Solid movie, fuck Mansley, something about this movie reminds me a Pizza Hut but I can’t put my finger on it. Anyways, I will say that now watching this as an adult, it’s not as special as when you are a kid, it’s a bit slow to start even though it’s a short film. I do feel like it lost a bit of luster over time, even though I really do miss the animation style of yesteryear. For me personally, the iron giant isn’t a childhood classic of mine, I did watch it as a kid but not like some people did. I actually do wish Mansleys story was ended a lot better, like he’s the main villain and nothing really happens to him, always irked me. I’m not saying he needed to die but at least something embarrassing or he gets tossed in jail. I also wish that either one of two things happened, the robot went back to the kid in the end or they never brought the robot back, he stays dead and they have a whole thing about souls. A few things that hold it back but still overall, solid kids movie. Yeah I’ll watch it again.
