The Iron Giant (1999) ***
Directed by Brad Bird. With the voices of Jennifer Aniston, Harry Connick Jr and Cloris Leachman. Very entertaining animated feature about a young boy befriending a giant robot from outer space. Often hilarious and always exciting, it deserves to be a huge hit. A lighthearted fare, made for kids of all ages, with a surprisingly strong anti-militarist message.
