i watched the last episode of the 1963 series on youtube and.... *sniffle* oh you better watch it yourself to find out why i am crying. why did it have to end this way! here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7RpXKOFEpI&feature=related Just wait till the end of the episode and you will se...

:lol: Thanks for the link! That guy (or gal) really went all-out to make those comparisons.

He's working in Lightwave, but hopes to be using Maya (the program used for Astro Boy) by the end of the year...

It was interesting to read the text at this site, and then compare with the books. http://v...
