Astroboy Animated Opening Titles (circa 1960)

[michigandon]

That train at :50 looks a lot like the first generation Shinkansen that would've been going into service right about the time this came out.

That's a classic!! Bith the original Japanese & English version (with the original Japanese score!) Perish the though if 4Kids entertainment gets the rights for Astro Boy! (Screams & smack himself upside the head for thinking that horrid thought)

[mattiathekaiju]

don't worry this is too old for 4kids.

Can anyone translate the lyrics from this intro?

[OzeNationalPark]

Passing through the sky, la la la Far off in the stars

Go, Atom (Astro), To the limit of your jets!

His heart is kind, la la la He's a child of science

He has 100,000 horsepower  Mighty Atom (Astro Boy)

Listen carefully, la la la Be amazed!

That's Atom (Astro) Don't be unprepared

His heart is just, la la la He's a child of science

He has seven powers Mighty Atom (Astro Boy)

[jooshiscrazy]

It's "Be amazed by his power!"

Tezuka began producing the series {through "Mushi Productions"} in late 1962, and it first premiered on Japanese TV in January 1963. It was Don Rockwell who wrote the English lyrics for the American version that premiered on local TV stations that September...

Even then, in black and white, Astroboy had groundbreaking animation compared to his contemporaries at the time.
