As far as I can tell, Iron Giant is the first movie Brad Bird directed. I'm not sure whether it got the reviews and popular acclaim that The Incredibles and Ratatouille, but I suspect it's the better movie.
Like The Incredibles, it has a great retro look - from sources like Warner Bros, old Superman cartoons, and Astro Boy. But unlike The Incredibles (I haven't seen Ratatouille yet), the story really got to me. Maybe I'm just more susceptible to boy and pet tales than midlife crisis.
I especially liked the hipster, "Call me Dean". If the name doesn't clue you, the Kerouac poster by his kitchen door should. He is just cool.
