to cope without you.

Hand it over.

It appears, I don't have it!

Tenma!

Tenma, open this!

Open that door!

Oh, please.

I said, open that door!

Never!

- Now!

Lost.

If you want something done right,

you gotta do it yourself.

Wow! What...

what are you doing?

You may not be Toby...

...but you're still my son.

Dad.

Now, fly.

Fly!

No!

No!

Arrest them immediately.

I want them shot for treason.

We're gonna have to use the Peacemaker

to get the blue core back.

Don't use the red core.

The negative energy,

we can't know how it will behave.

After many conflicts between

positive and negative energy...

...the negative always prevails.

Look at Human history.

Look at me.

My point, excat!

Turn this thing on.

- I won't.

I have 50 reporters

waiting outside!

Turn it on.

- You don't understand the technology!

Technology?

Who cares about technology?

Who understands technology?

It's a robot,

it will do what I say.

Red core loaded.

You ready to do as you're told?

You ready to rock and roll?

Sir?

Destroy the boy robot,

bring back the blue core.

What are you? Deaf?

I told you to destroy

the boy robot...

And bring back the blue core.

Everybody out!

Now!

Move it!

Uh, sorry, guys...

...I'm getting word that President Stone

may be slightly delayed.

Is this thing on?

What? Where are you going?

Come back!

- Monster, stand down!

By order of President Stone.

This is the life, buddy.

Smooth sail.

Sorry, guys.

- Oh, no!

It's that crazy flying kid again!

- I'm a robot, just like you.

What are you doing

all the way out here?

We got tried of the rat-race.

We dropped out.

We're trying to live more naturally,

you know, like real birds.

What's that?

- You know what humans are like!

New Year's? 4th of July?

Mother's Day?

We gotta do something!

- What? Help the humans?

We are robots.

It's not our problem.

Yeah, forget about them.

What ever they did for us?

He's right.

According to the laws of robotics,

we gotta go help.

A Squeezy bottle's gotta do,

what a Squeezy bottle's gotta do.

Where you are?

Where are you, robot boy?

Oh, no!

There you are.

What?

But...

Huh, cool!

That has to be Astro.

I don't care if he's a robot.

I miss him.

- I hear ya.

When the going gets tough,

smart people take a hike.

Bye-bye, kids.

What do you want?

An apology?

Nope, just the car.

- I would love oblige you, but...

Come on, I love you, guys.

Please.

Freaking robots!

Gotcha!

The city elected me!

I own it.

It's mine!

Hey! I'm voting for

the other guy!

What?

Thank you.

Anytime you need me.

What?

I got machine guns... in my butt?

You gotta be kidding me.

Batter up!

Homerun!

Astro?

- Cora!

Thanks, guys.

Hey, who's driving?

Trash can, faster!

Move over!

Are we going up?

- No, the city is falling down.

Cora, I've to take care of this.

- Astro, no.

Astro!

Look.

Fighting comrades, to arms!

I've got three arms.

Where is he?

Is he really be okay?

- I hope so.

Hey, ugly!

Down here.

We demand immediately that

you cease oppressing...

...our Comrade Astro.

We may not be allowed

to harm humans...

...but there's nothing that say...

...we can't do some

serious damage to a monster.

Aye, comrades?

Oh, look over there.

Where are you, robot boy?

I know you're still alive.

You can't hide from...

That all you got?

Come here!

The party's over, kid.

Blue core obtained.

Toby!

Dad.

I don't understand.

Why didn't it absorb me?

Because it can't.

If the red and blue core

come together, well...

...you both die.

Come on, son,

we need to get far away.

Where are you, Astro?

Where is your robot friend?

Where is he?

I got an election to win.

And I want that core.

Where is he hiding?

Tell me!

You hear me?

Where is he?

We have to go.

- This is it.

This is what I was created for.

This... is my destiny.

Toby, now!

I'm sorry,

but this is who I am.

Onward and upward...

...Dad.

No!

Huh, you're back for more?

Wait, wait!

No-no... wait, wait!

No!

My son.

- Dad.

Get out of me.

No!

Get out!

Get us out of here.

- I'm trying.

No! No!

Oh, nuts!

Son.

Guards, seize this girl immediately!

She kicked me.

She kept kicking me.

President Stone, sir.

You're under arrest.

No, you can't do this to me.

I got an election to win.

Astro?

- Astro?

Astro?

- Astro?

Astro!

Oh, no!

Oh, Astro.

Who was he?

- That robot saved the Metro city.

Why would he care?

Because that robot

had more humanity...

...than most of us.

Who are you?

- I'm a friend of his.

From the surface.

- You're from the surface?

Can you fix him?

- No. I'm afraid, no.

His blue core was unique.

Now it's died with him.

- It's not fair.

All he ever did was help people.

Not just people.

Astro brought Zog

back to life.

How?

- The blue stuff.

Do... do you have any of that

blue stuff left?

Do you think, you could spare

some for our friend here?

Dad!

Cora!

What happened?

Is the Peacekeeper gone?

Yes.

But... How am I still...

Thank you, Zog.

- No big deal.

Astro...

I think you finally found

your place in the world.

You are a hero.

A robot with the heart of a lion.

And everyone finally knows it.

I love happy endings.

Would you?

- Sure.

Thanks.

Cora?

Cora!

- Cora!

Mom? Dad?

- Where have you been, sweetie?

We've searched high and low for you.

- Really?

Viva la robot revolution!

It's looks-like all the

interesting stuff's over.

How typical! Just typical.

- Thanks for your help, guys.

Oh, it was nothing.

- Yeah, when you think about it, Sparxy.

It really was nothing.

Are you trying to upset me?

Will you be wanting the car, sir?

I don't want you to

call me "Sir" anymore, Orrin.

In fact, take the day off.

Go on and enjoy yourself

with the robot ladies.

Thank you, Dr. Tenma.

Call me Bill.

I'm so freaked right now.

Everybody, take cover!

We're under an alien attack!

Wait! Are you sure

you're ready for this, Astro?

I was made ready!

Osamu Tezuka

Osamu Tezuka (Japanese: 手塚 治虫, born 手塚 治, Hepburn: Tezuka Osamu, (1928-11-03)3 November 1928 – 9 February 1989) was a Japanese manga artist, cartoonist, animator, and film producer. Born in Osaka Prefecture, his prolific output, pioneering techniques, and innovative redefinitions of genres earned him such titles as "the father of manga", "the godfather of manga" and "the god of manga." Additionally, he is often considered the Japanese equivalent to Walt Disney, who served as a major inspiration during Tezuka's formative years.Tezuka began what was known as the manga revolution in Japan with his New Treasure Island published in 1947. His legendary output would spawn some of the most influential, successful, and well received manga series including Astro Boy, Kimba the White Lion, Black Jack, and Phoenix, all of which won several awards. Tezuka died of stomach cancer in 1989. His death had an immediate impact on the Japanese public and other cartoonists. A museum was constructed in Takarazuka dedicated to his memory and life works, and Tezuka received many posthumous awards. Several animations were in production at the time of his death along with the final chapters of Phoenix, which were never released. more…
