The Iron Giant is my favourite animated film.  It’s now a decade old and remains one of the most complex, moving and underrated animations of all time.

Here’s a great article on Wired about the film: A Decade Later, The Iron Giant’s Weaponized Soul Still Stirs.   If you haven’t seen it, you should definitely check it out!
