The Iron Giant

Based on poet Ted Hughes' 1968 children's book, (former SIMPSONS Storyboard Artist) Brad Bird's adaptation proves to be a work of art the family can enjoy together- simple and visually captivating enough for kids and sharp and touching enough for adults. Hogarth is a young boy in 1950s Maine. When he finds a kind and very large robot (of unknown origin), a strong bond of friendship is formed between the two. It isn't long, however, until a government agent is on their trail, wanting to destroy the robot. A beautifully rendered fable.

    • 3 stars out of 4  

      Set at a time of Cold War and nuclear paranoia and the beginnings of space exploration, this is an engaging, well-animated fable of pacifism and self-realisation that should find a ready audience among adults as well as children.

    Tom Cruise has confirmed The Incredibles' director Brad Bird as the man who will helm Mission: Impossible 4 - and he's having "a blast" working with the filmmaker. J.J. Abrams signed up to work with Cruise for the fourth installment in the franchise earlier this year (10), but it was unclear who would be taking on the directing role.
