..."The animated cartoon has been updated for modern tastes, not only by switching from black and white to colour, but by removing scenes showing alcohol or tobacco and toning down the violence. "...
Boo! thats why the new Astro isnt as exciting... Well, I dont care about the alcohol and tobacco bit but where is the violence? (I mean its only robot violence anyway

ABC TV is bringing 25 new episodes of Astro Boy to a fresh generation, with this modern update on a cult-hit series!
Astro Boy is the exciting tale of a permanently youthful atomic-powered robot who must fight for justice and peace in a society that scorns his kind.
Living among a 'retro-futuristic' society populated by humans and robots, Astro Boy is the first robot with advanced intelligence and human-like emotions. He's clever, resourceful and has a strong sense of justice, always attempting to reason with his adversaries. Mankind's only hope of surviving an onslaught of wicked robots is a robot... the fearless, selfless, incorruptible champion known as Astro Boy.
Astro Boy has a rich history on television. In 1963, this robotic boy with the strength of 100,000 horses became the star of one of Japanese TV's first anime shows. The show was a smash hit and Astro Boy became the first Japanese show imported to the US. Astro Boy spread out to other countries in Europe, Latin America, Asia and Australia.
Production Details
Created by Tezuka Osamu. Astro Boy is produced by Sony Pictures Entertainment Japan and Tezuka Productions.
