Astro Boy - 2009

So some movies you see and you are really blown away by the scenery and a bit by the story, but when you've finished watching it, you ask yourself what you took away.

I watched Astro Boy and apart from it moving REALLY FAST at the beginning, it was art-ful and moving and tragic at times. My heart went out to the orphaned characters as well as Astro Boy AND his father. There was a lot of sadness and desperation - but with that came joyful achievement and great personal satisfaction.

Astro Boy is an Anime classic - and I feel this movie did well by staying true to the original, but maybe fell a little short in "converting" it for Western audiences. All in all, a great movie for older kids and adults who like animation.
