Trivia
The last name for Annie and Hogarth, Hughes, is an homage to Ted Hughes, author of the original children's book upon which the movie is based.
Was originally meant to be a musical. Pete Townshend and Des McAnuff developed it as a stage musical, using songs from Pete Townshend's concept album 'The Iron Man'.
When Hogarth first shows the Giant his Superman comics, the theme music from the Max Fleischer 'Superman' (1941) cartoons of the 1940's is heard in the background.
