Iron Giant

'The Iron Giant' is of course based on former UK poet laureate Ted Hughes' superb children's book 'The Iron Man'. No idea why they changed the title, except maybe because of that dumb Marvel superhero. Eejits.

Apparently the book is also known as "The Iron Giant" in the Us as well. (Another useless fact brought to you by a librarian!)
