I've learned to read with Tintin, and I find so many similarities between Astro and Tintin - both fearless, generous, forgiving... even too human to be human, in a way. Of course, both are surrounded by very colorful characters!

In fact by analyzing Tintin's albums, a psychoanalysist guessed that Hergé was suffering from having not been recognized by his father, and it was only a few years later that it was finally known that he had been right. I've wondered lately if Tezuka had had similar issues. Of course, orphans in animes have been quite common anyway.
So, who will see it? It's already released in Europe. The release date for the US is only at about Christmas time, but there is talk that in my area we could get to see it a little bit before that!
