Dem Trailers: Astro Boy

UPDATE: Seem like Hulu pulled the trailer. Here’s the version from Trailer Addict.

Astro Boy is not a mainstream fictional character around this part of the world but in Japan he’s like the Mickey Mouse of Japanese anime. So later this year, Osamu Tezuka’s creation will be getting his proper introduction to the Americas as this little animated film is being released from the director of the CG TMNT film & bringing some pretty good voice talent along for the ride including Nic Cage. This trailer looks fun but not sure if this creation from 1952 is gonna play for a 2009 audience as it looks like they’ve kept to the original specs so far. I’m sure the fan boys will love it & hopefully it’ll crack that shell for mainstream audiences to truly enjoy.
