It was always for kids, so the only ones griping about this would have to be 40 and 50 year olds that grew up when it was first out.

Props to them for keeping in touch with the original art style. I wasn't sold on this movie at first, but now it looks like it'll be a good movie.

@ Bounce for the Ounce

Allow me clarify--I meant the TRAILER looked like a kiddie version of the Iron Man trailer...And I'd say the two trailers are comparable. If you analyze both trailers, you'll note a lot of vast similarities. It's like watching an animated version of the Iron Man movie trailer.

In any case, I'll admit I'm not as familiar with Astro Boy as I am with Marvel properties, but I do respect Tezuka's work, being a fan of the Phoenix stories. I think he's a brilliant writer, and in those stories, does a successful job of ironically blending the innocence of his artwork with the maturity of his writing. I'm assuming Astro Boy must be of a similar style. If so, let's hope the filmmakers can do Tezuka's writing justice
