The Iron Giant
Based on the story "The Iron Man" by British poet laureate Ted Hughes that tells of a giant metal machine that drops from the sky and frightens the residents of a small town in Maine, until it befriends a nine year old boy and ultimately finds its humanity by unselfishly saving people from their own fears and prejudices. Truly compelling, and a delight to watch.
