The Iron Giant	comment	Directed by Brad Bird (who was one of the original directors of The Simpsons and would later move on to work for Pixar), The Iron Giant is a 1999 animated film from Warner Bros., based on Ted Hughes' novel The Iron Man (not to be confused with the comic book).In 1957, the titular Iron Giant (voiced by Vin Diesel) falls to Earth, and a boy named Hogarth Hughes (Eli Marienthal) befriends him. Hogarth tries to hide the Giant from the public (particularly due to Cold War-era paranoia), especially his mother Annie (Jennifer Aniston) and a persistent government agent named Kent Mansley (Christopher McDonald). But the Giant has a very mysterious past of his own, and if things get out, the Cold War may just go hot...The movie was executive produced by The Who's Pete Townshend, who loved the original story and had previously done a Rock Opera based on it. A 2015 "Signature Edition" of the movie adds two scenes.The Iron Giant appears as a playable fighter in MultiVersus. He also appears in the film Ready Player One; however, it's not the actual character but rather a custom avatar skin option covering a mecha vehicle.

When the Giant gives Mansley a Death Glare, Mansley flips out and snatches the radio from Rogard to order the launching of the missile, forgetting that this means the deaths of everybody in town, including himself. So, Rogard, is Mansley mad? Yes, yes he is.

The Iron Giant / int_1fb947b6	comment	Just Train Wrong: The locomotive that plows into the Giant looks very similar to a Norfolk & Western Class J◊, complete with maroon stripe, with a front end similar to a New York Central "Dreyfuss" Hudson◊. Two things wrong with that, aside from the locomotive not really existing. Neither of those railroads went to Maine, and both of those locomotives were used exclusively in passenger service. In fact, given the time period and location, a steam locomotive is incorrect entirely. Being set in coastal Maine the railroad serving the area would be the Maine Central, whose steam program ended in 1954, three years before the movie takes place. The locomotive would therefore likely be a Maine Central RS-3◊, a Maine Central GP7◊ or a Maine Central F3◊.

Brad Bird has said that the idea that inspired him to make the film was "What if a gun had a soul and didn't want to be a gun?" This guiding thought required the Giant to be reworked from a mysterious being from space into a robot that was clearly designed to be a weapon.

The Iron Giant / int_22cf50f9	comment	Chekhov's Gag: Early in the film, Hogarth is trying to take a photo of the Giant, but gets bored while waiting for the Giant to appear. During a Time-Passes Montage, one clip is Hogarth cleaning the lens of his camera only to accidentally take a picture of himself. Later, Mansley discovers the camera and develops that same photo, discovering the Giant was looking over Hogarth's shoulder — finally giving Mansley photographic evidence that the Giant exists. The "duck and cover" educational video is played as satire early, but Mansley takes the advice seriously after he has the missile launched on the town. The general lets him know there's no way to survive that.

Mansley finds it later and learns that Hogarth was at the power station when the Giant was. The room at the Hughes house that Annie wants to rent out. She mentions in the diner scene that the room needs to be rented if they are to make ends meet. Mansley rents the room later so he can question Hogarth repeatedly about the Giant. Annie having to work late. She does this first at the start of the film, and Hogarth runs off into the forest and finds the Giant at the power station. Later in the film, Annie has to work late again, and this time Mansley uses her absence to interrogate Hogarth about the Giant's whereabouts.

The Iron Giant / int_42cfbfc6	comment	2D Visuals, 3D Effects: The necessity of cost-effectively and realistically portraying a metal man led to the Giant being rendered in 3D CGI, along with some vehicles and other such complex machinery. The animators worked hard to make sure that the models did not stand out against the hand-drawn animation, meticulously adding slight imperfections to the rendered outlines to help them blend in with spectacular results. This was a ground-breaking step for a film made in 1999.

As Hogarth starts examining the huge robot, it reboots and sits upright, startling the boy. The trope is played with because as a mechanical device, the robot does not get knocked out per se, but rather shuts down and reboots.

The Iron Giant / int_56515a39	comment	Artistic License â€“ History: Sort of, while not impossible it's highly improbable. At one point, Dean jokingly describes espresso as "coffee-zilla" when warning Hogarth against drinking it. Godzilla wasn't a household name in America in 1957. There were only two Godzilla movies in existence at the time, and only one (Godzilla: King of the Monsters!) had actually been released in the United States. Although it's entirely possible that both Dean and Hogarth may have been familiar with it (Dean with his interest in avant-garde art and Hogarth being a fan of horror movies), Godzilla simply hadn't permeated pop culture enough yet for him to use that phrase. Even if they both saw the movie and Dean coined the phrase on the spot, it's unlikely Hogarth would immediately understand it. In the same vein, while Mansly is briefing the mayor of why he's there, he says that radar picked up what might be a meteorite or a fallen satellite. Since this is supposed to be the time when Sputnik was the only satellite, it seems doubtful the possibility would occur to him. The car the Giant spins Hogarth around with in the junkyard is a 1959 Cadillac Series 62.

The Iron Giant / int_9cc7c9fe	comment	A Nuclear Error: The film's climax features the USS Nautilus launching a ballistic missile whereas the Real Life Nautilus was incapable of doing so since it was a normal attack submarine (albeit the first powered by a nuclear reactor). In fact, the United States Navy did not have any ballistic missile submarines until the USS George Washington entered service in 1959, two years after the film is set. When the Nautilus is stated to have "first-strike" capability, it actually meant that its missiles were accurate enough to hit specific points instead of general areas like cities.

The Iron Giant / int_9d12bbc1	type	Foreshadowing
The Iron Giant / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: The cover of Hogarth's Atomo comic, shows a giant metal robot on a rampage firing energy beams that destroy a building which foreshadows the Giant's Roaring Rampage of Revenge. Also, in the scene where the Giant discovers the dead deer, and notices the gun, he briefly gains red eyes while his "irises" narrow before snapping out of it. This is the first sign that the giant was actually a weapon. While on the phone with Mansley, General Rogard mentions that if he somehow got a photo of the Giant, then he could get some troops over. Unfortunately, Mansley later discovers Hogarth's abandoned camera and develops the film... When Hogarth and the Giant are playing in the junkyard, the Giant grouches at being forced to be Atomo and instead wants to play as Superman. Which is literally the Giant's final choice as he impacts with the nuclear missile.

When Dean and Hogarth catch up to the Giant in Rockwell after he saves the two boys from falling, the mood starts happy with Hogarth waving down at Annie from the Giant's hand, then abruptly turns to panic when the Army starts attacking the Giant.

The Iron Giant / int_cf92fea8	comment	Cassandra Truth: Early in the film, Hogarth's mother disregards him when he tries to tell her about the robot. Mansley gets blown off by Rogard when he tries to phone him about the Giant's existence. Later, when he is able to produce photographic evidence, Hogarth and Dean disguise the Giant as one of Dean's pieces of metal art destroying Mansley's credibility. He's only vindicated when the Giant appears in public in full view of the military convoy.

His straining grunts are misinterpreted by his mother and Mansley on the other side of the door. One instance involves the Laxative Prank Hogarth uses on Mansley to slip away. After slipping some chocolate laxatives into Mansley's ice cream, the scene is punctuated by Mansley's stomach suddenly gurgling as he rushes to the bathroom.

With no expression on his face, he gets up from his chair, promptly dumps out his coffee, calmly walks back into his house and locks the door. 37 minutes later, Hogarth is still trying to get a response from him. Mansley, once he realizes that he's expected to lay down his life for his country like a good soldier, instead tries to steal a jeep and speed off. The Giant stops him before he can get far.

The Iron Giant / int_e652089c	type	Artistic License â€“ Ships
The Iron Giant / int_e652089c	comment	Artistic License â€“ Ships: Mostly due to Rule of Drama and Rule of Perception. The submarine that fires the nuclear missile at the climax is identified as the USS Nautilus. The real USS Nautilus was the first nuclear-powered submarine, but was an attack sub not equipped to carry missiles, being armed only with torpedoes. The US Navy's first ballistic missile submarine, the USS George Washington, was launched in 1959. The submarine-launched Polaris ballistic missile was first tested in 1960 and didn't enter service until 1961, 4 years after the movie's setting (there was a submarine-launched nuclear cruise missile, the Regulus, being tested and entering service around the time of the film's setting carried by the diesel-powered USS Tunny, but that isn't depicted here). The military ships in Rockwell's Bay are inconsistently referred to as either battleships or heavy cruisers. If the warships were battleships, the penant numbers listed are inconsistent: one is labelled with the number 51, which was a battleship, USS Montana, that was never built — it was cancelled with the rest of the first South Dakota class. If they were heavy cruisers, the hull number errors becomes even more egregious, as the two hull numbers seen on the warships were in real-life, given to light cruisers, which were both not in service for a decade (and one was in fact, sunk)
