The Messed Up Origins™ of The Iron Giant

The Iron Giant is one of the most emotionally resonant children's movies ever created. The adventure of Hogarth and his "metal menace" has made even the mightiest of men cry like itty-bitty-babies (speaking from experience)... but did you know it was based on a book? In this episode we're going to explore the ORIGINAL The Iron Giant story written by Ted Hughes and the truly BIZARRE events that make up its plot! ► Messed Up Origins™ Socials! » https://twitter.com/MessedUpOrigins » https://www.instagram.com/messeduporigins/ ► SOLOFAM MERCH: » https://bit.ly/SoloFamMerch ► Support the series on Patreon! » https://www.patreon.com/JonSolo ► Want more? » ALL Messed Up Origins: https://bit.ly/MessedUpOrigins » Disney Explained: https://bit.ly/DisneyExplained » ALL Mythology Explained: https://bit.ly/MythologyExplained » Norse Mythology: http://bit.ly/NorseMythologyExplained » Folklore Explained: https://bit.ly/FablesExplained » Astrology: http://bit.ly/AstrologyExplained » Messed Up Murders: https://bit.ly/MurderPlaylist ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ► Social Media: » Twitter: https://twitter.com/JonSolo » Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/JonSolo » Facebook Fan Page: https://facebook.com/TheRealJonSolo » Official Subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/jonsolo ► Join the Official Channel Discord: » https://www.patreon.com/JonSolo ► Send Fan Mail to: » SoloFamMail@gmail.com ► Business: » biz@MessedUpOrigins.com (Business Inquiries ONLY) ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▼ Credits ▼ » Researched by: Jon Solo » Written, Filmed, & Edited by: Jon Solo ▼ Resources ▼ » my favorites: https://messeduporigins.com/books » The Iron Giant by Ted Hughes (Kindle): https://amzn.to/380xCuG » The Iron Giant by Ted Hughes (paperback): https://amzn.to/386Ytp6 » The Iron Giant (1999) https://amzn.to/3G01h3Q
