Description

October, 1957. Nine-year-old Hogarth Hughes (Eli Marienthal) lives in Rockwell, Maine, a seemingly idyllic town. Hearing stories of a UFO that crashed into the sea, Hogarth, always on the lookout for mutant aliens, finds a huge, metal-eating robot (Vin Diesel) with an insatiable curiosity and equally insatiable appetite. But the extraterrestrial's presence unleashes a wave of Cold War paranoia that threatens to engulf Rockwell unless Hogarth and his 50-foot friend can stop it. Acclaimed animation director and writer Brad Bird brings his creative talents to the big screen in this unique tale of two heroes. In times like these, you really find out what your friends are made of...sometimes it's metal, if your best buddy's The Iron Giant. Based on the book The Iron Man by Ted Hughes.

  • Great movie but NOT HD!

    There’s no way this is HD as advertised. It looks the same as when I had it on VHS.
  • Not the Signature Edition

    Purchased this on the UK iTunes Store and apart from disappointing audio/visual quality this is also not the Signature Edition with the newly added scenes.
  • A must watch

    This movie is breathtaking. The animation is superb and original. The characters all are fleshed out and all of them have their funny bits. The villain (Kent mansley) is just freaking fantastic and is given a damn right hilarious voice by Christopher McDonald. Definitely one of the best animated movies of all time
  • It IS the restored edition!

    Though iTunes doesn’t offer the Blu-ray’s extras, this is the widescreen restored edition of the special edition release. I put off for ages buying this because incorrect comments on these reviews saying it was a SD transfer. It’s the best this film has looked

  • Buyer beware: 1080p is upscaled SD

    The movie itself is a classic. However, this so-called 1080p HD version on iTunes is nothing more than upscaled SD. You can tell this right from the beginning, since the animation — in particular the tell-tale opening graphics — has the characteristic ‘jagged’ edges you associate with not enough pixels being rendered. If it were in the correct HD format, I’d award it five stars.
  • Awesome!
