The greatest animated film you ignored in theaters finally gets its revenge.
A documentary about how the critically acclaimed film wound up being a box office disappointment, only to become regarded as a classic over a decade after its initial release.
Direction
Brad Bird's unfiltered creative stubbornness is genuinely inspiring.
Production
Warner Bros' disastrous marketing gets the roasting it deserves.
Writing
Narrative perfectly mirrors its subject: underappreciated brilliance.
Director
Anthony Giacchino
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Giant's original design was much more alien and threatening until Bird insisted on a softer, more emotional silhouette.
The documentary's 2016 release coincided with a theatrical re-release, finally giving the film the big-screen moment it deserved—seventeen years late.

Reactions from the web
I must admit, the giant's dream is an excellent documentary that reveals some pretty deep stuff regarding the conception of The Iron Giant.
