The Iron Giant (1999)
Movie
Released
87 minutes, original UK cinema version. A boy's friendship with an enormous robot makes an argument about fear and choice feel immediate. Brad Bird gives the giant enough comic awkwardness that the danger to him matters before the military machinery arrives. Choose the original theatrical version here, rather than assuming every later edition has the same duration.
