      Astro Boy's Love

      Before and after Chef Gou cooked the food, I took the time to watch this cartoon that I've always been interested in, but I've never seen

      before, only to find out that the iron-armed Astro Boy who stayed in my childhood memory was like that. It's obvious, except for five words, I don't know anything else. So

      Astro Boy is a tragic and tragic film.

      It's chilling to watch an ethical film. Although it is finally far-fetched to continue a comedy ending,

      I feel...

      Astro Boy and Leo's Undying Memories

      Impressed is Nicolas Cage dubbing Astro Boy's father. And the expression of the characters in the play is the same as that of Cage.

      Astro Boy is an indelible memory for people born in the 1960s and 1970s in China. Back then, Japan gave it to China for free, on the condition that Casio's commercials were broadcast by the way.

      At that time, even if there was no TV at home, there were also villain books that I could read on the street. When Astro Boy was playing, I was too...

      "Astro Boy" Love and the Meaning of Survival

      Gorgeous pictures, infectious stories, humorous plots, and charming supporting roles, all of which constitute the love movement of "Astro Boy".

      Although the story seems to be somewhat different from the comics I read when I was a child, it is a rare good film in terms of sensationalism, production, and the rhythm of the film. And it involves the elements of family affection and life and death. If you take children to watch it, you can make an educational film.

      The funny...

      Nostalgic and classic, I hope everyone will not hurt the image of Astro Boy, a good boy.

      Regarding the so-called false box office of the film, I hope you don't take it too seriously. It has nothing to do with the image of the movie Astro Boy. Please don't mislead. The movie should be watched only if it is worth watching, and don't focus on the box office. That has nothing to do with us. If people who go to the cinema don't like the image of the good boy Astro Boy, I believe he is a robot.
            I watched the movie on the computer, but it left a deeper impression on me than...

      Can childhood be renewed?

      Human emotions are very uncertain.
          For example, "Toy Story" and "Astro Boy" are showing in the cinema at the same time, I would choose the latter, and avoid the former.
          The same childhood memories, why is there such a big difference?

          The conclusion is that some things cannot be revisited, especially when the feeling of being left behind is too good, and the factors that induce it have changed over time.
          Childhood cannot be recalled. You may be able to go...

    From the audience’s response, it can be understood that "Astro Boy" is still unable to pinpoint the market position. It cannot have a wide children's base like Pleasant Goat, nor can it capture the national youth watching movies like " Transformers ". curiosity. The so-called classic comic adaptation does have a certain fan base, but fans are not so enthusiastic about the quality of the film. The film must be suitable for all ages to...
