Astro Boy Teaser Online

At last! There's more to see of Imagi's Astro Boy feature! Unfortunately, the designs look pretty watered down. I realize that Tezuka's designs are challenging for CG, but I wish that more of the original manga's graphic appeal had been retained. Oh, well... ultimately, it'll all pivot on the story anyway.

I'm probably just envious... I'd love to direct an Astro Boy movie!

Here's a still straight from Imagi's website. It looks like it's from the robot circus part of the manga - while that may sound like a sequence from A.I., Astroboy also fought fellow robots as the entertainment of a futuristic populace. I'll be curious to see how they handle that 2D-cheated 'hairdo' in 3D!
