General consensus is Warner Bros. didn't give 1999's THE IRON GIANT its fair share of marketing, so it went unseen in theaters by a large number of people. Cartoon Network hopes to remedy this somewhat as it celebrates the network's debut of the film by dedicating 24 consecutive hours to this lovely animated feature. Beginning at 7 pm on Tuesday, July 2, 2002 and continuing until 7 pm on Wednesday, July 3, CN will be dedicated exclusively to airing THE IRON GIANT, so there will be plenty of opportunity to catch up with Hogarth Hughes and the misunderstood alien robot that crashes into his life.

Brad Bird, director of THE IRON GIANT, discusses the storyboarding techniques he applied to the film.
