Astro Boy 1960 - Episode 62 - Attack From Space (3/3)

I love how they replace how the boy will DIE since the bomb is his true self, with some nonsensical "They'll rebuild me and I'll never see you again." Yay censorship!

I hope that asteroid was still far out enough so that the pieces would fly out around the planet instead of raining down billions of burning rocks and frying the atmosphere.

GIANT ANTS?! SURE WHY NOT! XD

3 episodes were combined into a theatrical movie called "Mighty Atom: The Brave in Space". They were "The Phantom Space Ship", "The Moon Monsters" and "Attack From Space". Colored animation was obviously possible in theaters and had been done for every feature-length animations since Snow White started it all in the 30's. That's why The Moon Monsters was also in color on the box set.

@sygo7g u mean Walt Disney he's the guy that taught them that

[abigailg93]

I totally love this episode, but half of the boys look like little girls. Why is that?

[TheGeekplayer]

@abigailg93 the creator of astro boy wanted him to be a girl does the answer your question

[UTAU53Yui]

@abigailg93 Because Japan isn't embarassed about bringing out the cuteness in little boys, much of which us obese Americans brand as feminine and gay. They have eyelashes because, hey, normal little boys all over the world have long eyelashes. Girly Astro is awesome. His voice is even higher pitched in the original.

[abigailg93]

@UTAU53Yui Hey, I was just asking why. I wasn't trying to be mean about Astro or anything.

[UTAU53Yui]

@abigailg93 Sorry, I wasn't either, I just sorta broke into a rant >.>

And the closing credits? Maybe it be it was a promotional episode? It's possible they were experimenting with color, as they did in full with the other episode, which  however in the United States was aired in black & white.

[Dragonrider1227]

If this is a black and white show, what's with the red and blue in the background?

[WingedMushroomOfDoom]

They only did it for this one episode, but I'm not sure why. It adds to the effect though.
