My take on this movie is a bit different....its an absolute fantastic movie no doubt about it...but for me this movie holds a special meaning...this was the first animation movie i ever saw in my life...and i saw it for the first time when i was probably 9-10...it was a simple cartoon with a vry happy relshp between a boy and a huge robot and thats it. When i again saw it at one of my frnds house....i was 18 and i saw the movie with a totally different angel...i saw the conflict between the three main groups involved. The child the robot and the military and realised how it relates to todays world. Then i again saw the movie a year ago. M 28 now....n saw the self sacrifice that was done by the robot and how it is vry imp to all of us...something that we all can relate to at some or the other level...i realised that...this movie has so many different dimensions to it....this is my most fav animation movie to vegib with...the bar goes that much higher every time i see it.
9/10.
