The Iron Giant is getting an in depth making of documentary

The Iron Giant is a film that a great many people seem to love but one that somehow totally bomed at the box office.

Released on a budget of around $80 million in 1999, the film went on to gross just over $30 million worldwide, despite being acclaimed by audiences and critics. It just seemed to be botched on release by Warner Bros. with a marketing campaign that painted it as something altogether lighter and more action packed.

Well thank the stars for home video as The Iron Giant has picked up a real following in other formats, so much so that a remastered version was released in select cinemas last year and will now be making its way to blu-ray and DVD. And it's also getting a feature lengthed making of called The Giant's Dream which goes into the mad spirit behind the film.
