Watch: Astro Boy Trailer

The well-loved Japanese manga and tv program Astro Boy has been made into a CGI movie. It’s just too good to know that one of my favorite animated hero isn’t forgotten at all.

Astro Boy first appeared on Japanese comics in 1952, created by Osamu Tezuka. From then on, it evolved into television, computer games, and now the movies.

This new movie features celebrity voices such as those of Nicolas Cage, Donald Sutherland, Nathan Lane, and Freddie Highmore. Released by Sony Pictures, Astro Boy will hit theaters beginning October 23, 2009.
