Great movie

I have only just recently rewatched this classic and it is as good today as the first day I saw it.I love the setting of this, back in the 50's during the height of cold war tension and fear of alien invasion.This movie has a great balance, just enough character development, enough action scenes and enough tension to keep you glued for the hour and a half play time.It is aimed at kids for sure but adults would enjoy watching this one just as much.The characters are all endearing that you really get attached to them. The bad guy is less evil and more of an authoritarian trying to do their job regardless of emotions involved. It makes for a fun movie for all ages.

Great family movie

A giant metal man falls from space and lands in the woods of Maine. Hogarth Hughes is a little boy living in a 1950s small town. He finds the giant who has lost its memory after its head gets dented. His single waitress mother refuses to believe his tall tale. Government agent Kent Mansley has arrived to investigate. Scrap metal artist Dean McCoppin is enlisted to help to feed the giant with scrap metal.Brad Bird has created a great family movie. It is touching story with a great message. It deals with very tricky subject matters and does it with tremendous skills. And it's a giant robot with a little boy. That's the dream of every little boy.
