The Iron Giant
Animation fans were introduced to Brad Bird (The Incredibles) in a big way back in the late 90s with Iron Giant. Possibly the greatest non-Disney animated film to be released up until that time, the film’s story is based on a Cold War children’s novel which never updated its message for our time. Because despite the anti-gun messaging – young Hogarth constantly tells the giant, “You’re not a gun” – this is still a story about a kid and his friend. A friend who happens to be a huge space robot that may or may not be sent to Earth to destroy the planet.

It also helps that the Iron Giant is a super cool enormous metal eating robot that can take on a whole army. Who wouldn’t want that as a best friend?
