"The Iron Giant" is an enchanting animated feature about a boy who makes friends with a robot from outer space.

Variety

Equally potent as political allegory and as animated family entertainment, Brad Bird’s freshman feature effectively references everything from Cold War ideology to B-movie conventions.

Everything about it is good. I've also never seen so many influences and references in an animated film before.
