Review

These five color episodes represent the beginning of the 1980 remake, The New Adventures of Astro Boy. Osamu Tezuka wrote many of the scripts, but the members of the original crew had advanced in their careers, and new directors had to be found. The animation in the original Astro Boy was scarcely more advanced than Crusader Rabbit, but the show had an ingenuous charm. The color version is slightly more animated, but the flat timing and stodgy dub rob the dramatic scenes of their punch and the comic moments of their humor. Both series begin with Dr. Boynton creating a miniature robot to replace the son he lost in a car wreck, but they tell the story very differently. Although hard-core Tezuka fans will want both versions, the earlier black-and-white series remains the definitive Astro Boy. Unrated: Suitable for ages 6 and up; minor cartoon violence. --Charles Solomon
