The Astro Boy movie itself, like its protagonist, was destined to end in tragedy. Why? It's like a fateful arrangement. I don't know if the producer is a pure adaptation or an effort to reform, where exactly is this animated film positioned? Use the worldview of the 1970s to infect the children born in the 1990s or 2000s? Using modern technology to create a 70s classic? Neither succeeded, so it was doomed to tragedy.
The Astro Boy in the movie, born as a replacement for humans, was too perfect to be abandoned. I want to live an ordinary life, but I can't tell the truth that I am a robot. Possessing infinite energy and being hunted down by people with evil intentions, in the end, the tragedy ends with the enemy. In fact, I personally think that the end of the movie is also a happy ending (it is best to match the song performed by Yu Quan live). But the director insisted that Astro Boy's tragedy be brought to the end, reluctantly resurrected, and inexplicably thrown into a new battle, which is estimated to be a hand and foot to make a sequel.
In addition, in order to better cater to the Chinese market, the dubbing of the Mandarin version has added many domestic online catchphrases, which gave me the illusion of "Is it done by a certain subtitle group?"
Therefore, this Disney, DreamWorks-style animation masterpiece, except for the generous animation production, has almost no bright spots. Classics cannot be copied, they can only exist in people's hearts.
