Tender, moving and exciting for kids (and their secretly tearful parents).

The Iron Giant's theme of fear of the unknown is craftily balanced against the power of innocent imagination.

This is not exactly standard children's fare, but kids (and their parents) should be smitten by its wit and wisdom.
