This is probably the most pushed aside movie of 1999, and one of the best animated films out there. This movie has a major thing that stuff like Pokemon doesn't, story. It has a wonderful story that will appeal to people of all ages. It's a story about friendship, when a young boy finds a giant robot a befriends him. Even though the robot is made of metal, it has a soul, and the young boy will do anything it takes to protect him from people who don't understand. It is really sad that this movie didn't do very well in the theater, it certainly deserved it. The DVD has a nice documentary showing the making of the film. A rare gem. One of the best animated films ever. Highly Reccomended.
