It is an ASTROBOY for grown-ups, rather than a grown-up ASTROBOY. Pluto depicts realistic characters, no huge noses, etc. Atom & Uran are indistinguishable from human children; most of the robots are likewise highly human-like in appearance. But the story itself is what is so compelling.
BTW, grown up Astroboy:

That pic give the idea of incest which doesn't suit Tetsuwan Atom and considering Atom, he would not want a grow up body at all. He is a robot and having an adult body would be like becoming another robot.
Anyway, Uran in Pluto reminds of her 2003 version considering she can understand animals and help people around her without any sign of doubt.
Too bad that Pluto carried his order to terminate Atom right away without caring about Uran, but at least he don't destroyed Atom completely and seems he only zapped him somehow.

Personally, I went in a little worried that Pluto would be Astro Boy: Darker N' Edgier. But it turned out to be Darker and Edgier done right with good depth. It is very different, but it's fun to see the similarities, and see Atom react to more modern day things. Also, every villain is given understandable motives EXCEPT (I'm afraid i don't know how to do spoiler tags, but I'll try click for spoiler"Not-George Bush". Also, I feel Uran isn't very faithful to the 80s Uran. It also brings up a lot of problems that would come from robots wanting to be human. And it's epic. I mean REALLY epic. If nothing else, at least pick up the first volume, there's a stand alone story in there about North No. 2 that's really worth the read.
Back to the movie, honestly, I believe there is no possible way, even without censorship restrictions, a Pluto movie can be made that even slightly does the original justice. It would have to be cut down to a Greatest Robots in the World multi fight with a little mystery. In America, I doubt it would be able to reach it's older audience with 3D animation. I feel a japanese made OVA would be the best possible adaption, and even then I have my worries.
While we're talking about this, anyone else find it interesting that only in the manga Epsilon isn't a complete goody two shoes?
