IRON GIANT 10 YEAR REUNION !!!!!


Recently I was asked to take part in the Iron Giant 10th anniversary reunion on Oct. 23rd, 2009. It was amazing seeing everyone again. The Iron Giant was my first real job in feature animation. I was a kid, still in school, and Brad and the crew really took us kids under their wings. On the Panel my buddy Eddie Rosas and I talked about what it was like being rookie kids working with Brad and the crew on that amazing film. We definitely had stories (thats me in the white shirt embarrassing Brad). Working on that film changed my life. It is amazing to see how many people have come to love Giant, especially after its less than blockbuster opening weekend 10 years ago, August 6th 1999. You've come a long way Giant! SUUUUU - PER - MAAAAN.

Hey,Shane! I so remember this and watching it in the theatre in Valencia. Right? Doesn't seem like it was ten years ago, wow! Yes, I have the DVD and the Coraline Blu-Ray. I heard rumors of Coraline being up for Academy nomination?? So awesome! Would you get to go the Kodak?
I just read your posts on MJ too. Funny, you're the first person I thought of when I heard the news.Someday you're gonna have to show Dave your MJ moves!! Let's go to Disneyland soon, yes???

i can't believe that it was ten years ago! I was a wee little kid and Iron Giant was the only movie me and my little brother both liked. It's a family favorite. ;) Have fun today!

I think it is truly wonderful how SO MANY people have embraced Iron Giant. It is one of my absolute favorite films- not "animated"- I mean FILMS! As in, all time!

Hi, Shane! You were awesome, dude. I loved what you had to say about being a kid and getting your first shot as a professional. Those were great stories.

Brad Bird is the best. I've worked with a lot of heavy weights in my career, but he is awesome.

Hey Shane,

Your work is amazing! I think that the Giant is the best animated film of all time. The heart, story, design, animation were just so perfect.

I hope to someday be a part of something so special.
Just a true classic.

Anyway err on abercrombie Outlet the side of caution and choose the abercrombie and fitch larger size. If the abercrombie sale size 20 blouse is too big, but abercrombie & fitch the size 18 is too small, choose abercrombie the larger blouse. This will enable you to have it fitted. A seamstress or tailor abercrombie uk can't do anything with a garment that's too small abercrombie london -- he or she can, however, tailor a garment abercrombie and Fitch Polo that's too big to fit you to a T.Most plus size abercrombie Polos women's clothing will fail to fit one particular part of her body.
