Uh... you appear to be suffering some kind of temporal confusion - Transformers predates Iron Giant by nearly 15 years. From wikipedia:

"The Iron Giant is a 1999 animated science fiction film"

"The Transformers was an American cartoon ... Original run: September 17, 1984 â?? November 11, 1987"

Chard!:
I was talking about the kid from this movie and his relationship with the transformer. Did  this relationship appear in the old transformers cartoon aswell?

Yes, both in the original cartoon and the comic book series there was a kid with a special friendship with Bumblebee. The kid and his family are straight out of the comics in fact.

But if we want to talk about little boys and their giant robot friend I would have to say that Iron Giant is in fact a thinly veiled rip-off of Gigantor.


--- Quote ---Gigantor (originally Tetsujin-nijūhachi-gō 鉄人28号, literally "Iron Man #28") was a manga by Mitsuteru Yokoyama published in 1958 which was later made into several anime series, the first in 1963.

Correction: Beast Wars/Machines is Transformers.

I have every episode of both on tape. I've been meaning to get the DVDs.
