(Blu-ray, Warner Bros.)
A nine-year-old boy finds a giant robot in the woods trying to eat an electrical station. After some uneasy moments, they eventually become friends, but the robots insatiable appetite for metal becomes a problem and attracts the attention of the government. A suspicious agent follows the clues to the boy's house and takes a room there. When the boy accidentally activates the robot's self-defense mechanism, more destruction ensues and the government agent calls in the military. When they fire a nuclear missile the robot emulates his favorite superhero to save the town with an act of self sacrifice. Don't worry, there is a happy ending, that conveniently sets up a sequel if so desired. Better than the average animated 90s film, but the military stereotypes are predictable and it can be loud and annoying during the action scenes.
