          "text": "In the new Warner Bros. animated film _The Iron Giant_, the title\ncharacter, a gigantic robot, does not have a very mobile face. There is a\nscene in the film where he smiles and in my opinion the animators intend it\nto look as if he does this by shifting the angle of his head, much as\nMaytera Marble did in the _Long Sun_ books.\n\nBy the way, I HIGHLY recommend this film. It is the best movie (animated or\notherwise) that I have seen in years. I am cross-posting this message in\ncase there is anyone who reads only one of the lists, because I really\nthink everyone who likes any form of science fiction should go see it.\n\n(Sorry, there are no midgets in this message, but I couldn't resist the title.)\n\nWilliam Ansley"
