Need help locating the pilot trailer for 03

[jennytablina]

I remember a few years back someone uploaded a few Astro Boy videos and linked them here... and one video was a curious japanese promo trailer thing for the 2003 series with different animation, character design and voices.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to find this video?

Here is the video page. At the bottom are the different formats and qualities of the trailer.

Here is the Japanese version, if anyone has trouble viewing the translated page:

I think these all go to the 1st tab on the left column. the preview is on the 4th from the top tab.

Thanks a ton Jeffbert!

Writing up a cartoon review sort of site and though this was quite an interesting tidbit to bring up. Surprised how much stuff is in the trailer considering none of that animation makes the final cut (bar poses and the intial bit of Astro being reawakened)

I only wish I could download the trailer.

Net Transport 2 is good for downloading files that use special protocols.

Thank you so very much!

Those sites are all gone now, well actually they are there, but only to redirect our browsers to http://tezukaosamu.net, which, to date, has only a tiny fraction of the information in Japanese, and next to nothing in other languages. Fortunately, I did download the video trailers just a few days before their demise.
