* The original script has its own heartwarming ending:
** After the Giant's sacrifice, Hogarth, Annie, and Dean are all town celebrities. Dean has gone from being an outsider to a liked and respected figure, and other people say the three of them make a nice family. As they're walking together, Hogarth sees a piece of scorched iron on the ground. He picks it up, looks at it with a bittersweet expression, puts it in his pocket, and looks up at the sky.

He's working on an electronic project in his room when a meteor crashes in the field outside. After using an elephant to pull the meteor out of its crater, it's revealed to be the Giant's head. While he's inside the barn with the head, Sashi's mother calls him for dinner and as he walks out, the Giant's eyes light up. He looks around and his antenna emerges. Then his scattered parts are seen springing back to life in different parts of the world, and some of them sneak onto an ocean liner heading for India.
** Back in Hogarth's room, he sees the piece of iron he found move towards his window. Knowing what it means, he opens the window and watches it go. Then the Giant's hand is seen in Earth's orbit. It springs to life and re-enters the atmosphere, reaching towards Earth; meaning that the Giant is either going to reunite with Hogarth or help Sashi, another kid like Hogarth, find friends.
