Friends and Family, we're out of the Book of Shocks, but we've got another tale of a lonely young boy and a bizarre being who enters his home (at least the backyard area). That's right, we're going back to 1999 with Brad Bird's cult classic The Iron Giant. This release from WB at the end of the last century flopped, but gained a cult following on home video and cable. We take a look at Brad Bird's career, effective animation, anti-gun and anti-violence ideas, and much, much more as we take on The Iron Giant.
