Ok...in the 1984 series, what is it about Astro's legs that our little friend didn't want people to know.

BTW, in the USA, Tezuka's passing barely rated Of course, he wasn't Walt Disney. Boy they played up Walt's death as if he was some Great man. Sorry for the personal opinion but two sleezy tourist traps, a life of self-megalomania and pathetic copy cat animations that lack orriginal thin...
