The Iron Giant Reaction

Anytime queen! I look forward to many more special events you decide to host! ^_^

Couldn’t have put it better myself mate their music really makes me wanna do that too!!😂 I absolutely love the way they outro CB too, hits me right in the heart! I remember the first song I ever heard from them was on a movie called The Wild, it might even be a Disney movie now that I think about it but yeah I’m pretty sure the song was Clocks! Have you listened to Talk, or Magic? Those are some of my other favourites✨

This totally resonates with me. I think this film is filled with adult themes that maybe wouldn't hit you as hard as a kid when you're just watching it for the cool robot and fun animation. But I think that's part of what makes it so spectacular- it really is for all ages. I had something similar happen to me recently when I reread the Harry Potter series. As a kid I just loved the magic and fantasy world but as an adult I was like.... wait a minute... this series has SO MUCH TO SAY about politics and love and grief and how did I miss this!? 🤣

🤣🤣🤣 This comment just made my day! I feel like that was an extra dweeby moment on my end and to know you enjoyed it so much is awesome lol! It's really cool that you were watching it for the first time too! Yeah this film had me hooked emotionally. I can totally see why it's a classic. Thank you so much for watching 🥺❤️

OH AND PS I have been *jamming out* to Charlie Brown by Coldplay ever since you mentioned it! I forgot how much I freaking love Coldplay. Their music makes me want to go run and dance in a sunny field of flowers 🥺

Jordan thank you so much for sharing this with me and with us. I'm really sorry you dealt which such instability as a kid but thank goodness for your sweet Nana and amazing films like the Iron Giant. I'm honestly beyond honored that I could bring back a piece of that escapism and joy for you with our movie night. Moments like this are what make all the work I put into the channel worth it, so thank you <3

Oh yay I'm glad it's okay now :) And thank you Zulu! <3

LOL that one glistening tear stole the show XD I totally see what you're saying about the progression but I suppose I didn't think much of it because it's a kid's movie. Their attention span can only be kept for so long hahaha. I'm so glad the link worked for you and I'm really glad you enjoyed the reaction :D

I think I was 7 years old when I first watched this. I certainly enjoyed it and remember it fondly but it didn't really mean much to me back then. I've then re-watched again when I was 18 or so and I loved it so much more. I guess I didn't really appreciate it's greatness as a kid but as an adult, I always cry at the end, whenever I watch it. It's a masterpiece.

I was not there for the live reaction. But when I heard Alycia start to sing a song from Beauty & the Beast in the first few minutes (my all time fav Disney), I was smiling the whole time. Never saw this movie but I did get emotionally invested.

It's my Gmail address, so it just seemed normal seeing it onscreen. I completely forgot. -Lol

Your question at the end there really got me thinking. Like man, what DID this movie mean to me as a kid? It’s pretty hard to put into words if I’m honest. I know we’ve talked about escapism before on the channel and I don’t wanna turn this into some sob story but when I was a kid, movies like this were my whole world. My upbringing was kind of all over the place, let’s just say I didn’t have the most loving home life (not including the years I spent in Scotland with my nana those were full of love and happy memories✨) and looking back some of my fondest memories were those little 90 minutes where I could just live in someone else’s world for a while, feel my emotions and even learn what it means to be good and loving without bias! I strongly believe that beautiful movies like this to a large extent shaped me into the compassionate and caring person I aspire to be everyday, and if that doesn’t mean the world to me I don’t know what does. I seriously love getting to react to these amazing shows for the first time right along with you mate, it’s so rewarding to be able to discuss and enjoy these experiences with other people who truly care, but there’s just something even more special about getting to see you react to something I hold so dear... I’m nothing but grateful and I hope you know I’ll never watch this movie on my own again so thank you so much🌟🥺

Jordan

Thanks queen! Have a safe trip to Dallas! ^_^

probably cause i saw it only a few hours after it being postet,maybe google drive got them bots to take care of copyrighted content,or i don't know.But enjoyed watching your reaction to it,that one tear at the end of it xD can't wait for the next one :D hopefully next time i can make it to the premier :) i know the iron giant is a classic and a great movie but i still think that the story moves too fast as everything progresses in a matter of maybe a few days or a week,which they couldn't portraite their relationship good enough as hogart didn't even give him a name :/

Sorry you're having trouble with it!

Let me know if it's working for you now??? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1c5Uafstmf7siU1VuKXoHo4tE-ho_VfYB/view?usp=sharing

Oh I'm glad you got it to work! Yeah the link is being weird for some people :/

Thank YOU for coming out for it and for being a patron for all these years <3

I had such a blast with you guys <3 Thank you for coming out!

OMG! I always forget that some of my patrons have different names on discord- I'm so glad you were able to make it to the livestream! Especially since I mentioned you lol! No, thank YOU <3

Awwww no no no, future in-law time is much more important! But you were definitely missed on discord! I thought this film did such a beautiful job of explaining death in a way that's digestible for children. AND I DID NOT SEE BATTLE MODE COMING LOL! That was such a surprising moment! Thank you so much for watching and I'm excited for the next one too :)

Same here.

hmmm...don't know whats going on with the link but its just loading for me.downloaded it as it was faster than just waiting for eternity.got my breakfast and file ready,lets goooo

MadScientist_29

Weird, it worked for me. I just wish that I could've watched along with the livestream but I was out with the future in-laws. I'm so happy that you were finally able to watch this movie Queen!!!! This movie was probably the first thing I watched that talked about dying when I was very young and I always loved the tender moment where Hogarth explains souls to the Giant! I knew Vin Diesel was the Giant but I actually had no idea that Jennifer Anniston played his mom lol!!! The whole time when you were like "something is gonna happen" I was like "it won't happen like you think it will, just wait until you see his battle mode lol!!!" But I'm so happy that you loved it and that you were able to experience this piece of our childhood!!! 90s KIDS RULE!!!!!! I can't wait to see what your next movie reaction is and I'm looking forward to joining you for that one as well my queen!!!!❤❤😉😉

Commander Dodge

The stream was awesome, Alycia! Thanks once again for doing it! :)

Malcolm Ferguson

That was so fun Alycia! Thanks for treating the dweebdom to such a fantastic reaction! When you ever get the time, it would be awesome if you could post a Q&A video on youtube where you pick like 15-20 questions to answer so the non patreons could know more about the queen! :)

It was such a great experience interacting with everyone in real time. I didn't realize until you said "Billy" that I am GenericSomeone on discord. It probably seemed like there was a stalker in the chat -LOL Thank you, again! :)

But check out the link I sent you when you have the time, but it is a 2nd draft. So, I know what's wrong with it, and what I need to fix. But here's to another movie night Al!

Julian Q

Yeah, link works. But it's sort of the same thing that happened with the TNTL video.

Hmm... the video isn't playing on Patreon for some reason (at least on my end) so here's the link to copy and paste: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1c5Uafstmf7siU1VuKXoHo4tE-ho_VfYB/view?usp=sharing
