually made the scene. More likely it was something suggested during the storyboarding process, or even when the script was veing written. A lot of ideas do get thown around until they settle on what they want.
Same sooooo many quotes I use that are random af. "Found your pet" "What you have. In your mouth! Is art!!!!" "Landslide. It's new. Very new." That searching song "At least give me time to cut the umbilical"
My boy Brad deserves to get talked about much more than he does. I'd love to see him return to superhero films someday; DC or Marvel, he'd be sure to knock it out of the park.
Warner Bros didn’t even bother sending theaters enough posters and no theatre seating signs that light up in the corridors to the seating areas so the movie theatre made them out of paper and black sharpies and just spelled out Iron Giant with sharpies. Guillermo Del Torro who is famous for the Hellboy movies, Pacific Rim, Harry potters The Prisoner of Azkaban, and many more hits went to see The Iron Giant with his family. He thought it would be a surprise hit because he loved the movie so much but after seeing the first weeks box office he decided to call Brad Bird on the telephone and told him that the box office results don’t mean anything because to him he told Brad that he made a wonderful masterpiece of a film and that 20 to 30 years from now he would see the appreciation people will have for his marvelous movie so he should feel proud of his achievement. And Guillermo Del Torro was absolutely right. Absolutely a animated masterpiece of a movie The Iron Giant was and no surprise to find out Warner Bros did nothing to market or advertise this film and the trailer they put together also showed this.
@@fredfinks Warner Bros was closing down its traditional animation. The only reason The Iron Giant got made at all is because it had already started production when the decision was made. They still slashed the budget down to almost nothing and only gave them two years to do everything. Brad Bird stayed late and did a lot of the inbetweening himself to give his animators a break and still make the deadline.
My mom says that when I was little I asked her to put on this movie for me every single day and she would say no because it made me cry but I would tell her that I wouldn't cry this time, she put it on for me and she says that she knew the movie was over when she could hear me crying from the kitchen 😭😭😭😭 it's my childhood movie, I'm 25 and it still makes me cry
I'm an animation student and my animation business professor worked on this film!! He is so chill and amazing and has so many great stories. He even brought pamphlets and memorabilia he had from working on the film. One of my fave interactions with a professor!!
Man, I love this movie. The Iron Giant always has and always will be my favorite animated film. I'm 37 now and It was the first animated movie to make me cry as a kid.
Not everyone reactively cries during emotional moments. You can still feel emotional, but different subject matters can affect the intensity. Iron Giant is a great film but I never found self-sacrifice scenes that emotional where you would want to cry. They probably felt the same way.
love this one! looking forward to more animated/disney reactions! also, side note: it makes me so happy seeing how you all let each other express their thoughts and their emotions so openly-when any of y’all get emotional, you give them time and you guys never look uncomfortable or embarrassed-you just sit with each other in whatever emotions come up, and you’re a safe space for each other. I truly appreciate that. keep up the great work!
They would never do a part 2 simply because this movie was made about gun violence and the message behind it. This movie was created on a base of "What if a gun had a soul, and didn't want to be a gun". A part 2 just for the "money" will never work. I would love to have it as it's my all time favourite movie, but I'm happy with the stand alone
In the UK we had to study the original book The Iron Giant by Ted Hughes that this animation is based on in junior school. It had an enormous impact on me ❤
This was, and is a dang good movie. Thanks for reacting and posting. The amount of foreshadowing throughout the story is handled so well, and should be taught in writing courses. Awesome movie. That moment where the Giant has that memory, and chooses who he wants to be gets me every time. Wonderful growth of character.
WOAH! Wasn't expecting this! I've been on a kick for 2 weeks now watching people react to this! So awesome you guys are! Has to be my all time favorite movie. It takes you back to a simpler time where that nostalgic fuzzy feeling always hits
I saw this in the theater when it came out. Stunned at how well written and animated like an old Disney animated movie was. "I am not a gun, and "Superman" gets to me every time. I think it had an underlying antiwar message too. Which is always a good thing. 4.5 our of 5.
The cool thing that a lot of people overlook, the army general isn't some aggressive warmonger. He's been told the giant is a threat so he does his job to fight it but he's not reckless enough to use nukes and he's willing to listen and learn about the situation.
This came out when I was 19.. didn't think an animated movie could make me get so emotional.. both the laughs and the cries.. just so happy to see you guys watching this!
IRON GIANT LET'S GOOOOO!!! The most misshandled movie in modern pop culture! A story about a gun who did not want to be a gun, and who modern pop culture always boils down to "yeah but he had some really cool guns, huh?" I remember watching the 10th anniversary version in a special screening and Brad Bird said "WB is celebrating The iron Giant the way they always have which is to completely ignore it exists".
Brad Bird’s sister was lost to gun violence long before this film. This is why he decided to make it. It’s basically a movie about a gun that doesn’t want to be a gun.
There's a partially animated, partially storyboarded deleted scene showing the Giant's memories. In it you see dozens of him being dropped from the sky like bombs, unfolding into the Giant and destroying a planet. He's a war machine. It's a really creepy scene.
I wish they had left that in because it makes his journey more impactful. We get a small glimpse of what kind of horrifying machine he was before he came to Earth.
@@WanderingRoe They basically had to cut it or Kent was right. He wouldn't really be much of a villain if the audience *knew* the Giant is a weapon of mass destruction and that there are *a lot* of him. In that case, Kent is right to be freaked out and want to destroy it and Hogarth is a selfish boy keeping a WMD as a pet.
What a voice role for Vin Disel and his ultra-deep voice: the Iron Giant. Wonderful. He makes a great Groot, too. I can’t imagine how a hypothetical Part 2 could add anything to this perfect, heartfelt story. I hope that isn’t tried.
This is the type of movie you enjoy differently depending on how old you are. As a kid, obviously the best part was the Iron Giant. As an adult... it was definitely the Iron Giant.
Fun fact, despite my adoration of this movie, according to my parents when I was a child I was so terrified of the Iron Giant’s first appearance in the ocean that I screamed at them to turn it off. I have absolutely no recollection of this and considering how much I love this movie now, it seems baffling to think I could’ve been scared of it xD

This is such an amazing film, and I love the messages and acting, it was perfect. One thing though…the fact that I’ve seen no one talk about the fact that Iron Giant took a nuke and all it did was blow him apart, and he was still fully operational…that’s pretty crazy 😂
This is one of the movies I saw as a four year old that basically helped shape my personality because i related so well to the kid just trying to have fun andgetting into antics but always trying to do good, you are who you choose to be just hits so hard And i almost forgot, we went to block buster, got cups up ice cream and i stayed up almost past 9 watching this on the vhs...such a wonderful memories
I’ve never been clotheslined by a branch, but I was once driving a 4-wheeler and the back passenger was. I turned my head back to him while riding on a trail and yelled, “Duck!” while nodding at the path ahead. I ducked down, he stood up to get a better look, he got ripped straight off the back by a low hanging branch that caught him right across his chest. Apparently he thought I was trying to point out that there was a duck on this trail in the middle of the woods, not that he needed to duck for the part up ahead. Hilarious misunderstanding, nasty nasty bruises though. He ended getting a chest xray the next day because he thought he broke a couple ribs, but it was just a really bad bruise, no actual broken bones or anything.
When i was in college, we played a trivia game in a class, and this movie helped me win. The question was what was the name of the first nuclear powered submarine? Nautilus. Thanks Iron Giant!
I don't know if y'all saw the extended version with the Giant's dream/memory scene which freaked me out, just knowing that Giant was apart of invasions with other Giant Robots like himself was creepy. Shame we never got a sequel because this could potentially be very dark with a Robot Invasion going to Earth and Iron Giant being like his idol Superman to protect every creature and person on Earth.
@46:57 - Iron Giant is one of the main examples brought up of studios mishandling a great movie's launch. WB marketing for this was not only bad but barely there. Folks didn't even realize it was in the theaters let alone what it was. Took off on home video with movie reviewers and peers pushing people to watch it.
WB just had a few bombs with their animation division and had already decided to close it, so they literally realised it in theatres for contractual obligations.
From what I understand, it was supposed to be released later but got rushed to an earlier release. That's why there wasn't any marketing done, they didn't have time. WB really did this movie dirty, would have been a massive hit in the theater.
The performance of Jennifer Aniston needs some love, too. Something in her voice is just so "real" for lack of a better word. The exhaust in her voice when she tells Hogarth to "Stop!", how heavily she is involved with her work life and the sacrifices she has to make in order to put bread on the table and keep the scary world away from him. I come from a single-mom household so maybe I am biased but this is something the movie always resonates with me.
Since you guys enjoyed this one so much definitely check out Atlantis, dont know if its the same director but definitely the same studio that did this film. The Pagemaster is another classic animation to check out
You guys REALLY gotta watch/react to the documentary on the making of the movie. It’s called “The Giant’s Dream”. It’s one of the best documentaries in general you’ll ever see in your life.
This is such a great movie. One of my favorite animated movies from any company. You were saying about the same animation/different movie; Disney did that. You can tell the era of Disney movies and the animation team that worked on them. For example, the animation in Jungle Book and Robin Hood; same characters, different names, same animators.
one of the best animated films ever. And it's of course by Brad Bird. I feel like everything that man touches turns to gold so easy 10/10. „What If a gun had a soul and didn't want to be a gun?" ❤ Also please consider doing Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss in the future 🥹 such fantastic shows!!
This movie and "The Last Unicorn" are amazing, unique staples of my childhood. Looking back, I could see some kids being bored by them, but there's something about it that just... captures the attention. Idk, it's hard to explain! I'd love to see y'all do that one too - the animation is dated but it is a piece of artwork in it's own regard.
omg this movie was so endearing!!! Loved all the humor and the build up to emotions and omg yes you want to wring Mansley's neck everytime he speaks!!!! 😆❤️
It's a classic that rightfully got a cult following years after it came out. It didn't really do very well at the box office, but that was mostly because of bad timing and bad marketing (none almost). Gotta love that hand drawn animation with just a touch of CGI with certain objects. And the giant, of course. It did miss someone pointing out the setting and main background theme of the movie: the cold war and the paranoia of "the communists can invade any moment". And the constant and exploited threat of nucleair war of course. Not so irrelevant in this day & age... But you gotta remember, this was not a big Disney or Pixar movie... The understaffed crew of the film completed it with half of the time and budget of other animated features. That makes it even more special.
The jets taking off are the F-86 Saber. They were used in the Korean War and were state of the art during the 50's, they entered service in 1949. The F-4 Phantom didn't enter service until 1961, and were used through the 60's and 70's.
Regarding the squirrel in the restaurant scene - you guys should do a mini reaction to the music video for Ray Stevens' song "Mississippi Squirrel Revival"!
I’m always so excited when I see yall watching a classic!! I swear I look all over your channel all the time for something to watch but end up having to wait for a new episode 😭😭 Love it!!
It's been so long since I watched The Iron Giant! I was a little kid the last time I saw it! I'm surprised the discussion after the video is one third the length of the video!
This movie really shows that less is more some times, and because everything else about it wasnt super grand, it allowed the story and message to shine all the more. Sometimes all you need is a powerful tale to tell and to tell it well.
This is Vin Diesel's best movie ever I don't care what anyone says lol this is the only movie where the line family should have been used 😅. This movie is so underrated and it's absolutely incredible I'm glad ready Player One brought it back to everybody's attention I watch this movie almost yearly especially around Christmas 👀😅

There’s an extended version that reveals more about the iron giant. It’s a whole armada of giants out there

35:22, “Superman…”
This single phrase brings us to tears.
Literally the only time Superman brought me to tears, and it wasn't even a Superman movie LOL
@k1productions87 if what he did in GOTG 3 is any indication Gunn may ask you to hold his beer lol.

I'm not crying. YOU'RE crying!
The Fourth Law of Robotics: A robot's eyes must glow red prior to violating the hell out of the First or Second Law.
Whenever the Iron Giant is sacrifice himself flying into the nuke, and he says Superman,, hits me in the feels every time
I cried just reading that! I honestly can't cope with that bit! But it was okay in the end!
in the director's cut there's a scene when he sleeps where we can see he's actually part of an army of world destroyers/conquerors robots.
So in a way, Mansly was right to be scared of the Giant.
I distinctly remember this but was confused when it wasn't int he movie on a rewatch !! Wow, so it's a director's cut scene?
it also shows that during the power station scene the giant was in fact going to shoot hogarth when it was being electrocuted, which further compounded his shock when dean yelled at him when he almost killed hogarth. There was also iirc a scrapped scene that never got fully done because it was deemed a touch too dark where mansly was killed via firing squad for his crimes.
@@nightbane44 What?! There's no way they had a scene showing him get killed via firing squad lmao. I can't even fathom that being a suggestion, is that real or just a rumor?
@@mattb7479 this was the 50s USA in a cold war. And Mansly would most definitely been shot for his actions.
So i can actually see that being suggested. But i doubt they actually made the scene. More likely it was something suggested during the storyboarding process, or even when the script was veing written.
A lot of ideas do get thown around until they settle on what they want.
"Superman" I'm not crying! YOU'RE crying!

You can see me? 😭😭😭
Get out of my head!
This movie was my childhood.
"Where's the robot, Mansley?"

"Found your pet"
"What you have. In your mouth! Is art!!!!"
"Landslide. It's new. Very new."
That searching song
"At least give me time to cut the umbilical"
What a filmography by Brad Bird; The Iron Giant, The Incredibles, Ratatouille, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol & Incredibles 2!
I still cant figure out what happened with Incredibles 2.
Incredibles 2 is not at the same level as the others imho.
@@quimeau Not at all

Folks didn't even realize it was in the theaters let alone what it was. Took off on home video with movie reviewers and peers pushing people to watch it.
WB just had a few bombs with their animation division and had already decided to close it, so they literally realised it in theatres for contractual obligations.
From what I understand, it was supposed to be released later but got rushed to an earlier release. That's why there wasn't any marketing done, they didn't have time. WB really did this movie dirty, would have been a massive hit in the theater.
The performance of Jennifer Aniston needs some love, too. Something in her voice is just so "real" for lack of a better word. The exhaust in her voice when she tells Hogarth to "Stop!", how heavily she is involved with her work life and the sacrifices she has to make in order to put bread on the table and keep the scary world away from him. I come from a single-mom household so maybe I am biased but this is something the movie always resonates with me.
My all time favorite movie. Such beautiful animation, genius heartwarming script, and a great message.
My childhood movie, alongside Treasure Planet
Can’t forget Atlantis the lost empire too
Holy Trinity of underappreciated animated movies

That's the appropriate response to that.
Since you guys enjoyed this one so much definitely check out Atlantis, dont know if its the same director but definitely the same studio that did this film. The Pagemaster is another classic animation to check out
The last scene ; giant said : you stay, don't following me. Make me really cry 😢
"Suuuperman" 😭😭😭
Iron Giant is a diamond (aye) in rough, like Treasure Planet. I'll always love these types of movies, it's so good 🌲🌳
treasure planet is such a hidden gem too
You guys REALLY gotta watch/react to the documentary on the making of the movie. It’s called “The Giant’s Dream”. It’s one of the best documentaries in general you’ll ever see in your life.
Superman.
Cried the first time I heard it when this movie came out and now
You are who you choose to be! My favourite animated movie. Funny how many feeling you can have for a robot. ❤
This was one of my favorite childhood movies. I was 11 when this movie came out and I had to have seen it a dozen times.
This movie is a modern-day classic!
I’ve seen this movie so many times but I still cry when he’s saying bye to Hogarth
When he tells him to stay, like Hogarth told him at the beginning 🥹
@@cjjackson2423 Yeah, those parts get to me more than the 'Superman' part.
“No following” just wrecks me!
This is such a great movie. One of my favorite animated movies from any company.
You were saying about the same animation/different movie; Disney did that. You can tell the era of Disney movies and the animation team that worked on them. For example, the animation in Jungle Book and Robin Hood; same characters, different names, same animators.
I literally finished watching this movie yesterday and just after that badd medicine's reaction came. Please don't spy on me
Treasure planet and Sinbad should be next guys, you can't go wrong with those
Sinbad is SO underrated !
“You are who you choose to be. … Superman.” 😭
one of my favorite movies growing up as a 2000s kid. My grandma and aunty had the DVD and I would always watch it
You are who you choose to be. Couldn't be more true.
one of the best animated films ever. And it's of course by Brad Bird. I feel like everything that man touches turns to gold so easy 10/10. „What If a gun had a soul and didn't want to be a gun?" ❤
Also please consider doing Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss in the future 🥹 such fantastic shows!!
Love this movie Balto is another great animated movie
This movie and "The Last Unicorn" are amazing, unique staples of my childhood. Looking back, I could see some kids being bored by them, but there's something about it that just... captures the attention. Idk, it's hard to explain! I'd love to see y'all do that one too - the animation is dated but it is a piece of artwork in it's own regard.
Cartoon Network had an all day marathon airing this movie back to back all day long… yet I still can’t believe I ever got sick of it
omg this movie was so endearing!!! Loved all the humor and the build up to emotions and omg yes you want to wring Mansley's neck everytime he speaks!!!! 😆❤️
They HAVE to watch Treasure Planet now right?
THE GASP I LET OUT WHEN I SAW THIS POST OMG I LOVE YOU GUYS 😭😭❤️❤️❤️

Hard to believe something so good was a box office flop
It's a classic that rightfully got a cult following years after it came out. It didn't really do very well at the box office, but that was mostly because of bad timing and bad marketing (none almost). Gotta love that hand drawn animation with just a touch of CGI with certain objects. And the giant, of course.
It did miss someone pointing out the setting and main background theme of the movie: the cold war and the paranoia of "the communists can invade any moment". And the constant and exploited threat of nucleair war of course. Not so irrelevant in this day & age...
But you gotta remember, this was not a big Disney or Pixar movie... The understaffed crew of the film completed it with half of the time and budget of other animated features. That makes it even more special.

The jets taking off are the F-86 Saber. They were used in the Korean War and were state of the art during the 50's, they entered service in 1949. The F-4 Phantom didn't enter service until 1961, and were used through the 60's and 70's.
Legends never die i said this because its a truly kinda gold quote for me legends never die is also a song
Regarding the squirrel in the restaurant scene - you guys should do a mini reaction to the music video for Ray Stevens' song "Mississippi Squirrel Revival"!
I’m always so excited when I see yall watching a classic!! I swear I look all over your channel all the time for something to watch but end up having to wait for a new episode 😭😭 Love it!!
It's been so long since I watched The Iron Giant! I was a little kid the last time I saw it! I'm surprised the discussion after the video is one third the length of the video!
This movie really shows that less is more some times, and because everything else about it wasnt super grand, it allowed the story and message to shine all the more. Sometimes all you need is a powerful tale to tell and to tell it well.
This is Vin Diesel's best movie ever I don't care what anyone says lol this is the only movie where the line family should have been used 😅. This movie is so underrated and it's absolutely incredible I'm glad ready Player One brought it back to everybody's attention I watch this movie almost yearly especially around Christmas 👀😅
