Inside Jokes
- The 2 trainmen, Frank and Ollie, are named after and caricatures of (as well as voiced by) Disney animators Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston. Animation writer Earl Kress said that "Frank and Ollie are also life-long train enthusiasts and have extensive scale model railroads in their backyards like Walt Disney used to have."
Trivia
- Based on the book "The Iron Man" by Ted Hughes.
- In addition, the last name for Annie and Hogarth ("Hughes"), is an homage to the author.
- Peter Cullen, Sean Connery, Frank Welker, and James Earl Jones were considered to voice the role of the Iron Giant before it went over to Vin Diesel.
- First 2D animated feature film to have a major character, the title character, fully computer-generated.
- The film originally meant to be a musical and before that, Pete Townshend and Des McAnuff developed it as a stage musical, using songs from Pete Townshend's concept album "The Iron Man" (which was also based on Ted Hughes book of the same name). Des McAnuff decided it would work better as an animated film and pitched it to Warner Bros.
- Warner Bros. originally wanted John Travolta as the voice of Dean and Arnold Schwarzenegger as the voice of Kent Mansley.
