Astro Boy 2: The Sequel

[Androids101]

This might shed some light on the "Pluto film":

Also, I don' think that they should bring back all the characters in the original series, otherwise you'd get a copy. New characters is a must. But yes, I agree that the '09 film is way too different.

Atlas and Epsilon should be brought back. Nora should be brought back too if its possible, there is already Orrin.

@Alittleacorn

No offence, but why do you think of the Blue Knight as a villain :confused After all, he protects hundreds of robots. I see him as a friend with different views when compared to Astro.

@Android10
Oh no no I don't mean a bad villain just someone stirring up a war ^_^

@Dr. Jerk, yeah I saw it on the Astro Boy blog. I'm sort of excited but not completely...I feel ashamed not liking the Pluto manga much >.< even though the story kick butt awesome.

Woooo HOOOO!!!
(Picture Epsilon flying in gleeful loop-dee-loops!)

It's HAPPY DANCE TIME!!

Trust me, everybody -- the Pluto movie could bring Astro back in a BIG way! It's not over-manipulated and contrived for marketing toys and Happy Meals, but someone's sincere desire to tell the story in a different way. And because it's set in Tokyo, Japan (not "Metro City") it's not as likely to become over-Americanized, too.

I'm going to be watching for more on this -- I had a feeling that would end up as a film.

@Acorn -- don't worry, our traditional, dear, spikey-haired friend will be back soon -- I just KNOW it!! !

I just hope this film doesn't end up being "Americanized" like the film. If that happens, it'll practically ruin Astro Boy .

The one character I'd most love to see introduced in a sequel is Skunk. Superman always has his Lex Luthor. Astro needs his Skunk.

Zoran and Skunk are easily one of the most recurring characters (apart from Astro, of course). And the character Grudon bears a strong resemblance to Hamegg in the '03 series, if he is, he might get the role too.

I'd like to see him too. In the '80s and '03 Astro tv series skunk was a little bit of a problem, here and there, but I can't see him as a big villain in a movie. If it was Atlas, Pluto, or the Blue Knight, those would be some challenging villains to beat.

Why does everyone think the Blue Knight is a villian :shifty He protected hundreds of robots from destruction. He also fought alongside astro in many occasions.

[Astronomical girl]

his mindset is very illogical even on a robotic scale . Shadow should have as well as muscle put in some brains becuase it gets very annoying being the only sane and or intelligent one in the bunch

[Androids101]

Shadow knows that the person that created him isn't sane either .
