Wow! hmy:

And to think there's a title "Astro Boy is weak in the US" in this page...

In 068 Rebellion of the Dinosaur People Duke Red has created a theme park with robotic dinosaurs. However, he has also brought real dinosaurs to life by some chemical process. They escape from his lab, & terrorize the people in the park. [url]http://en-f.tezuka.co.jp/anime/sakuhin/subtitle/ts002.html [/url]

I think this is on the English version. In relation to the 2003 Frankenstein story, Atom,Tamao, & Shib are acting as chaperones when one little boy is separated from the class. He is carried away by a Pterodactyl.

BTW, there is another episode that has a very similar plot to Armegeddon. Dr. O, Atom, Hamegg, & 1 other go to plant explosives on an asteroid to destroy it before it collides with earth.

It is one thing to say that Rebellion predates Park by several decades, but quite another thing to say Michael Crichton ripped off Tezuka. Without a thorough examination of scifi of the early 20th century, I would not venture to say that Tezuka originated any given story. I do know of one short story (Arena) that was used by The Outer Limits, Astroboy, Star Trek, Buck Rodgers, Sp 1999, & a few other scifi programs. irate: Yet, how many actually credited the author?

Tezuka does credit The Fly as the inspiration for his own manga story, whose animated version was 049 Transparent Giant, & we might assume that the credits to 078 The World in Five Hundred Thousand Years properly cited The Time Machine, but anyone who watches movies regularly will surely see newer ones that certainly borrowed from older ones. The unforgivable thing is to deny being inspired by an older work when it is obvious that that is the case.

Don't forget that Astroboy is a more advanced form of Isac Asimov's robot concept! Most of what happens in the Astroboy series is also discussed in I, Robot (not the movie which as good as it is is only set in the world and not part of the book)

How could I have neglected to mention the Chronicles & the Terminator? Long before the Terminator travelled backward in time to give the man whose design was used to make the T the ideas that he would have never been able to make on his own, Atom travelled backward in time & gave Tezuka the idea to create a little robot character.

I was excited.


I think all my movie ideas were inspired from other movies. I will give credit to those who did.

[CommanderEVE]

Ok who where they?

[stoogefreaky]

I can't say here.
