Hello people of the world and all who inhabit it!

I'm always finding out interesting facts about Astro boy so I thought to my self, why not make a thread? And so here I am^_^

And my first fact is...

Ok so I know everyone thinks Astro is young(10-13) but actually if you look when Toby is coming out of his school, it says metro city high school...

Interesting right? My facts will get more and more interesting everyday :D

I assume you refer to the 2009 film version; Atom's age varies throughout the versions, though. I do not think that any one in particular is the official age. Atom, like Shirley Temple, was most popular at his youngest age.

...also Toby COULD by in 9th grade and still be only 13. Ninth grade is the freshman year of high school in many (if not most) places.
