The greatest Superman movie of all time
Agreed.
That and I also think it's a great king kong movie too.(I can explain)
Even though it’s not a Superman movie
@@jugglusjuggler8975 please do. Sorry for late response.
Is it because the robot is big like monkey
@@normanmccultureboy6492it is though
THE GIANT WAS CGI? Holy crap! I could never tell! I always thought he was hand drawn! That is really impressive!
You too? Lol I know, it's friggin' awesome! :D
Carlisle the Cinephile You're not the only one who thought the Giant was hand drawn. I've been with with this movie since the beginning, when i was a 2 year old kid and this movie was obscure as all hell, and as a result this is not only one of my more nostalgic movies, but also my favorite movie of all time.
Carlisle the Cinephile Digital ink is also CGI.
Carlisle the Cinephile I know right, I never noticed.
lol, it's super noticable XD I saw it when I was 3
"Screw our country! I want to live!"
Dis my favorite line in the movie.
Wow Mansley. Dodo. 😂
100th like
Treasure Planet suffered in the same way, sadly. Two amazing movies that flopped upon their initial release, but got more popular as the years went on.
totally, i love both
Treasure planet is great too! Brings back memories of when cel animation was still around when I was little
banjo playing bison yeah, totally
I know I love both so much
CartoonJunky both are really great movies.
I only have one question about this movie....
WHY HAVEN'T I SEEN IT YET!??
realar I unfortunately have already seen the "Superman" scene.
I haven't seen it either, I'm 16 and I like Brad Bird...weird
***** I fully agree with you.
You're not the only one.
My question is why don't I own it?!
One of my favorite films of all time. :)
This was one of the movies I watched when I was hospitalized last year. I loved the movie already, but watching it in the hospital made me love it even more. It is also one of my favorite movies. :)
+TheAnimationAnalyst Top 5 in my book!!!!!!
this movie , along with pokemon 2000 , is my childhood.
mine too.
ikr,my fave animated movie no doubt
RIP "Underated"! This is animated gold!
LarsEMou99 *Platinum
+Bunny Fro (goofygooberROCK135)
*Whatever's higher than Platinum.
yep
The movie shouldn't be underrated anymore. It's already become so popular!!
My Thoughts
Story - 10/10
Animation - 10/10
Characters - 10/10
Overall - 10/10
This was my favorite movie when I was little. I still one of my favorites.
Trinity Prothro first movie i ever saw
A perfect example of a modern classic
I'm so glad that this movie is getting re-released in theaters next month!
Mairead Malesco So wait, it's being re-released, and next month? I heard Mat speak on a re-release, but I thought he said it happened already, i.e. "it's been re-released in theaters."
He ment BEING re-released.
Mairead Malesco Ahhh, I see. A common mistake; but hey, that's good news for me and all else who thought they missed it!
I think one of the reasons it flopped was because at the same time Disney released Tarzan. I remember because when I was little me and my dad wanted to see Tarzan but it sold out so we settled for Iron Giant and ever since we both have been huge Brad Bird fans. My dad's favorite Pixar is The Incredibles.
I remember watching this over and over as a little kid, loving it, and wondering why nobody else had even heard of it. Some people even claimed they thought it looked stupid. Well jokes on them, it turned out to be one of the best animated films ever!
The Iron Giant is a true classic, and one of the most underrated animated films ever made along with The Secret of NIMH and Teacher's Pet. Also, good luck on Belle's Magical World, you're gonna need it...
teachers pet
Happy 20th anniversary, “The Iron Giant”
Well... you manage to review this movie without tearing up, which means you are bigger man than I.
Or lesser I think....
The iron giant is one of the best movies I've ever seen.
No matter every time I see a picture art or clip of the Iron Giant, I just want to cry... Not tears of sadness but tears when you just see something so beautiful that you can't help it but cry. It was that profound in my childhood.
This is my favorite animated movie of all time
Mine too. Toy Story is my second favorite.
I never even knew that the Giant was computer-animated.
How can you not tell? he obviously moves in 3D
Robin art•15• He was actually animated in CG wireframe animation. Also, the way the film blends hand-drawn animation with computer animation was really impressive.
Coulden Pettit That's true, but it's still noticable
Robin art•15• Okay... I got the point about what you said.
Coulden Pettit You were right, though. It looks really well made :)
I grew up with the OG CD and wore it out with watching it. I got the special edition for Christmas, best ever
And the Iron Giant himself will be a central character in Steven Spielberg's upcoming film "Ready Player One"
And I just realized that this was released in the time when I could support you on Patreon. Glad I could help support this video and I hope to be able to support you again soon.
I loved this movie as a kid
Wait, the giant was in CG? I didn't even notice it when I watched it.
Iliketehpokemans So was the hand drawn animation...it's ALL done on computers...
***** Yes. It's done on a computer. Digital ink is literally generating computer imagery.
+mattwo7 It's not ALL computer. it's still hand drawn for a big part, the rough drafts for example.
Robin art•15• Hand drawn...on a computer. You really don't understand how it works at all do you? It's called a "tablet computer". Sure, maybe some concept art and storyboarding is done with physical media, but the final product is done entirely with computers. The first tablet computer directed towards consumers. This was the same year The Little Mermaid was released. The Little Mermaid was also the last Disney feature film to use the traditional hand-painted cel method of animation. Disney's next film, The Rescuers Down Under, used a digital method of coloring and combining scanned drawings developed for Disney by Pixar called CAPS (Computer Animation Production System), which would eliminate the need for cels, the multiplane camera, and many of the optical effects used for the last time in Mermaid.

Also digital ink and paint has been in use at Walt Disney Feature Animation since 1989, where it was used for the final rainbow shot in The Little Mermaid
This was hands down one of my childhood favorites. Great review.
this is a Childhood Classic
WHAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Iron Giant was re-release in Theaters and I didn't even know about!!!!
In March 1999, only one month before The Iron Giant received test screenings as well as five months before the film was released into theaters, Warner Brothers released Richard Rich's second non-Disney animated film called The King and I. To say that The King and I erased the little confidence Warner Brothers had left in The Iron Giant would be an understatement.
most amazing thing they did with the giant is they made him appear to smile without cartoon physics or lips
Why did this movie failed in the box office yet it had 97% rating on rotten tomatoes?
You can thank piss poor marketing by Warner Bros for that.
Well, to be fair, Secret of NIMH has the same kind of critical reception and that bombed big-time as well. Keep in mind this was long before it was common for studios other than Disney to succeed at the box office.
shit marketing
+Enzo Sciascetti what did things gone wrong in warner bros's crappy marketing of the iron giant?
Jace Fiore think about it. This film came out in 1999: it wasn't a particularly phenomenal year for traditional 2-D animation. 3-D was dominating the animation industry with hit after hit like Shrek and Toystory. The Iron Giant would be the first of many 2-D animation films that bombed at the box office. Later 2-D films like Treasure Planet, Atlantis, and Titan A.E. also bombed massively due to a lack of interest in 2-D animation. It's not that Warner Bros didn't know what they had; they simply didn't care as audiences weren't grabbed by it. It's a sad fate because this movie deserved so much better than what it got.
One of my favorite movies of all time.
"You Stay! I go. No following..." *Sniff* I'm not crying! YOU'RE CRYING!!!
Yes, I am. But, you are too.
A theater near me was doing a summer movie bargain thing and I already saw the movie but this year when it came to the theater I begged my mom to go see it. I did go see it and it is so cool to see and old film like this up on screen
Belle's Magical World ISN'T A Sequel or a movie in general. its more like a film that includes 3 stories that take place BETWEEN Beauty & The Beast
The term would be "midquel" as the movie takes place during the events of the original. :)
LadyOfBroadway333 Yeah :( I know
Is the frowny face because the movie was so awful?
LadyOfBroadway333 in a way yes. its a look i make when i feel disappointed
Belle's Magical World has a 17% on Rotten Tomatoes 😳
BEST.
ANIMATED.
MOVIE.
EVAH!
I wish more movies like this were cel animation is the main form of animation but there is a little bit of cgi in it.Man this movie made me miss the cell animation of my early childhood
Me and my Mom love this movie!!! One of our favorite movies EVER!!!
Aside from Pitch Black, I feel this is one of Vin Diesels most introducing films. Gets a tear out of me every time
I remember watching this in preschool. There was this one time me and my sister pulled the mattress off the top bunk of our bunk beds, put it on the floor, and jumped from the top bunk onto the mattress yelling, "BONZAI!!!!", and we would recreate that scene forever! So fun, I need to go get it on DVD.
It's one of those rare films that bring one of my favorite themes - aliens respond to our world in a broad way (not just shooting at us)
Easily 10/10
aww this movie is great
You will be very happy to hear that The Iron Giant is #4 on my Top 10 Favorite Non-Disney Animated Movies. First of all, I really like the friendship between Hogarth and the Title Robot. This is mostly because Hogarth is voiced by real child actor Eli Marienthal, but that makes me all the more touched when Hogarth tries to make the robot a good guy, and all the more concerned when the robot's secret is threatened by Kent Mansley. Secondly, I did say multiple times that hand-drawn animation is my favorite animation type (another reason why I like this movie), but I will say I appreciate computer animation when it is such a side dish to drawing animation. I know drawing is still the dominant style in this movie, so I can accept he title robot being CGI. In fact, I actually am impressed at how well the 2D and 3D animation blend together. I actually wish The Iron Giant stayed underrated, but that only gives me more reason to like this movie. I agree with you that The Iron Giant is a masterpiece one must simply see for oneself.
P.S. I can't help seeing multiple similarities between The Iron Giant and The Rescuers Down Under. If you want, I can post a future comment listing all the similarities these two movies have with each other.
I love this movie when I was little.
Thumbs up if you agree.
The Giant is pretty much like Bastion from Overwatch, a kind-hearted but destructive robot
ATAG Chozo Yep
the interesting thing is we never learn why the giant was sent to earth, it could have been to destroy it or maybe he was just sent to investigate it and the weapons were built into him for defence
this is my favorite film of all time I've been watching it since I was born actually I've watched it so much I memorized all the words
This film was a phenomenal addition to my childhood memories
Thanks for your review. The Iron Giant should never have been a flop in the first place. Period. That WAS totally wicked. Bird became an easy favourite when I found that several movies that stood out for me for properly yet indirectly teaching a message, had him in common.
I'm so glad this is getting a re-release!
Finally I'm been waiting for this review
Can't wait to buy "The Signature Edition" on Blu-ray.
I've been waiting for him to review this for years!
My favorite animated movie of all time.
Movies like this made miss 2D animation SO MUCH! Seriously, even Brad Bird is considering to make a sequel!
The dead deer and the ending always make me cry like hell
AAAH!! I love the Iron Giant!! It's always been one of my favourite Animated Movies ever! Glad you reviewed it!
I cannot believe that this movie was a box office bomb! It's amazing!
Warner Brothers did not advertise this film very well.
The iron giant is one of my favorite non Disney animated feature like the secret of NiMH and the Lego movie, as the reason why it's so good because it focuses on good story and characters and great animation to on the cherry on a already tasty cake.
Update: Seen it! Loved It! Wish I had it years ago!
Still makes me cry...
WHERES THE GIANT MANSLY
Saw it, loved it, can't get enough of it.
It was a flop at release? How did people not immediately see the genius in this film?
One of my top ten movies of all time!
I watched this when I was 6 and I never regretted it.
Seen it! Loved it! Wish I had it!
I Love This Movie
9:30- This is something hardcore Luigi fans need to realize too. With so many people calling him an underrated character, I think it's safe to say he's not underrated anymore and hasn't been for a few years. Just thought I'd point that out.
Expect a definite Seal of Garbage with the next one.
"I know this has been done before," lists a bunch of movies that came out after the iron giant.
He's actually reviewing this movie! YES! Now all I need him to do is review Disney's Hercules, Disney's Pocahontas, Space Chimps, Rainbow Rocks, The Simpson's Movie, Spongebob Squarepants Movie, and then my life will be complete.
Another character of note is the general - while not as prominent, he's a great contrast to Kent Mansley as he's more skeptical and yet, when things come out he's actually willing to listen rather than charging in without context; at worst he initially suspects the worst, but quickly realises the truth while Mansley does not. Not a MAJOR character, but a good symbol for the positive themes of the film - that overall people can CHOOSE to be what they want, just like the Giant (and unlike Mansley, who lets his ambition control him and dictate his choices).
Overall this film truly is a masterpiece; the one way it might be underrated, really, is that it CANNOT get enough hype no matter what. Forget your average Disney/Pixar/Dreamworks/Miyazaki, this one stands above most and with the best there is out there.
From the second this video appeared in my subscription box, I knew AniMat was going to give this film a 10/10.
Songs 9/10
Charicters 9/10
Animation 9/10
Over all 10/10
Wow 3 10/10 this year so far
i am convinced that this movie is what inspired "Does this unit have a soul" from Mass Effect.
when the iron giant flies to the atomic bomb so everyone can life on, I cry like a baby everytime I see it.
LOVE this film. Classic!
Our giant became on of the strongest and unique animated films and friends of all time. Another informative an in review. Keep it up!
I rewatched this recently.........I still cried at the end, and I have no regrets.
*THE HAND DRAWN ANIMATION IS DONE ON COMPUTERS*
I grew up watching this movie at my dad's house and let me tell you, this is so nostalgic now!!!
I remember watching this when I was little, and I loved it to the point where my grandma made me a crocheted iron giant.
This is my absolut favorite film ever. I grew up and built a relationship with my father with this film. I even have a tatto done with a Iron Giant motive!
Not just one of my favorite animated movies but One of my favorite movies in general. Not only is there a nostalgia factor (I had it on video as a kid and watched it quite a bit) but its a genuinely well made movie. Amazing animation, unique yet familiar story, well crafted setting, fantastically implemented themes and ideas, and realistic relatable characters. Its action packed yet also incredibly emotional and heartfelt and overall there's a reason its considered one of the best animated movies of all time.
Animat I love you. I just want to tell you that you are one of my CZcams inspirations.
I honestly think this is my favorite movie of all time, I still remember when I first saw it as a kid
vin diessel as the giant is very sweet
this film is great
The reason why people still view this movie as underrated is because it wasn't made by a big animation studio such as Disney or Dreamworks. It's also suffering from the modern day issue of hand-drawn animation. The thing is, this film is was not only failing from bad marketing, but also the unpopularity of its art style. You see, The Iron Giant was released when the Renaissance Era of Animation was ending, and CGI was slowly rising in popularity with the release of Toy Story 2. My uncle believes that hand-drawn and CGI can work together as a combination, and I think so too. But, it's really sad that this film has pretty much gained recognition as a classic, yet no one will seem to notice it.
Wow! This is the 2nd movie from Doug Walker's Top 11 Underrated Nostalgic Classics that you reviewed! Amazing!
I watched this movie with my dad when I was 5 years old. And since then we have watched it every year together.
Kinda sad I discovered this gem late... But better late than never, this really is a wonderful film :) I love both Hogarth and the Giant, their friendship is so wholesome
An animated classic!
This film is returning to cinemas this Friday in my country, now is the chance for me, as a reviewer to spread the word of this animated masterpiece :)
Second.Luv this movie so much :D Can't wait for more classic reviews
Just watched it, easily one of the best animated movies.
I was thinking of why I recognized you but then I remembered *top 10 scariest Disney moments*
GOD i seriously cant get enough of this movie! ;v;
This review was released around the time the signature edition had it's limited time releases at theaters
Now I really want to watch this movie again!
