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.
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.

Ah, I see. Then forget about the rip-off thing I said. =P
lol... Harry Potter...
They should make a Hobbit movie. I loved that book and it's much better then Lord of the Rings. =)

They are making a Hobbit movie. However Peter Jackson won't be directing it cause he asked the studio for way too much $$. We'll have to wait and see.
YAY!! Too bad Peter Jackson won't direct it... =/ I hope whoever else is gonna direct will make it just as awesome as the Lord of the Rings movies.
Does anyone know if they've released any teasers or trailers yet?

Nope. Not even sure there's a script yet
I hate puns but: Looks like this thread "transformed" into a Harry Potter discussion.
The only thing I didn't like about the Harry Potter movies was watching Richard Harris slowly dying while trying to play Albus Dumbledore in the second movie. I mean, seriously man, it's obvious that guy is not long for this world and his wheezy death-rattle performance completely distracted me from the movie.

Thats true, but he did it for his grand-daughter. I thought his performance was exceptional to be honest. But that is just what I pictured dumblodore to be like. But I like the movies alot. I think because I like the books so much, but *shrugs* everyone has their own opinion. :)
