Note I know hamegg is in the old show I forgot when writing sorry
honestly the 2009 movie is what made me grow so attached to the story of astro boy and made me want to watch the anime (same with speed racer's movie) but anyway yeah no one talks about this film nowadays it's not only heartwarming but it also tears your heart out. like i still remember even now how much it broke me when his dad didnt accept him because he didnt consider him to be his "real" son. like?? no that WAS his son and he was just being kid!! i get where the dad was coming from since he was grieving but idk. it really does hit a lot when he apologizes for not being a better toby. i adore the found family theme in this overall. great vid!
Thanks so much for watching my vid this movie is really great and I'm glad I was able to give my own take on this movie
@@Ramenretro To show before Astro Boy in theaters, if you had to show a trailer for Toy Story 3, which one is more convenient?
The teaser trailer that was shown before Up which was released in May 2009 or the "Losing You" trailer that premiered with the 3D Double Feature of Toy Story 1 and 2?
The teaser trailer shown before up
Fun fact: Hamegg was actually in the 1980s Astro Boy anime. So he’s not a new character he’s just uh..more big boned
Gotcha well he's still a pretty new character redesign and all u know
@@Ramenretro Yeah. Turned into a bigger boi
Facts
Another fact: (Though maybe you knew this?) "Hamegg" was also a hunter in the original "Jungle Emperor" (Kimba) anime series! I guess he was one of Tezuka's cast/players who, like others, appeared like a stock actor in Tezuka's "acting company", in more than one of his works! AND, even Astro Boy makes a brief appearance in a Jungle Emperor/Kimba episode!! 😃
Believe It or Not there was a Astro Boy sequel Movie planned, that was to include characters like Pluto, and my favorite Uran!!’
I very much agree that including toby in the marketing would have given kids who've never seen anything astro boy related a better insight on his origin.
I _remember_ being a kid and seeing commercials for this movie, and being confused as to why characters were calling him 'toby' instead of 'astro' at the beginning of the movie; had no idea he was a replacement for toby, and almost thought the real toby was a robot given how fast he did that test. but then he dies, which i guess is a cool, yet dark plot twist for someone with no astro boy knowledge to see.
You're here too?!
hamegg is a major character from the tezuka star system... i'm surprised a self-identified astro boy fan didn't recognize him?
I'm convinced Tobio still reincarnated into the robot. The only reason Astro boy (or new Toby) has a different personality is because Tenma was a busy man and never had the time to understand his son's interests besides intelligence
The movie was my introduction into the Astro Boy universe which I have come to love, and as a result, I hold fond memories of the movie and love it in spite of its flaws. I adore the 2003 version, and want to delve deeper into the older versions. I will say though, I can see why people have issues with the movie. While the movie is great to me, it still has flaws and changes to the story that for die hard fans, may be unforgivable flaws and changes. While the chances of happening are slim, I think it’d be super cool to have a reboot of some kind, whether it’s another anime show or a movie made with today’s technology (Edit: Especially now that anime has become a much bigger part of pop culture and not just a “nerdy/geeky” thing)
For me 2009 literally a nostalgia and great recap of a summary or interpretation of my fave anime robot boy
You should definitely talk about the 2003 anime. I've been in an Astro Boy mood and the 2003 anime adaptation has been on my mind lately.
To this day, the butt guns are one of my favorite jokes in this movie, if not my absolute favorite. I'm a sucker for weapons and powers that are guaranteed to never be expected, the kind that will, without fail, make your opponent stop and let out their preferred confused onomatopoeia. And, the best part? The movie didn't make that up- _the butt guns are actually part of the source material!!!_ 🤣
FINALLY! Someone else can see this film for the underrated masterpiece it is.
As always homie. Dropping that heat and bringing us something amazing. Love Astro Boy and I appreciate you Chief.
bro I remember checking this movie out from my library when I was little along with a bunch of other movies and I loved this one the best out of all of them
It stood out to me the most-
I'm actually watching the 1980 series right now, the 2003 one was so friggin good bruh
love this series
Hey nice yeah I’m watching the 2003 series too it’s really great
Glad to see this video return. You gave this movie (and the franchise) so much love, and now I can see this appreciation again. Keep up the fine work.
Thanks so much worth a re upload appreciate it
This movie was my introduction to astro boy and I loved it
This Movie deserved better this definitely got me interested in the Astro boy franchise, this film had a lot of heart in my opinion and if we ever get another Astro boy adaptations I hope it has the same heart as this one. Great analysis man👍🏿
Thanks so much appreciate it
@@Ramenretro no prob man😎
Dude so glad i found your channel. The video was EXCELLENT and im so glad someone is giving this movie its due love. And your comments about cage in ghost rider got you a new follower 😂
Thanks so much honestly love this video
Absolutely exquisite review and commentary, Ramen!! (I was working as a projectionist in a first run movie theater when the 2009 Astro Boy feature was released, but I didn't watch it; ....strange, I know....) I've known of Astro Boy since I was a kid in the 1970s, but I never knew how good this feature was until I saw your video here!! (I'm actually a big Tezuka fan, and my favorite Tezuka anime from the 1960s, I must admit, is really Jungle Emperor/ (Kimba), partly since I am most drawn to works about animal characters.....BUT, I know that Tetsuwan Atomu/Astro Boy is a very important, historical and ground-breaking work. It's also probably the most popular Tezuka anime. I found it so heartbreaking and poignant when I started reading the manga and found Astro Boy's origin in the dead son of Dr. Tenma.....but that is Tezuka! So many of his works are filled with powerfully emotional moments.....
Thank you again for making this video and letting the world know how good the 2009 feature was!!
No problem glad u liked this is one of my favorite movies
I had the honor of watching this back in 2009. Gotta say it was a pretty good adaptation of the OG series, with some changes here and there to his backstory and physical appearance. Although changing his appearance based on so called ‘research’ was a pretty dumb decision that doomed this film. Most likely fans were not impressed by the change of appearance and backstory when this film was released and when critics bashed this film they joined that band wagon. I honestly still love this film and I even watch the 2003 anime series. Both go pretty hand in hand even though they’re different continuity. I wanna see where the sequels would’ve gone. I bet Nicolas Cage would give us full supervillain dad vibes for movie 4 or 5. What a shame this movie has been all but forgotten.
As far as a live action version of Astro Boy, well the Japanese actually DID THAT before they made the first Anime (back in the late 1950's)! You might be able to find some of those TV shows on RUclips. They were quite 'Buck Rodger-ish.
Also I'm sure you're pronouncing some of the Japanese names wrong. For example Professor Ochanomizu, his name means "Tea Water", and so is pronounced as the two words for tea and water, or ocha no mizu. The 'no' seems to be silent so it is pronounced as O-CHA ME-ZOO.
As for Astro's dress...or lack of it... Well he DID appear in full clothing in the original anime from time to time, and more often in the original manga. I thought that most of the changes made were based on the CGI animation that was being used.
It's basically Alita Battle Angel with Atom in it. Also would've made more sense for the dad to be the main villain.
Great vid Ramen. Astro Boy was one of the first manga I've read. I saw trailers for the movie when I was a kid but I never got around to watching it.
While I found the review satisfactory, there's only one thing I don't agree with. You implied that Surf's Up was one of Sony's missteps. Honestly, I felt it was a great risk that Sony took. I mean it's a mockumentary about surfing and was more unique than Happy Feet was in the crazy era of penguins.
I forgot to add- that edit with the 2003 theme was nice 👌
Thanks so much I thought it fit the vibe ❤️
I wish they made 3D Ben 10 films adapting the games
I love this movie, I grew up with it and the 2003
Astro Boy was my childhood, especially 2003 and still to this day I am obsessed with that little robot. I've watch all 3 of the main series several times over, beaten the PS2 game and Omega Factor, and even have watched some of the spin offs shows like Go Astro Boy Go. I think the movie was a great spin on the traditional story. Here is hoping someday we get that Astro Boy Reboot.
Thanks for enjoying the video a reboot was announced on twitter not long ago
@@Ramenretro Yeah, It was teased back in 2015. But it seems now it will be a CGI show. Hope it is another great Astro series.
This movie actually had great DVD/Blu-Ray sales in Pennsylvania. At one point it was hard to find online and in person.
Subbed. I loved this movie and the animes. I sure hope Astro Boy makes a comeback one day.
Thank u so much means a lot for real one of my favorite movie retrospectives I love astro boy
@@Ramenretro I can tell with your neat intro :) I also dig the Perfect Spiderman Games video. Shattered Dimensions and Edge of Time are the bomb. I own both on ps3
Thanks so much I gotta make a sequal sometime next year
@@Ramenretro Im thinking about making a DBZ video soon and how I hated it as a 7 year old but enjoyed and understood it as a 10 year old. Then to continue to loved the franchise growning up.
This should have gotten a sequel
I played that 2004 PS2 game as a kid; don't remember much, but I recall it being fun and kinda epic.
I have very nostalgic memeories watching this film as a kid i remember when my teacher took away my zog astro boy movie happy meal toy from mcdonald’s and that cloudy with a chance of meatballs toy 🥲💔💔and also nice review dude ✨✨
My homie needs his zog toy thanks bro
This movie will always stick with me, I actually enjoyed it.
FYI Zog is in the 1963 anime just redesigned
When i watch that intro it just reminds me of all the good times we had making old skits😭🤣 i miss it
Same here bud
If you're wondering what a live action Astro Boy would be like, there was actually a live action 1959 Tokusatsu series. It's pretty wacky tho.
Also Hamegg has been a part of Astro Boy since the beginning.
That's sounds pretty cool I'll have to watch it thanks
If anything they make a live action Astro Boy movie. I think it should take place in the 1960s just the original show and have it be dark and very gritty and very bloody as well. And also have Astro Boy be a teenager just like the 2009 animated movie. And maybe make Astro Boy American as well.
I watched the 2009 movie when I was a pup and after rewatching it recently, I wanted to know more about AstroBoy, so I went back and watched the 2003 show, and now I'm craving more ahhh. I'm a bit sad about it... There was a teaser from 2015 about a reboot that just, never happened. And the show airing rn is a pre-school program just using the characters and setting but nothing about the story... It feels very disheartening because I want more of this character and to know what stories it has to tell.
Astro boy needs a comback for sure thr 2009 movie is a hidden gem for me
@@Ramenretro It's a staple of my childhood yeah x3
I find it fascinating seeing all of them back to back, because they feel like each was made at such an important time in animation history. From the first anime in black and white, to the first color adaptation, to the age when animation was being handled more seriously, and then the 2009 in CGI... If they make it again, I'd hope sony does handle it and does a style like in Spider-verse, Stylized cgi x 2D animation would be so amazing with this property~!
I remember this watching this in theaters
This movie was my whole childhood ngl
But you know what makes me mad?
The fact that tobio's dad couldn't accept astro as his son? Like bro???? 💀
If a robot who is based on your son can remember you as their father what more can you possibly ask for?
man i love this movie
It’s looks like a new nick jr show
As a AstroBoy fan its a ok movie
I think the spin could have been very interesting but I feel like it wasn’t really executed very well. I’m watching this video to see if it can change my opinion a bit.
You wouldn't tell if Tenma and Astro were caucasian or Asian which the argument continues in every anime today but that's besides the point.
The 2009 movie gave it alot of respect. I'm glad i got to watch it. And I hope we get the reboot anime it deserves like Dororo
12:29 wish it was like 3rd person
Great video. Though!
Thank u
A lot of ppl hate 2009 Astro Boy but I prefer that version more than the anime bc of how weird it is and the art style isn’t my favorite. And I just don’t like the characters. The 2009 isn’t perfect but I love it a lot.
I think this was a good movie. I loved it as a kid and it led me to really discover the character later. However, I don't think it's a good adaptation. All of the other series' major themes have focused on social conflict. It's tackled themes of war, oppression, discrimination, job automation, etc. And we can see these themes in the movie, but it's just ignored. Robot rebels are merely running gags, the surface is really bad, but Astro never has to fix it. Nothing more is done about the robot colliseun. And the focus is between Tenma and Astro's father/son relationship, but Tenma was never actually there for Astro in any series.
not gonna lie its really impressive how they made a whole movie based on one episode of an anime, as lazy as it initially seems
Tbh this movie had its good parts but it was still pretty bad..i was introduced to astro boys when it was in color. My fav adaptation of it is the 2009 series which more ppl should check out
I use to like the movie as I saw it in theaters back when it came out and now since I got older, the movie was meh
