Thought I was going to have to wait for the DVD release to be able to see Hollywood's treatment of ASTROBOY, but THANKS to Juliana - was able to see it today at Warner Village, Taipei -- one of the best places to see a movie, really.As an avid fan of the MANGA and most Japanese Animations, I was put off at first with the look and feel of the film, of Astroboy himself.... but in fairness, once over my initial trepidations, I actually ended up enjoying the film. And now, am sooo glad I was able to catch it in the big screen. with the voices of Freddy Highmore, Nicholas Cage, Donald Sutherland and Kristen Bell (love her, love her voice!)- this version came on its own and can definitely use a sequel.
Of course, am still going to wait for the DVD release and add it to my ASTROBOY collection. Always Great to find friends who shares the same hobbies...

Astro Boy was totally excellent, much more than I hoped for. The kids in the audience I was with were totally into it. I can't wait for the DVD too, and I'd also love a sequel.
Yup, this is an interesting take. What made it better for me is that someone nice sent me over an 8 inch Astroboy stuffed toy ;)
I'm glad you and Juliana got to see it and that you really enjoyed it. I like your outfit too. Very cute! :)
