Official LEGO Comments 4 Last Updated 2 months ago. Click "Updates" above to see the latest. For this project, I propose that a set be made based on the 1999 Warner Brothers hit animated film The Iron Giant. Known for its beautiful storytelling and masterful animation, this movie is beloved by fans old and young all over the world. I believe that a LEGO product based in this film would not just be popular with consumers, but rather be an enormous success.
Within this project, there would be 5 main characters: The Iron Giant with changeable eyes and weaponry to depict his evil state from the movie, Hogarth Hughes with the alien bolt he finds at the end of the film, Annie Hughes and a coffee pot, Kent Mansley and a fedora, and Dean McCoppin with a coffee cup. The entire build consists of approximately 2,023 pieces, including the Giant, minifigures, and accessories. The Giant's head rotates and tilts, and his arms, legs, wrists, hips, and ankles are all articulated to both accommodate his size and weight, and allow him to replicate classic poses from the movie. Despite having been able to find a proper audience when it was first released in movie theaters back in 1999, director Brad Bird’s animated film The Iron Giant is now considered an animated classic. The story of a humongous alien robot who befriends a young boy in ’50s America recently got a theatrical and Blu-ray re-release, which included a new documentary about Brad Bird’s making of the film, and much more.
Clearly, the love for The Iron Giant has only become louder and more intense over time. Now an Iron Giant fan who goes by the username BrettCUV has proposed the idea to create a brick-and-minifig representation of the beloved film for the LEGO Ideas Lab, where hardcore Lego fans can submit their ideas for future sets. If they receive enough votes from other fans, Lego can consider them for actual manufacture and sale. In the past, fans have proposed Lego sets for the likes of The Golden Girls, Firefly, and many other pop culture favorites. But with The Iron Giant actually being a property aimed at kids, it might have a real chance at happening this time. According to BrettCUV, the project should include “[five] main characters: The Iron Giant with changeable eyes and weaponry to depict his evil state from the movie, Hogarth Hughes with the alien bolt he finds at the end of the film, Annie Hughes and a coffee pot, Kent Mansley and a fedora, and Dean McCoppin with a coffee cup.
The entire build consists of approximately 2,023 pieces, including the Giant, mini figures, and accessories.” He continues, “The Giant’s head rotates and tilts, and his arms, legs, wrists, hips, and ankles are all articulated to both accommodate his size and weight, and allow him to replicate classic poses from the movie.” Right now he has a few hundred supporters backing up this idea, but if you want to see this become a reality, be sure to have your voice heard now by clicking right here.

If it gets past that stage, the project will become a new LEGO Ideas set. Brett Cuviello, a LEGO-fan designer, is hoping his set will make to the LEGO Review. His set is based on Warner Bros.' full-length animated motion picture The Iron Giant (1999). "Within this project, there would be 5 main characters: The Iron Giant with changeable eyes and weaponry to depict his evil state from the movie, Hogarth Hughes with the alien bolt he finds at the end of the film, Annie Hughes and a coffee pot, Kent Mansley and a fedora, and Dean McCoppin with a coffee cup," Cuviello explains. "
The Giant's head rotates and tilts, and his arms, legs, wrists, hips, and ankles are all articulated to both accommodate his size and weight, and allow him to replicate classic poses from the movie." At this moment, his The Iron Giant LEGO set has 2,308 supporters. To be reviewed, the set needs 10,000 supporters. If you'd like to add your support, click here. The film takes place in October of 1957, when America had plenty to be worried about. And on the fourth day of that month, the Soviets successfully launched the first manmade satellite, Sputnik, into orbit. The space race had officially begun. The Cold War just got colder. People were unsure about their neighbors, even questioning their friends. In the small town of Rockwell, Maine, Annie Hughes (voice of Jennifer Aniston) is just worried about putting supper on the table for herself and her nine-year-old son, Hogarth (voice of Eli Marienthal). A single mother holding down a job at the local diner, Annie has her hands full with Hogarth—headstrong and imaginative, always on the lookout for the latest attempted takeover by mutant aliens or subversive invaders.
So when a local fisherman comes into the diner with a tall tale about a huge metal man falling into the sea, the only one to pay him much attention is Hogarth, who sets out exploring to find the enormous robot. What he does find is a 50-foot giant (voice by Vin Diesel) with an insatiable appetite for metal and a childlike curiosity about its new world. The voice-cast also featured Christopher McDonald as government agent Kent Mansley, Harry Connick, Jr. as Dean, Hogarth's beatnick friend, James Gammon as Marv Loach / Floyd Turbeaux, Cloris Leachman as Mrs. Tensedge, John Mahoney as General Rogard, and M. Emmet Walsh (as Earl Stutz). Warner Bros.' The Iron Giant was directed by Brad Bird, written by Tim McCanlies, and based on the book of the same name by British Poet Laureate Ted Hughes.
