Little Astro Boy (2014 Animated Series)

[Shiyonasan]

Glad to see that this finally has a date!

Looks like we'll have something to talk about in the Skype meeting next Saturday.

I found scripts for small auditions that were requested two months ago. Since these are for auditions, not all lines are necessarily going to be in the show, though we can see a race theme going on.

Join our subscriber list to make sure you don't miss out on any upcoming auditions!

Hennie Britton at Azur Studios is looking for voice over talent for the animated series Robot Atom. This is a Cartoon Series of 8 episodes. The voices can be cartoony, the target age is Pre Schoolers. The voice sample doesn't have to be Studio Quality, iPhone quality is acceptable.

SEND-IN AUDITION DUE FRIDAY JANUARY 24. If chosen call backs will be on Monday Jan 27 Afternoon/Evening.

Please include your name, phone number and email with mp3.

**You must be local Vancouver talent.

See sides below. GOOD LUCK!!!

All sorts of ideas

=================================================================
Script:

My name is Atom and I am a robot, yo!
My steps are also… Cool! Cool! Cool! Spinning cool, yo!
That’s so cool.

Atom’s gonna become a cool driver!
I think you pressed the eject button.
Something heavy?

What? Speed Joe is not leading the race?

What’s wrong, Tac?

I’ll get some for you right away.

Ham Egg

Age: 35 – 40
A Magician, highly stressed - Energetic

It’s calling me. The world is calling me.

Professor Flau. Have the world’s fastest racing car in the world ready for me right away.

I, Ham Egg, will have that one year supply of snacks to myself!
You’re so stingy.

[speaking quickly]
This weekend’s race is the main event. It’ll be a tough race on a two hundred kilometer course, but the championship prize is one year’s worth of snacks!

But I’d worry with only Tac taking part in the race. If only we had a driver.

There are no shortcuts to dieting! You’ve gotta train! Train hard!
Jump! Bounce! Stumble!
Run! Skip! Get thrown!
Let the waterfall pour on you as you meditate.
Climb up! Climb down! Climb up! Climb down! Get dizzy!
Train in the morning. Train during the day. Train at night. Train in the morning. Train during the day. Train at night.
Train at sharp movements of the driving wheel. Train so you can turn those corners smoothly.

Tac
Gender: Boy (Girl doing his Voice)
Age: 10 – 12
Dreamer but a Racer
Everything is a mission and he loves food
Can be cartoony
Target group Pre Schoolers

=================================================================
Script:

I’m Tac. I love snacks, yo!
Snacks?! One year of snacks?! I’m gonna take part in that race!
I’m gonna participate in the race, too!
I can do it if given the chance! I wanna eat one year worth of snacks!
I’m letting someone ride me for the first time, so it tickles. I’m sure I’ll get used to it right away.

I’m hungry.
I can’t possibly go another millimeter! Atom! I need food!
This is delicious.
Now that I’m full, I’m taking a nap.

8 episodes to be recorded? That seems like an awfully short first season, unless the VA's are being offered rolling contracts.

Also we now know the names of a few of Astro's new robot buddies: Pikko is the egg-shaped angel winged robot, Tac must be the the big-build robot next to Astro in promo art. That leaves the spaghetti limbs robot as the last main side character to be identified.

Not quite feeling the script, it's clearly going to be fairly basic in terms of plot. That said if it's a preschool show, I suppose considering it's a first effort by the Nigerian studio, it might be a bit by-the-numbers. I find it odd however that the Nigerian channel isn't running any promos for this show yet?

Maybe the robot with the spaghetti arm robot is Speed Joe. What he's wearing could be racing goggles. But I guess we have to wait and see. I wonder who Professor Flau is. He's probably antagonistic since he’s helping out Ham Egg.

Aside from those characters, these characters are still not confirmed:







I wonder if the theme/setting of the series will change for each episode. The second promotion picture shows the cast in space. Judging by the first post in this thread and the script, it seems that this show will probably be very light-hearted and educational in a moralistic way. I won’t be surprised if there's some slapstick in it, especially if it happens to Ham Egg and his robot side-kick(like what happened in the first picture).

the truth is, will it be air on next saturday?

Yes it would.

It would mostly likely replace some of the time slots for Flying House. Which would mean it could air on 6:30-8:00am, Saturday ,West Africa Time Zone. However, you have to be aware of the time zone difference between your time zone and WAT. An easy way to know the time in Nigeria is to search “Nigeria Time” on Google

I added the two links of the legal YouTube stream to the first post of this thread so people can easily access the stream to watch the new anime.

For clarification, it airs on March 22 sometime during the time block of 6:30 AM to 8:00 AM (West Africa Time) on Channels Television. If you need to convert that time into your own time zone, click this link.

Here are the two links to the legal stream:

Not sure how DST will effect the time difference.
