He decided to play an an animator’s strength and assigned them entire scenes based on emotion or action, regardless of which character appeared.Īs for the giant, they used computer animation to create him as CGI would give him the mass and solidity and also give the impression that it’s from a different place. The practice at Disney had long been to assign a specific character to one animator so that an animating supervisor would only be responsible for drawing one character. Bird did not use the then-current mode of feature production when it came to assigning animators. The Iron Giant uses both traditional and computer animation, and it was animated like an assembly line. when explaining the idea was that the giant was a gun with a soul. The movie is set in America in 1957 and it deals with things like cold war paranoia, weaponry and innocence. The central core to the movie, as Bird had told Warner Bros. Unfortuately he did not get to see the final version as he passed away while it was still in production. The movie is based on the book The Iron Man by Ted Hughes. Animation, it is directed by Brad Bird, who later went on to write and direct other animations such as The Incredibles and Ratatouille. It’s one of my favourite movies ever and I remember watching it like ten over times when I was a kid. My final blog post will be on the 1999 animation The Iron Giant.
