New at iVillage -”Astro Boy” I Think they Went Too Far!
Okay, I will admit, I am the first one to be sucked in by cool CG animation and a star-studded cast. Astro Boy definitely fit that bill, so I took my 5- and 7-year-olds to see it on opening day. Maybe I give stars too much credit, assuming they can decipher between a well-written kids’ flick and something that may send inquisitive youngsters to therapy. MORE
If you have an opinion, please chime in on iVillage!!!

Oh ho, you should have seen the original. I don’t know if Dr. Tenma was in this movie, but in the anime, he builds Astro to replace his son and then promptly sells him to a circus because Astro could never…well, replace his son. In fact, that’s one reason I didn’t go see this movie – I was uncertain as to how much of the original plot they kept.
