The
2-LP package taps directly into the ethos of the film, with a pull tab
opening the Giant’s die-cut eyes on the front jacket. Depending on which
inner sleeve has been slotted in the first position directly behind the
cover, the reveal is different. Open the eyes in normal or defense
mode! An unboxing video can be seen here.
Creating The Iron Giant’s
beautiful, sympathetic score was Michael Kamen—one of his last major
scores and his first animated film, miles away from the action
blockbusters for which he had become known, but much closer to his
heart. Kamen’s gorgeous score is full of melody, humor and sensitivity,
grandly performed by the Czech Philharmonic. It scales as big as the
threat of nuclear annihilation, and as intimate as the goodness that
connects nine-year-old Hogarth Hughes to the alien machine—who decides
he would rather be “Superman” than a weapon.
This
Deluxe Edition adds an additional 13 minutes of alternates, outtakes
and rare demos—including a piano-and-guitar attempt at an unrealized
song, “Souls Don’t Die,” based on Kamen’s theme, performed by Kamen and
Eric Clapton. Tim Greiving’s new liner notes feature new interview
material with director Brad Bird, music editor Christopher Brooks and
orchestrator Blake Neely, going deep into Kamen’s working process and
their adoration for the gifted, late composer.
A modern classic, The Iron Giant, directed by Brad Bird (The Incredibles, Mission: Impossible—Ghost Protocol)
tells the story of a young boy who befriends a giant alien robot during
the Sputnik era of the Cold War. Based on the 1968 book The Iron Man
by poet Ted Hughes, the film is a marvel of heartfelt storytelling,
with timeless themes of friendship, caring and self-determination.
