Astro Boy #1: Astro Boy is beloved in the rest of the world. It’s time Americans learn about the "Mickey Mouse of Japan"


Astro Boy

Astro Boy is a modern re-telling of the classic manga comic created by Osamu Tezuka in the 1950s. Set in futuristic Metro City, Astro Boy is about a young robot with incredible powers created by a brilliant scientist in the image of the son he has lost. Unable to fulfill the grieving man's expectations, our hero embarks on a journey in search of acceptance, experiencing betrayal and a netherworld of robot gladiators, before he returns to save Metro City and reconcile with the father who had rejected him.

Kristen will be voicing Cora, who is a new addition to the Astro Boy universe: “She’s kinda sassy, kinda opinionated - she’s got a tough exterior and a soft interior. She’s fun, she’s wonderful.”




Astro Boy is set to be released on Oct 23, 2009.

Kristen Bell and Freddie Highmore talk ”Astro Boy”

Quote:
Highmore also spoke about the hope that "Astro Boy" will play for both kids and grown-ups: "There's such a range of emotions that you go through, it's a roller-coaster ride. We showed some clips, and people seemed to laugh in all the right places … and later, it gets darker and more adult." He also noted that the nature of working on animation didn't prevent he and his co-star from bonding: '"There are a lot of people involved, and it's hard when you're in a room on your own; I never was in the room with Kristen even though we're supposed to be great friends … but the tone seems right between the two characters, even though we never met."
Preview footage from Astro Boy

Quote:
Bowers (Flushed Away) calls Astro Boy "the first big-screen incarnation of the character. ... It's a classic superhero origin story, really. You find out what Astro Boy is and where he comes from in the story. And it's hard. It's a very emotional story."

It's an animation character. They sell Totoro merchandise in every street corner and even in McDonald's happy meals there too when I was studying abroad in Japan
