I loved this film because I think it would be enjoyable for everybody, even adults would enjoy it. The animations looked as though they were well thought through - they were quite dramatic especially at points in the film that were very intense. The music worked well with each part of the film. The storyline was not too hard to follow so you could understand it. It was funny, daring and quite sad at the end. The characters were believable. The dialogue and voices really fitted their characters. My favourite character was the Iron Giant because at the start of the film he seemed quite scary, but as the film developed it became clear that he was kind and funny. I thought the film was a cross between Iron Man and the Big Friendly Giant - five out of five!
