Great article….I remember when this came out, I was 32…. I persuaded my buddy to go see it with me at the theaters. Thought it was awesome. As a collector of Star Wars action figures and Hot Wheels cars, a comic book reader and the sort, I bought several of the action figures with extras for a rainy day. Years later, those figures sold at a pretty good price. I wish I still had a few of them. They will well made but most of all, I still adore this film and am happy for Brad and his success.

Great article. I read this after watching it on DVD, the first time I've seen it since I was in high school. I didn't get to see it in theatres when it was released as my family couldn't afford it but I saw it on HBO and fell in love with it. It's a movie that will always hold a special place in my heart and I hope my kid will enjoy it in future as much as I do.

This was the first movie I ever saw in theatres, I couldn't have been older than 5, my dad took my sister and I and I still remember vividly how I covered my ears whenever the giant talked because it was too loud and scary at the time. This movie will always hold a special place for me.

Can I brag that I saw this 3 times in theaters? I bought a lightbox from an animator who went off to LA to work on the Iron Giant. A year later I visited the WB studio in production, seeing the layouts and animatics I knew it'd be one of the best animated features ever made. Great piece Oliver.

It's a sad and damning indictment of modern audiences that unless a film is advertised up the wazoo with merchandising tie-ins, the people won't go see it. I DID see 'The Iron Giant' on it's theatrical release in 1999, absolutely loved it, and raved about it to just about everyone… and 'The Iron Giant' still has the best and most moving climax in cinematic history, if you don't tear up big-time each and every time you watch it, you ain't human, both 'The Avengers' and 'The Dark Knight Rises' endings were clearly, uh, 'influenced' by it…
