Absolute instant classic, this generations Iron Giant.
Love how they didn’t fear away from themes of death on screen. Made all the scenes that much more powerful in ways you usually don’t see in kids movies nowadays.
Curious if they’ll follow the books and try making a 2 & 3 and they can stay on par with this.
I’m looking forward to it with the family. I really enjoyed the audiobooks one week. Checked it out as a casual read after a heavy book but it’s was, like you mention, heartfelt and sweet.
