100 Movies Every Catholic Should See #33: The Iron Giant (1999)

Directed by Brad Bird.

If there is a particular subset of cinema that I am passionate about it is animation. Obviously like most children of my generation I grew up on many of the Disney classics on VHS, but I was also fascinated by the process: watching the extensive behind-the-scenes features of Finding Nemo on the DVD when I was around 10 is what I consider my “gateway” into becoming a cinephile. From that point on it was my life goal to work at Pixar, and I hastily made it my mission to learn everything I could about Pixar, and it was through that research that I ended up picking up other books on film from my local library and…the rest is history.
