The Iron Giant fulfills three important premises that every animation should have. First, it aims to appeal to multiple genres, featuring endearing characters like a boy, a robot, and some humorous moments for kids. Sed, the artwork—well-done drawings are appreciated for their teical quality. Third, it has a story with a clear beginning, middle, and end, with a script that evoke emotions in the audience.

  -It's a small red carpet,- murmured Thandie on, part of the voice ag team and the main cast. Experts in voice ag were used instead of famous actors to ensure high-quality performances, especially under Jim Waiit’s guidance.

  Billy's iment in the dubbing markets and hiring skilled individuals through a curriculum-based school has helped attract better talent and cultivate actors.

  -It's a children’s movie with a modest budget. We brought everything necessary and did everything required,- Billy ented. Seventeen million dolrs were ied in the film, plus awo million with somewhat infted budgets in some areas. Artists' saries were fixed and ungeable, and additional costs included purchasing some equipment, as some ses were a mix of 3D and 2D. Agreements for editing, assistants, good coordinators, and some extra dedicated to ema promotions, such as cups, toys, and small figurines given to children to highlight the movie’s image. Often, a toy attracts more kids than posters.

  The cost of 3D is plex, and as new maes were tested, the pricreased. However, it is expected that costs will decrease for future projects, although it’s a shame that these costs will only remain stable for about five more years at most.

  -I’d like to spit on that ent. Twenty million seemed excessive to me; you could unch six indepe films with that,- Thandie on remarked.

  -You uimate the produ. Even though it seems different, the workers' saries for an animation of this scale required more than 25 full-time animators w for five months. We also renewed equipment for the film and handled publicity, distribution, dubbing, administration, promotion, and favors here and there. We paid Ambliertai as a link with Universal, supp us against the dirty triany parying to restrain us in every aspect of ema. However, little by little, we need less stability,- Billy highlighted some backgrouails.

  Thandie etite, slender, almost unreal, wearing the smallest dress size a healthy woman could wear. She had chocote-colored skin and a slight British at, a plete beauty.

  They ehe sing. Previously, the +7 rating was debated; only oher movie, The Lion King, mao get an all-audience cssification.

  In the distance, some Lux Animation employees attehe event in Los Angeles, some being animators. The Iron Giant is set during the Cold War, a not-so-distant period, with material that satisfies that era and a nod to what it means to be human.

  The protagonist is a boy named Hogarth Hughes, who lives with his mother in a small coastal town. One day, while expl the forest near his house, Hogarth finds a giaal robot that has fallen from outer spad ends up damaging the town’s power sources.

  Despite initial fear, Hogarth befriends the giant robot, teag it about kindness and humanity. However, they soon discover that the gover is searg for the robot, fearing it is a national security threat.

  The movie follows Hogarth’s retionship with the Giant and the gover’s efforts to capture the robot.

  As tension mounts, Hogarth and his friends try to protect the Giant while the gover and the army prepare to front what they see as an unknown threat. The Iron Giant explores themes of tolerance, passion, and the importance of choosing good over fear and violence.

  The preferred image starts with the robot, a ten-thousand-pound giant, depicted in a powerful storm. Billy smiled at the animation quality; the pany has improved signifitly. Since 1993, it’s been on par with Disney, and the process has been refined since Gargoyles. Now, they be sidered among the best in the world, bining Ameri animation's 15 to 20 frames per sed with Japanese animations’ 5 to 10.

  -What do you think?- Billy asked Thandie.

  -It’s fantastic. It’s beautiful. It’s the first movie of this kind I’ve seen,- Thandie replied.

  -You should see more; we have many fantastic films. We try to make them for all audiences,- Billy said.

  -Brilliant, but in the UK, they haven’t successfully filled the market,- Thandie responded.

  -We’re getting there. We just don’t have Disney’s magic yet. A seventy-year brand is far beyond a small four-year-old pany,- Billy whispered.

  They tinued watg the movie calmly. The critics rated it a smooth 4.2, with few detractors. However, such criticism ot be overly biased; a more reasoned critique be challenged. Even if they attempt to give an exaggerated critique without enough veracity, they be punished. Journalistic impartiality must be clear. For example, it ot go against certain ratings. Billy has already initiated a wsuit on these matters. On television shows, harsher criticism is more on, but such critiques ot be btant. A neer sued for damages is a fair offer, but a neer sued for 10 or 11 million in bankruptcy.

  The m, Billy was sipping an espresso, a bck coffee, while reviewing notes for his uping ics, followed by his exercise routine. He got his suit ready and prepared for the sed spatial shoot of Independence Day. Many people were turned away because of their saries, but without a lead, there's not much to do or not do.

  The summer streets of Los Angeles, all located in a typical Ameri cityscape, shone in a regal m light as many people went about their day. Billy ehe small building for his meeting, with a verbal pint, trying to avoid less present stares. A total of thirteen people were lined up, all set for the script. There, Mili Avital took a seat, wearing high heels resembling sandals and a form-fitting dress.

  She extended her hand iing, and everyone fell silent as she was about to leave, waiting for her agent not far away. Billy had an appoi in 40 minutes; he arrived early to relieve some stress and take a breather. He was still nervous about these events, even now that he was better positioned. He signaled her to move a bit further from the pce, which Billy agreed to without much hesitation.

  Billy took a quick seat as she made a swift escape.

  -It's good to see you again,- Billy said he stairs, receiving a friendly hug.

  -How have you been? I'm close to getting the role, but there are things I still don’t fully uand about what they want or don’t want… ah, I still hate these things,- Mili said, smiling.

  -Try not to worry too much. These things are strange; sometimes, they just need someone who fits the role… I saw your performan ER. Great job pying a doctor; I see some success there,- Billy ented. He had suggested she try out for ER, and uhe general profile, she had taken his advice without hesitation, which surprised him.

  -You're right. Filming is in Chicago, and it's been a hassle with some of my csses, but I’m doing my best,- Mili replied.

  -Have you taken on other roles?- Billy asked.

  -No, this was a request from Ronald. I take it as it es, and if it’s good, I do it. I'm still indifferent to some roles. I wao take a role not long ago, but the audition was bizarre. They took me for an idiot. A producer was abusing his position, and I found out they already had someone lined up for the part,- Mili said, making a face.

  -I still question the uselessness of some producers who lead us down a dark path. They justify it by saying it's always been that way, which seems like nonsense. You should know how undighis industry be,- Billy ented.

  -Let’s not talk about that!- Mili said.

  Billy raised his arms in surrender, seeing how bad the experience had been for Mili.

  -I’ll shut up, but I hope in the ing months we do something about that idiot,- Billy said.

  -Just leave it,- Mili replied.

  -Okay, noble dy. I’ll call you when I need you. I tend to be a bit shy around these people,- Billy joked, receiving a pyful punch from Mili.

  -Deal. Make sure to run into my arms,- she responded.

  -I have your number,- Billy said.

  -Bah, I must have given you the wrong number. You’ve only called me once, and that was for my birthday,- Mili said.
