	<htmltext>At least Astrogirl's not in it! I also hate the way that sex is brough in it now-a-days, but I hated it just as much when romance crept into the stories back then.<p>

It's always been the case that the vast majority of main characters are male (on the logic that girls will relate to both male and female characters, but boys will only relate to male characters). I remember being quite annoyed when the shows would suddenly introduce the female, waste-of-space version of the male character (Astrogirl/Batgirl/that stupid girl-lion from Kimba). Those female characters were so puke-making. </p><p>

Astroboy was such a pretty, asexual character, so much so that I could relate to him as much as my brother could. Now they have him looking more masculine (and a little older, I think). So I hope they don't sexualize his behaviour. I'll also be interested in seeing how the Cora character is rendered. (?)</p></htmltext>

	<htmltext>It's true the gap financing ran out, but if you'll remember something happening with the economy at that point? A bunch of... what's it called... lack of available credit? And with Astro being an independent animated film, it was hit the hardest.

Once financing was back in place the majority of the crew came back, and finished it. Sound designer Richard Anderson (Raiders of the Lost Ark) and composer John Ottman (Usual Suspects) were hired and the film finished in style.

See it, and then judge.</htmltext>

	<title>Do not touch at Tezuka's work</title>

	<htmltext><p>I don't want to write this message, but I have to, because I'm an avid reader of <b>Osamu Tezuka</b>, because I think he's one of the greatests authors among all creative arts and because this movie adaptation, judging from the trailer, is nothing short of a blasphemy.</p><p>They didn't need to make that film, they could have come up with their own robot teen hero instead of pillaging Tezuka's ideas and sculpting them into a run-of-the-mill cartoon comedy with cool kids. This is exactly what it's going to be, you just have to hear some of the lines, the delivery or see a few of the situations to know what you're getting into. This is the killing of a Japanese icon on the altar of aseptic filmmaking and inept storytelling with all the odious cliches we've been enduring film after film in American cinema for the past 10 years or more.</p><p>Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's bad because it's a production from the US; I love American films, I love good American films. It's bad because Astro Boy, like any other Tezuka work, has so much personality and such a unique Japanese identity that if you stray from it, you're not only losing what makes it so special but you're trashing it. Tezuka could be grandiose and grotesque, humane and merciless, profound and foolish, all this in the few pages of a single story. This is precious, rare, a delight to read. Even if Astro Boy is the lighter side of his vast work, it still should be handled with great care and pertinence, which was obviously not the intention of the filmmakers: their goal was just to make it cool and trendy for modern audiences as to rake money, not critical praise from his fans and admirers.</p><p>Even though the story is completely different from the original manga, <b>Metropolis</b> (2001), a Japanese animation film, is certainly more faithful to Tezuka's style and spirit. Rin Taro and Katsuhiro Otomo (author of Akira, who wrote the script) perfectly grasped what made Tezuka's stories so inspiring and beautiful, the vulnerability and complexity of his characters behind the apparent simplicity. And they preserved the original drawing style! Yes, it was daring, but it was right. This is Tezuka, this is how his stories look and read, like it or not, but if you don't, leave them alone instead of trying to mend what you don't comprehend.</p></htmltext>
<tokenext>I do n't want to write this message , but I have to , because I 'm an avid reader of Osamu Tezuka , because I think he 's one of the greatests authors among all creative arts and because this movie adaptation , judging from the trailer , is nothing short of a blasphemy.They did n't need to make that film , they could have come up with their own robot teen hero instead of pillaging Tezuka 's ideas and sculpting them into a run-of-the-mill cartoon comedy with cool kids .
This is exactly what it 's going to be , you just have to hear some of the lines , the delivery or see a few of the situations to know what you 're getting into .
This is the killing of a Japanese icon on the altar of aseptic filmmaking and inept storytelling with all the odious cliches we 've been enduring film after film in American cinema for the past 10 years or more.Do n't get me wrong , I do n't think it 's bad because it 's a production from the US ; I love American films , I love good American films .
It 's bad because Astro Boy , like any other Tezuka work , has so much personality and such a unique Japanese identity that if you stray from it , you 're not only losing what makes it so special but you 're trashing it .
Tezuka could be grandiose and grotesque , humane and merciless , profound and foolish , all this in the few pages of a single story .
This is precious , rare , a delight to read .
Even if Astro Boy is the lighter side of his vast work , it still should be handled with great care and pertinence , which was obviously not the intention of the filmmakers : their goal was just to make it cool and trendy for modern audiences as to rake money , not critical praise from his fans and admirers.Even though the story is completely different from the original manga , Metropolis ( 2001 ) , a Japanese animation film , is certainly more faithful to Tezuka 's style and spirit .
Rin Taro and Katsuhiro Otomo ( author of Akira , who wrote the script ) perfectly grasped what made Tezuka 's stories so inspiring and beautiful , the vulnerability and complexity of his characters behind the apparent simplicity .
And they preserved the original drawing style !
Yes , it was daring , but it was right .
This is Tezuka , this is how his stories look and read , like it or not , but if you do n't , leave them alone instead of trying to mend what you do n't comprehend .</tokentext>
