Can we get an iron giant 2? I wanna see them reunite, was a nice ending but I wish they got to see each other again at the end.
Such a nice film, some good voice acting, really cool style of animation and a really heartwarming story. I love friendship films like this, reminds me of how to train your dragon or Free Willy.
Short and sweet. A really simple story that feels super familiar, but it’s super wholesome and I’d watch it again just too see more if the iron giant, super loveable character, so weird how Vin Diesel of all people has such a wholesome voice, with groot as well. He should do more voice acting.
Weird that this made me cry more than maybe one of the saddest films ever, Grave of the Fireflies.
8.5/10
