But there was a good thing about that movie: sure, it might have damaged Astro's reputation a bit,
just a bit, however the name "Astro Boy" was just starting to slip out of everyone's minds at that time. The film kind of "revived" Astro, and if the people loved it then they would automatically look back at the series before the film and it helps make more Astro Boy fans and keeps Astro Boy running
