Reviews
100
One of the best films of the year thus far.
100
Heart and tenderness are rare in cartoon movies. But in an age of frenetic children's fare, the new animated adventure The Iron Giant dares to show a lot of both, and it comes up a winner.
90
Surprising as it sounds, as far as examinations of trust, loyalty and identity go, the big metal dude's story winds up far more satisfying than the plodding Kubrick opus any day of the week.

Chicago Tribune
An animated tale equipped with heart, humor, blazing action and not a sappy song in earshot.

Charlotte Observer
Keeps its sense of humor while dealing with serious issues.
