In terms of content and tone, they are not very comparable. One is an action/comedy (with some philosophical undertones) and the other is a philosophical film with some action and comedy.
OK, they are comparable.
But Iron Giant made me cry, and that is rarer than making me laugh, so I voted for Iron Giant.

I am the biggest comic book nerd on this board (which isn't exactly something to be proud of), but I still have to go with Iron Giant.
And for the record The Incredibles is the very first Pixar movie I actually liked. Actually it's the first one I didn't even fall asleep through.

That's tough. Iron Giant really struck a nerve with me as one of the greatest animated flicks of all time. The Incredibles was pretty damn good as well, but I didn't have the same emotional response to it. I'd have to give ti to Iron Giant.

Very hard to vote for one over the other:
Iron Giant
1. More of an emotional movie
2. Loved the Superman connections
3. Great ending comment, "You are who you choose to be, Superman". We can do good if choose too.
4. Not really a kids movie
5. Characters were not as fun as The Incredibles, but the were real.
Incredibles
1. Pixar
2. Computer Animated
3. Real married life challenges
4. Loved the "James Bond" kind of music
5. Pro-Family ending
Right now I will give the slight edge to The Iron Giant, but I would like to vote again after The Incredibles come out on DVD.

Thats a tough call and it's like comparing apples and oranges.
They both were fantastic, but the two had completely different plotlines and emotions.
I love them both, so I can't make that call.

Difficult choice. Both are visually amazing, well scripted and acted however, while I love both of these films, I'm gonna have to go with the Incredibles!
