Why this film ended up being a box office disappointment mainly because I've watched this film countless times as a kid and so has most (if not, all) of my friends. But regardless, its honestly one of the best animated films ever made and Warner Bros should've had more confidence in the film from when it was initially released to its blu-ray release. And I don't why this was the case, but The Iron Giant wasn't available on blu-ray at 3 different Best Buy locations in my area (so I ordered my blu-ray online). I don't know if they're quietly putting this on shelves like what they did with the DVD. Heck, I wasn't even aware of the DVD/Digital release a few months ago. So when I found out about that, of course, I was confused as to why they released it on DVD and Digital but efforts couldn't have been made to release the blu-ray with the other two releases mentioned above. So when I got the blu-ray in the mail and I'm actually really disappointed that they gave a Blu-ray, DVD and Digital packaging for The Limited Edition but couldn't do this for the regular Blu-Ray edition given how that was released with JUST the blu-ray when it was obvious that they could've done more with it like make it a Blu-Ray, DVD and Digital combo (which is what they should've done). So even to this day, Warner Bros still doesn't have the confidence for this film like they should and its honestly quite sad. Oh well, at least the film was finally released on Blu-Ray after holding it off from the DVD/Digital releases for several months for no reason whatsoever.
