The crash of meteor through sky, the landing of something not of this earth, this is the beginning of a truly wonderful DVD movie. Meet Hogarth, a young boy who discovers a new friend in a two hundred-foot metal eating robot from another world. Join the fun and the tears in this excellent retelling of Ted Hughes`famous book The Iron Man. Starring such names as Jennifer Anniston of `Friends` fame, and Harry
Connick Jr as a `hip` talking sculptor-junkyard owner. The Iron Giant isn`t your usual `cartoon` adventure, for once there are no songs, which is no bad thing. And animation wise... supreme! Mixing traditional cell and computer effects to produce something magical. The DVD doesn`t have many extras - a short featurette, music video and trailer - but you`ll not mind, you`ll watch it again, and again. and.... well you know. For kids aged 8-80. A must see.
