In summer 2006, the Hong Kong animation firm Imagi Animation Studios picked up the property as part of a three picture deal with Warner Brothers that also included TMNT (2007). Colin Brady was attached to direct. When Summit Entertainment took over the distribution rights in 2008, Brady had been replaced as director by David Bowers. See more »

Astroboy's hair-spikes change position from left to right and vice versa throughout the whole movie.
But then, this is in keeping with the spirit of the original TV series, so it not quite a mistake. See more »
After the end credits, a card stating "When in Hong Kong, visit Imagi Studios" The art is the same classic style as the opening, with a tram touring a back lot. This is much like what Universal studios did at the end of their films. See more »
This was a really good movie. I really enjoyed this. Granted I'm not a fan of Astro Boy, but I still enjoyed this film. The voice actors delivered great performances. Nathan Lane was brilliant as Ham Egg, as was Kristen Bell as Cora. Freddie Highmore did great as Astro, and as much as everyone groans whenever Nicolas Cage is mentioned, he did a wonderful job as Dr. Tenma. The action in this film was great. I was never bored during the film. It had a lot of great stuff, and some funny moments. It's a great animated film that delivers on action, great performances and awesome sequences. I had a great time with Astro Boy. I hope it does for you too.
