About this listen
For our 250th episode, and our most recent Looney movie episode, which has now grown to include movies made by Warner's 90s animation division, Marc and Jordan cover a classic film that may have killed the Warner animation division but influenced a generation of animators. The Iron Giant was born out of two different stories of love amidst pain, nearly became a movie musical adaptation, and was a product of sheer creativity crushed by an inability to drive in revenue. Warner Brothers saw this only as a vessel for money, and wrote it off when it failed. Little did they know that they'd completely missed the point Brad Bird was trying to make with the film. We say a lot about the Iron Giant in this episode, why it works, why it was unfairly handled by the studio, why it may be one of the greatest American films of its time, and why we won't get fooled again.
