        Jessica, there are a bunch of episodes of Astro Boy on Hulu. Here's a link:

        Hulu - Astro Boy

        I'm looking forward to the movie. Believe it or not, I actually have a pair of Astro Boy sneakers.

          Astro Boy and Gigantor started the whole Japanese animé/manga craze back in the 50s and 60s.

          Astro Boy...Gigantor...Kimba the White Lion...Marine Boy...Eighth Man...were really popular here in the States during the late 60s as well.

                    I'm glad they kept the famous and familiar scene of Astro Boy drilling through the ground and blasting outta the mountain.

                          Hopefully they keep it true to the source, Astro Boy may look like a cute robot but he is supposed to also be the deadliest weapon on earth.
