The Iron Giant is the story of a you boy named Hogarth Hughes who lives in a small town in Maine with his mother Annie (Jennifer Aniston).

One night while his mother is working late Hogarth hears a noise outside which he follows. Finally after walking a short way he finds a huge 50ft robot that is busy consuming the metal poles from a power plant. Being a little too greedy the giant robot grabs the wrong area of the plant a electrocutes himself. 

Seeing that the robot is in pain Hogarth saves the giant by disconnecting the power and in turn he befriends the giant.

Around about this time Kent Mansley (Christopher McDonald) a government agent starts investigating sightings of the robot, now Hogarth and his new Beatnik friend Dean McCoppin (Harry Connick, Jnr) must protect the giant from the government who are hell bent on hunting down the giant.

This movie is a must see for all ages. Get it now.

Shadow detail was excellent and the colors were very rich, although being a very new cartoon you would have to expect this considering.

There were no MPEG artifacts and the same can be said for film artifacts.

The Iron Giant is framed at 2:35:1 and is 16:9 enhanced.

This is a single-sided, dual layer disc, I could not find the layer change.
