Additional InformationA young robot with incredible powers, super strength, and the purest spirit on the planet discovers the joys of being human while embarking on a worldwide journey to discover his true potential in this animated update of Osamu Tezuka's classic anime story. Astro Boy (Freddie Highmore) is a young robot from futuristic Metro City. Created by a brilliant scientist named Tenma (Nicolas Cage), and powered by pure positive 'blue' energy that gives him such abilities as x-ray vision, inhuman speed, and flight, the wide-eyed android longs to find his true place in the world. He sets out on an epic journey that brings him face to face with an underworld army of robots and some of the strangest creatures ever to walk the Earth, and along the way learns to experience human feelings and emotions. Astro Boy's remarkable mission of discovery is suddenly cut short, however, when he learns that his friends and family back in Metro City are in grave danger. As Astro Boy prepares to face off against his greatest adversary in order to save everything he cares most about, he realizes that only through victory will he finally discover what it takes to be a hero.

ReviewsWashington Post - It's inspired by the beloved 1960s television cartoon of the same name, created by Japanese manga/anime icon Osamu Tezuka, Los Angeles Times - [Director David Bowers] nicely blends Eastern and Western animation styles for this CG outing, giving the movie a zippy, retro style that's nicely in tune with its Space Age origins, USA Today - The voice talent is snappy, and there are some funny one-liners from Nathan Lane, Bill Nighy, Kristen Bell and Donald Sutherland, Entertainment Weekly - When Astro becomes a robot gladiator, the movie turns happy demolition derby, and the virtuoso collisions just keep on coming, Box Office - The animation fuses Tokyo-pop bright cartoonishness to a sleek big studio style, Chicago Sun-Times - ASTRO BOY is better than most of its recent competitors
