The Astroboy movie.

[groenewegendavid]

As the movie is coming out next year, I want to help spread Astroboy's identity to everyone. This means that I will wear a tee-shirt and try to make other people watch the 1980's episodes and try to hook them.
I will also watch Astroboy, when it comes out at least 30 times, to make the box office a smash. ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS WATCH IT AS WELL. I hope that the movie will not be a box flop because Astro does not deserve being a sub-standard, average movie.
PLEASE WATCH THE MOVIE AND TELL YOUR FRIENDS TO AS WELL.

I like your page; however,

Call me a nit picker (too much attention to detail), but your My Astro Webpage has some factual errors.

The legendary Japanese animator Osamu Tezuka who was the father of Manga Entertainment, created 'Tetsuwan Atom' (The Mighty Atom, in 1951)

You need to check this date, the Tezuka site lists the 'Captain Atom' series as originating in 'Shonen' in 1951, but I am sure that Tetsuwan Atom did not begin until later in Gas People, in manga 15, was dated 1952. The character Ambassador or Captain Atom was the prototype for Tetsuwan Atom though. Volume 15 contains both stories.

As World War 2 had been over only 5 years ago, Japan was getting to grips with Hiroshima recently being destroyed by the hydrogen bomb

It was an atom, not a hydrogen bomb. The difference is fission vs. fusion.

Apart from his famous work about Astro Boy, Tezuka also created Simba, The White Lion, which some people believe was copied without permission by Disney in "The Lion King."

Simba is Swaheli for lion, as such Fred Ladd rejected it as an English name for Leo the Lion. As I understand it, one of his coworkers had a daughter named 'Kim', and they settled on Kimba as a name that they could protect under trademark or copyright law. B)

The more Astro sites the better!

Are you still working on the episode guide? The link didn't work for me.

[groenewegendavid]

Yeah... I am still building the web-site.
It might take some time.

I don't know if i'll see it in theaters. (I'll have to wait for the ads to make a final decision.) But i'll definiatly rent it. If this movie fails in the box office, it can still be a big hit in rentals as so many movies today seem to be.

As I read the manga, I take notes that mainly compare the manga to the animated series (what is the plural for 'series'?), but I have had to concentrate on college for now. I myself could not get the link to work. I will try to find a better host. B)

Is this move going to be a cartoon to hold the same feel as the old shows or are they going to do it all on a computer ?

Any one know ?

I have read that it will be 100% CGI, as to whether or not it will retain its cartoon appearance, I know not.

Check this thread: Astro Film, here you will find your answer.
