Welcome to Animator's Breakfast. In our first episode, I'm joined with Aidan McAteer to discuss The Iron Giant. Directed by Brad Bird, this 1999 epic traditionally animated feature film has stood the test of time to become one of the greatest animated features of all time.

We talk about its storytelling mechanics and how important it is to understand giving relationships time and earning that emotion. We also discuss how it inspired Aidan's work throughout the years, from college all the way to now, where he just won Best Director for Dangermouse at Animation Dingle and Best Animation at the Galway Film Fleadh for Streets of Fury.

I'd definitely recommend checking it out :)
