It's 2019 and I'm finding out about this movie now. It looks so good, like it was made in the 2010s....the studio that animated this made it look so freaking clean. Like it still looks new.
It's more faithful too. Originally his "father" rejected him because Astro was too powerful and shut him down. Astro wanted to Stop the scrapping of his nanny robot and destroyed the convection belt assembly. He created a the must powerful robot with a brain that can think for itself and has a heart than can feel to boot. It also has equal robot rights and creates antagonists why are not 1 D.
I was watching "Pluto" tonight and wondered if they ever made an Astroboy CGI movie, and I had a bizarre dream-like notion of Dr Tenma being voiced by Nicolas Cage and oh my god this is real. I had completely forgotten about this movie until I looked it up just now.
Such a very underrated film and glad its on Hulu for people who miss it out 10 years ago (also it sucks it got destroyed by where the wild things are,paranormal activity,And saw 6 (three of those are good) on its Halloween/October release at the box office worldwide,it had a lot of familiar people in this film like Nicolas cage,Samuel L Jackson,Nathan Lane,Kristen Bell,Eugene Levy,Charlize Theron,Bill Nighy,And Freddie Highmore but people are more on a Halloween train for big name horror films like saw 6 and paranormal activity and rarely people are familiar with Astro boy which is very sad since Astro boy really put the map on anime alongside speed racer back in the days (even the speed racer get destroyed by Indiana Jones and the kingdom of the crystal skull and iron man at the box office worldwide back in 2008 (a year before Astro boy came out) and should of came out like in spring 2009) and I really wish The Astro boy movie should of came out in Early 2010 so it can do better at the box office worldwide)

Just saw this today. Heard of the manga. I know the manga is considered at the very least a classic. At the very least. But wow this movie is amazing. The trailer is cool. But the story is even better then the trailer leads one to believe. A gem of a story for sure.
is this movie not going to be made the second one? i really hope this film has second seasons (or the sequel) because this film is very cool and my favorite.
