I just returned home from the theater, eager to share the joy of Oudi with everyone~~
The plot of this film was triggered by the blue crystals and red crystals developed by Astro Boy’s father and Dr. Chasui,
because of the red crystals with a high risk factor. After being used by an arrogant war lunatic to cause the death of Toby (human Astro Boy), Toby's father went crazy and generally developed Astro Boy and used blue crystals as a source of life power.
The produced Toby obviously did not match his father's imagination. Toby gradually discovered that he was not a human but a robot with magical abilities, but his father gave him all the memories of Toby's life. His father's abandonment and his own mutation made Toby unable to find his place and chose to leave home. However, as soon as he walked out of the house, his blue crystal ability was discovered by the governor, a war lunatic, who was chased and beaten, and was shot down in the metropolis, a city floating in the sky.
Fortunately, Toby met many good friends after falling on the earth, became friends, and got a new name-Astro Boy. But there is always a secret in his heart-he is not a human, but a robot.
I experienced a lot with my friends on the earth, and finally when I was taken away by the bad governor, I was understood and recognized by my friends, and I got help from my friends in the future battles.
In the battle with the red crystal combat robot, in order to save everyone, Astro Boy rammed himself into the robot carrying the red crystal and died together (the blue crystal and the red crystal would be destroyed together).
Is Astro Boy dead? I will leave you with a little suspense~~~
Here, although the plot applies the old American hero saving the world, the image of Astro Boy has been portrayed more humanely. Now, a few fragments are still very moving.
Of course I don’t have to talk about the production, the three-dimensional effect is still very strong. It is very suitable for children to watch, with soft and colorful colors. In the image design, the original animation image is continued, and new characters are added. All kinds of robots are everywhere, vivid and interesting. The dialogue is humorous, and the action design also fully reflects the sense of humor. It is not boring for children, and the length of the movie is well controlled at about one and a half hours, so children can watch the full movie with peace of mind.
If you have watched the TV version of Astro Boy with Iron Arms, you may feel a little bit uncomfortable, but just as a movie with the protagonist called Astro Boy, it is still very good-looking.

Astro Boy quotes

  • Cora: So, where are you from, non-robot?

    Astro Boy: I'm from Metro City.

    Cora: [sarcastically] Metro City? Can't you believe it, guys? He's from Metro City and he's actually talking to me.

    Astro Boy: Are you feeling okay?

    Cora: Oh, my Gosh! He talked to me twice! This is definitely going in my diary as the most exciting day of my life!

  • [First lines]

    Narrator: Here we are, floating peacefully in the sky. Metro City, the jewel in the crown. Beautiful isn't it? But how did we get here?

    Narrator: [In flashinmation] A century ago, the founders of Metro City, seeing our world was changing, took Mount Sofia and lifted it out of the Earth and into the sky, to be an oasis, a floating paradise.

    Narrator: [In CGI] We don't really know what happens these days on the strange and mysterious surface we left behind. But life in Metro City is better than ever, thanks to...

    Narrator: [in flashinmation] "Our Friends The Robots". Robots do our shopping. They cook for us. They serve our meals. They take good care of us. They even do the really important things like, reminding us to call Mom on her birthday. Whether it's raising our children, building our buildings, taking care of our city or making sure we're all fit and healthy. For these guys, no job is too big... or too small. Plus,

    'Our Friends' Narrator: [in CGI] robots do a lot of things that, frankly, we just don't want to do anymore.

    [a robot cleaner gets crashed by a truck]

    Boy: [Points at the broken robot parts] Oh no!

    'Our Friends' Narrator: Don't worry folks, that street will get clean. The best and brightest of them get picked for the more exciting tasks. This lucky guy is starting the first day at his new job.

    [Car crashes offscreen and the researchers writes the results]

    'Our Friends' Narrator: aAnd it's all thanks to this man: Dr. Tenma, head of the Ministry of Science, and father of modern robotics. Thanks to him, and the incredible inventions he introduced...

    Student: [overlaps] Hey Toby, isn't that your dad?

    Boy: It sure is.

    Mr. Moustachio: [at Toby] Hush!

    'Our Friends' Narrator: Our Friends The Robots helps us. Thousands are created each day

    'Our Friends' Narrator: [in flash] and thousands are disposed of in the great unending cycle that sustains life, in our great city. Thanks for everything guys. May you rust in peace.

    [Narrators chuckles as Mr. Moustachio turns off the screen]
