Western animation could never achieve what Osamu Tezuka did
To be fair, Japan failed too.
Not as hard, but they still failed.
Say that to the new Astro Boy coming out
Pluto doesn't count.
because it's good?
Because it's not adapting Tezuka's work. That's like saying an adaptation of Ultimate Spiderman is the same as making a show based on Ditko's work.
If Japan can get a second chance, then we can give it to the West as well.
>Saw the announcement 6 or 7 years ago
>No word since
I didn't want it to die. The teaser was so promising.
Not really. At least in animation Tezuka liked experimental stuff. Imagine how proud he would be of the existance of experimental looking series like sonny boy or the existance of indie anime.
Good example of this film's weak quality is how much it failed at having a memorable new villain and a memorable new female lead.
I want to pump and dump her so bad
I wear that's the critic guy from Ratatouille.
You'd think the writers would have these guys contribute to the final battle in some way, but no. Other than giving the name Astro to the robot Tobio, these guys are pointless. They might as well disappear from the film after their intro scene.
and the way they give him the name is so unimaginative. They are like "Tobio is not much of a name, you need something better", they give suggestions, and the red robot then comes up with Astro for no reason.
I liked the fridge.
Voiced by the director
I Love that you can tell this is the sharktalegay.
Holy schizo
I thought he was gone. Haven't seen him in a while
Nailed it
>watch Zathura with them
Good suggestion
Dustin Putman is an underrated reviewer
Can't believe it's almost 2024 and Nostalgia Critic hasn't reviewed this yet. It's weird because he has seen it (confirmed in his review of live action Speed Racer)
I liked it
same
>Verification not required.
ironic
God I need to breed her so bad
Sometimes it's obvious that this was made by the studio behind TMNT 2007
>Adapt Astro Boy's origin story for western audiences
>Radically transform Hamegg into Hamburger
What were they thinking?
Another IP with source material that's impossible to frick up no matter how many times you retell it, unless you're a literal fricking moron. Shit like this is actually a literal moron test.
>you fricked it up?
>congratulations you're a confirmed moron
>everybody laugh and point
>now GTFO moron
Even if the movie wasn't shit, I don't know that people in the west have any real affinity for Astro Boy. People barely remember Speed Racer because the cartoon was cheaply made and they talk funny, Astro Boy just seems like a relic of the past that's only enjoyed by actual boomers
>the cartoon was cheaply made
Not for 1967 it wasn't.
it's American AF you are not getting a masterpiece from that alone.
yeah it may be a bit soulless
but i like to ship astro with those commie robots
You should watch better films, like pic related.
It had Nicolas Cage though
So did The Ant Bully before.
All the soul went into the gba videogame.
I don't get why the filmmakers had Astro be installed with all of Tobio's memories. Nothing comes out of that decision. It's a pointless change from the source material. There was potential to do psychologically interesting stuff with it, but the writers never go there.
Because the idea of a "replacement son" was probably considered too much for stupid american children to process.
>"I'm not fighting"/"I'm not doing this"
>proceeds to destroy every single opponent afterwards
>realizes that he cannot escape by flying because of a force shield, yet doesn't try any alternatives like burrowing underground (he digged through a mountain in a previous scene) or smashing through a wall
Great writing
?si=uUu6XOQ9qPMpX5MV
and why didn't the force shield work with the robot trio at 4:11?
I'll never forgive them for what they did to Hamegg.
Watch Pluto it's fricking amazing and the complete opposite.
>no Uran
Absolutely soulless
