So I made a list of 101 of the stangest, most obscure animated films I've ever watched. How many have you seen? www.listchallenges.com/obscure-anim...
neutral · AI labelView post →Cats Don’t Dance is free with ads on YouTube. Please watch it if you’ve never seen it. It’s one of WB’s best 2D animated movies next to The Iron Giant. It’s topical because it’s the most DEI movie with talented anthros being overlooked for humans.
neutral · AI labelView post →I don't want to turn this into a rant but do you ever think about how The Iron Giant is a film about the terrifying, uncaring power of violence and nuclear warfare, how "I am not a gun" is the defining line of the character, and now he's just in multiversus drop kicking people or whatever
positive · AI labelView post →Didn’t know he had a new film! Maker of the two greatest animated films ever, “The Iron Giant” and “The Incredibles.” Both of which reduce me to tears, every time, at specific moments. Can you guess?
neutral · AI labelView post →‘RAY GUNN’ is Brad Bird's first animated film in 8 years, but does it manage to be as good as ‘The Incredibles’ or ‘The Iron Giant’? Find out in our review… discussingfilm.net/2026/10/10/r...

neutral · AI labelView post →"cal arts" as an insult was coined by sexual predator John Kricfalusi referring to the Iron Giant, a brilliant film that he hated because it didn't have scribbly incomprehensible artwork and fart jokes. Then gators used it to refer to bean mouths. In neither case did it ever mean anything real.

neutral · AI labelView post →Any fans of the 1999 animated film the Iron Giant?
neutral · AI labelView post →It’s funny that John K coined the term because of, no joke, motherfuckin’ The Iron Giant. Like…how disconnected have people gone to lambast Steven Universe when a movie that is legitimately loved by millions with an entirely different art style was the “culprit”.
neutral · AI labelView post →You know? Sometimes when i draw shit im like, oh yeah im gonna do this cool oc as a giant dragon. (inspired a bit on the film of the Iron Giant🤖) And later i remember, oh yeah, this is the internet, people get horny.

neutral · AI labelView post →Honourable mentions: Persepolis, Aladdin, Secret of Nimh, The Iron Giant, the 2017 My Little Pony movie for the fantastic production experience and also the money
neutral · AI labelView post →Name a film flop that you wish had done better at the box office. To me it’s always The Iron Giant.
positive · AI labelView post →I started my fall movie binge with The Iron Giant earlier this week hehe
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched The Iron Giant on the big screen with my kiddos. Such an amazing experience watching with a crowd. What an amazing film.
positive · AI labelView post →The Wild Robot made me cry (I knew it would) but my god what a beautiful wonderful film. A perfect movie. If you love anything about The Iron Giant, Castle in the Sky, Wall-e, Brother Bear, HTTYD, Dreamworks in general or just GREAT ANIMATED FILMS go see it. The soundtrack is also AMAZING 😭💕
neutral · AI labelView post →Share an ANIMATED movie title that begins with the letter “I” 🎥 I is for… ‘The Iron Giant’ (1999) 🖤
neutral · AI labelView post →I count 8 comments asking me why I didn't talk about The Iron Giant (a movie) in my video about the impact CGI had on television shows
neutral · AI labelView post →The Iron Giant (1999) my mom worked at johnny rockets at the time & they did a promotion for the movie where they gave away a song from the soundtrack on cassette tape (so 90s) when the movie “flopped” the restaurant cancelled the promotion & my mom brought home a box with hundreds of the tapes
neutral · AI labelView post →Y'all owe it to yourselves to watch The Iron Giant (1999) by director Brad Bird. It's really a relevant film for today, especially as it does focus on the use of propaganda to create *fear* and paranoia in society. One of the many reasons it's a classic. It also just has so much heart and soul.
positive · AI labelView post →I am so glad the Iron Giant came out when it did and it wasn't popular enough to get some Marvelized live actipn remake, because that movie is genuinely so good and one of my favourites
positive · AI labelView post →Who the fuck isn't able to understand the ending of THE IRON GIANT without a YouTube video that's half as long as the movie itself spoonfeeding the idea to you? He was made to be a weapon. He chose not to be that. That doesn't need 40 goddamn minutes are you fucking kidding me
positive · AI labelView post →"The Incredibles is the best Fantastic Four movie" no it isn't "Galaxy Quest is the best Star Trek movie" no it isn't "The Iron Giant is the best Superman movie" are you high
negative · AI labelView post →My Best Supermans That I've Seen In Theaters: (1) Superman (2025) (2) The Iron Giant (3) Superman (1978) (4) Superman II (1980) When you think about it, it's kind of surprising that nobody made a Superman movie for 45 years!
positive · AI labelView post →The Iron Giant is the perfect movie.
positive · AI labelView post →In the film The Iron Giant there's a high tension moment when the absolute worst person in it is pressuring a general to give an order. He shouts at him "decision now, future's at stake!" I love that phrase. Use it a lot.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched 'The Iron Giant' and 'E.T.' in the same week, not realizing that they were basically the same movie. The Iron Giant was more emotionally satisfying, while E.T. was more ~Spielberg~. Glad to have seen both of them. #FilmSky 📽️
positive · AI labelView post →Is the Iron Giant an Xmas movie? Is in this fucking house.
positive · AI labelView post →Name a movie that flopped at the box office but is actually great. #FilmSky The Iron Giant (1999)
neutral · AI labelView post →I wish people would not equate box office to the quality of a movie. There's movies that are considered classics now that bombed in the box office, like Blade Runner, The Iron Giant, and Shawshank Redemption.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Iron Giant is a great Superman movie.
positive · AI labelView post →Replace a character in a movie with a wrestler: Brody King is… the Iron Giant “I go. You stay. No following.” followed by him barking his way up to the missile in the sky 🤼
neutral · AI labelView post →I have checked and I am here to report the good news: The Iron Giant is still an absolute cracker of a movie
positive · AI labelView post →The Wild Robot movie made me cry sooooo much. If you like WALL-E or The Iron Giant, you'll love this!
neutral · AI labelView post →also, their book is Iron Widow, not The Iron Giant, which is an animated film from 1999.
neutral · AI labelView post →My dad was/and is a huge cartoon and Godzilla movie guy. He showed me a lot of the media I deeply care about to this day -- but The Iron Giant is definitely *the* movie for me
positive · AI labelView post →The Iron Giant, A piece of fanart I painted in watercolor years ago! It's still a favorite animated movie of mine to this day. #watercolor #theirongiant #mecha
neutral · AI labelView post →Five comfort watches in no order: - The PPG movie - It's the great pumpkin, Charlie Brown! - The Nightmare Before Christmas - Robin Hood - The Iron Giant
neutral · AI labelView post →Missing the point of the movie by as wide a margin of miss as the presence of the Iron Giant in the battle scenes in Ready Player One.

neutral · AI labelView post →In the animated film The Iron Giant (which I love) everyone hates the villain, Government agent Kent Mansley but no one concedes an uncomfortable truth; Mansley is right. The Iron Giant WAS sent by malevolent forces. It's just accidental damage that disrupts the Giants programing.
neutral · AI labelView post →A short list: Speed Racer Scott Pilgrim The Iron Giant (Made $23m Box Office on a $70m budget) Labyrinth Tron (The original made $50m on a $10m budget in 1982 but was considered a flop by Disney in its "dark ages". Funnily enough that was its highest grossing live action film for 5 years.)
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched The Iron Giant for the first time and it’s basically a Life is Strange game in movie form.
neutral · AI labelView post →I saw someone say that this Superman was the one the Iron Giant wanted to be. It is. It brought Hope back into my life. This movie is as good as 00s animated Justice League.
positive · AI labelView post →Favorite movie robot that isn't the T-800? 🤖 I know it's probably a generic response at this point, but truly nothing beats THE IRON GIANT for best robot. Masterpiece of a movie.
positive · AI labelView post →7. The Iron Giant (1999) I don’t know why it took me so long to finally watch this movie but as expected, I loved it. 9 year old me would’ve loved it too when it came out. Absolute CLASSIC!
positive · AI labelView post →Ray Gunn (2026, dir Brad Bird) [trailer]. cross-posted from: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/48310442 > In Metropia, a gigantic city in an alternate future as seen from 1939, private eye Raymond Gunn (Sam Rockwell) and his alien companion Eyera (Tom Waits) are making a living on the edge of society, delving into secrets that some people would rather keep hidden away. After accepting a sleazy spy job related to pop-star Venus Nova (Scarlett Johansson), Gunn finds himself drawn into a murder…
neutral · AI labelView post →My top favourite animated sci fi movies. #4 is The Iron Giant. All the movies in my top 4 switched spots at different times. Rewatches just cemented all as complete masterpieces. The Iron Giant is a magical heartfelt joy of a movie. It feels effortless because it is so enjoyable. A+
positive · AI labelView post →I've been quiet, processing the reemergence of some additional previously suppressed memories from the CSA incidents which I survived as a child. Lots of self care has been needed. Video games, anime, and now a favorite comfort film (even though it always makes me cry), The Iron Giant.
positive · AI labelView post →Maybe The Iron Giant is the only truly pure Brad Bird film
positive · AI labelView post →"It's bad to kill. Guns kill. And you don't have to be a gun. You are what you choose to be. You choose. Choose." -Hogarth, The Iron Giant to the Iron Giant. Before the Giant sacrifices himself by redirecting the nuke: "I love you." -Hogarth. This movie really reminds me that I do hate guns.
neutral · AI labelView post →There's a good chance that if you grew up in the early 2000s, you most likely discovered the Iron Giant via it airing on CN. Had it not been for the network's love of the film I don't think it would have as big a cult following today, where Iron Giant is now considered a classic WB character.
neutral · AI labelView post →One of my biggest movie sins (and there are many) is that I’ve never seen The Iron Giant 😅
neutral · AI labelView post →Now Playing (well, earlier this week) for Science Fiction Month: The Iron Giant (1999) soundtrack by Michael Kamen (Varèse Sarabande, 2022) My favorite non-Disney, non-Yellow Submarine animated film. #nowplaying #nowspinning

neutral · AI labelView post →📽 The Iron Giant Cute and simple movie with a unique art style, I was pretty surprised by the topics it touches
positive · AI labelView post →Looking for a fantastic film to watch? The Iron Giant Brad Bird (1999) Brilliant film, touching story that is triumphant but may cause you to shed a tear or two. #Film #Movies
positive · AI labelView post →Introduced kiddo to The Iron Giant tonight for our Friday pizza & a movie tradition. Parenting win.
positive · AI labelView post →Ray Gunn | Official Trailer. Nice to finally see Brad Bird's new project. For the unaware, it's the same director as The Incredibles, Ratatouille, and The Iron Giant.
