ASTRO BOY:
There we are,
floating peacefully in the sky.
Metro City, the jewel in the crown.
Beautiful, isn't it?
But how did we get here?
A century ago,
...seeing our world was changing...
...took Mount and lifted it out of the Earth
and into the sky.
...a floating paradise.
We don't really know
...on the strange and mysterious surface
we left behind.
But life in Metro City
is better than ever.
Thanks to our friends,
the Robots.
Robots do our shopping.
They cook for us.
They serve our meals.
They take good care of us.
They even do the really
important things like...
...reminding us to call Momma
on her birthday.
What else, raising our children,
building our buildings...
...taking care of our city...
...or making sure
we were all fit and healthy.
For these guys... no job is too big.
Or too small.
First, Robots do a all of things
that frankly,
We didn't just don't wanted
to do anymore.
Oh, no!
No worries, folks.
That street will get cleaned.
The best and brightest are then
get picked for the more exciting tasks.
This lucky guy is starting
his first day at his new job.
And it's all thanks to this man.
Dr. Tenma, head of the Ministry of Science
and father of Modern Robotics.
Thanks to him and
the incredible innovations...
Hey, Toby, isn't that your dad?
- It sure is.
Hush!
Our friends the Robots helps us.
Thousands are created every day...
...and thousands are disposed of...
...in the great and
...substains life in our great city.
Thanks for everything, guys.
May you rust in peace!
Okay, students.
Ready for our pop quiz?
What?
- No!
Begin!
I'm so busted!
Yes, Toby?
Is there a problem?
- There's no problem.
I'm just finished and I'd like to leave.
- Finished?
The rocket science
wasn't excatly rocket science.
Well, I don't suppose there's much
point in you staying.
Good luck, guys.
Just like his father.
Hello, Master Toby!
Did you have a good day?
- The best, Orrin.
Thank you, Master Toby.
Very good throw.
Hello, son.
- Hello, sir.
How was school?
- Oh, great!
Mr. Pistachio dropped a
pop quiz on us but...
...I'm pretty sure,
I got a 100 %.
That's good, son.
Very good.
But I don't want you
to become complacent.
It's important to keep studying.
Onward and upward, Toby!
Sure, Dad.
I'm very sad, I'd take you that
symposium on quantum mechanics...
But I'm afraid, I'd have to take
a rain check again.
You... you promised!
I'm sorry, Toby,
but it's unavoidable.
President Stone's work for
the unveiling of the "Peacekeeper".
"The Peacekeeper"?
- I never kid.
Goodbye, son.
"The Peacekeeper", huh?
Hey, Orrin, change of plan.
Take me to
the Ministry of Science.
I'm sorry,
Master Toby...
...but you father gave me
strict instructions to...
Stop it!
What are you doing back there?
Hey! Hey!
Next stop, Ministry of Science!
Are you ready to
blow me way today, Tenma?
Yes, yes...
Metaphorically speaking.
- Oh, that's the spirit.
Dr. Elefun is an esteem colleague
of mine, Mr. President.
He may be resistant to
having his discoveries used...
...for military purposes.
Oh, you leave Dr. Elefun to me.
Dad!
Hold it!
- Hold it!
What are you doing here?
I gave Orrin
specific instructions to...
I wanted to see the demonstration.
You're always talking
about "The Peacemaker"...
Really, Toby?
- Your boy?
Yes, sir.
- Well, let him tag along.
Releasing the potential threat.
It will be good for him.
Good education.
Yes, sir.
So you are interested
in robots, son?
Robot weapons?
- Absolutely.
Though, I'm sure you'll agree...
...the latest D-Class Interceptor
targeting system...
...is quite old fashioned.
Take this boy to a safe place
and keep him there.
What? Dad!
- I think for the best, Toby.
But you said,
I could see the Peacekeeper!
You still can...
...on tonight's news,
like everybody else.
Ladies and gentlemen...
...allow me to present...
Blue core energy!
Blue core energy!
A new self-sustaining power source.
Much stronger than
nuclear energy...
...and infinitely cleaner.
The raw materials came from space.
A fragment of a star.
Millions of light years away,
but no longer even exists.
This is now
all that's left of it.
Properly harnessed,
this small sphere...
...could transform
not only Metro City...
...but life of those
on the surface as well.
Imagine cleaning Earth's water...
Imagine bringing back the forests.
Imagine overcoming the effects of
centuries of pollution.
I know, he's bit of a dreamer,
...but he's a brilliant scientist.
He's a dangerous idiot
who happens to have a high IQ.
There's no such thing
as a free lunch.
When we extract the depositive
blue energy from the fragment...
...we'll be left with this
highly unstable by product...
...negative red energy!
Oh, I like that one.
Women voters are partial
to the colour red, you know?
Until we discover,
What?
What are you doing?
Stop!
Keep the cores apart
or you will kill us all!
Do as he says.
This is outrageous!
What are you intending
to do with it?
I'm gonna give the people of the city
a reason to re-elect me.
How?
There's only one way you can, doctor.
I'm gonna kick some butt.
This is so unfair.
Now cool off, hot shot.
Please don't leave me in here, sir.
I can't stand small places
anywhere but here.
Easy, kid!
You're like 13 yrs old.
It's time, you grew backbone.
Thanks for the life lesson...
...and thank you for this!
As one friend to another,
don't do this, Tenma.
Oh, come on, Elefun.
You know it as well as I do,
without military funding...
...all of our research,
...including yours,
would grind to a halt!
Start it up!
I told, President Stone...
You gotta bring up the big guns!
I've heard enough for Toby!
Now, the blue core.
Hold on!
This blue core
is all sweetness and light, right?
Like, "Save the Dolphins"
and "Give Peace A Chance"?
It's pure positive energy.
Call me a dreamer,
but...
...I think we'll get a bit more
bank rob using the red one.
Oh, you're not joking!
Sir, we're not putting something
that dangerous...
...into something
that dangerous.
Listen, Tenma!
I need my robot to be fighter
and not a lover!
Load the red one.
- I won't.
Hm, then I'll do it.
Move over, sweetheart!
- Hey!
No!
It's like a videogame!
Core loaded.
Piece of cake!
Activate weapon drones!
I hate this job!
Wow!
I've been checking the classifieds.
- I hear you.
He's using that drone
against the other drones.
How could that be possible?
It's called adaptive technology.
You can absorb and control anything.
Well, I may have
