    Many people think "The Iron Giant" was great. I guess this is because they haven't seen this French masterpiece, which it ripped off. I am no worshipper of French poet Prevert, who wrote the script, but this is truly a superb animation film by one of the masters of the art, Paul ...( read more)Grimaud.

    Wow ! L'architecture est magnifique et trop bien imaginée et bizarre aussi ! L'histoire est bien aussi. Ce film me fait rever ! :-)

    A wonderful animation classic, which inspired Miyazaki not only for his Laputa (as it is written in the comments here), but for his entire work.
    This was a movie I remember seeing again and again as a kid, fascinated. Twenty years later, its still wonderful (the fascination sligt...( read more)hly faded tough).

    By the way, it was release in 1980, not 2003.

    The favorite movie of my childhood. Inspired by Andersen's fairy tale The Sheperdess and the Chimney Sweep and written with Jacques Prévert, it is pure poetry on screen!

    One word: GIGANTIC. This might be the biggest animated movie ever in term of scale. The world of of the movie is populated with colossal structures ( most notably the towering, imposing palace of the king) and everything seems extremely wide, spacious, and huge. The story is ...( read more)a wonderfully written tale of struggle against tyranny and oppression, and maybe the pretentiousness of the upper class ^^. Has a beautiful unique visual style. The movie that influenced Miyazaki's Laputa (Especially the giant robot)

    L'ane, le roi et moi, nous serons morts demain. L'ane de faim, le roi d'ennui et moi d'amour.
    DORMEEEZ DORMEEEZ, PETITS OISEAUX
    Poetry, poetry, what, seeing thee alive, singing, dancing, flying up to the skies above.
