Here is a quick synopsis:
In 2000 A.D. after the loss of his beloved son Toby in a car accident, Dr. Boyton built an android in his image. Dr. Boynton soon realized that this android, Astroboy, would not grow up to become a man; so he gave Astroboy to a circus.
I have heard of Astro Boy's sad story. But isn't it a wonder, it strikes so much resemblance to Steven Spielbergs initial story on A.I.? Both the boy in A.I. and Astroboy were created because certain scientist fathers lost their sons. And both were sent to the circus. Well minus the super powers on A.I. that is...

I enjoyed AI tremendously, but here's a contrast between the android in AI and astroboy. The AI character (I forgot his name) spends his whole life looking for the blue fairy to give him something that will make him human. Astroboy spends his life doing for others- risking his life for the saftey of humans. Who'd you rather have for a buddy? JWM
