Young Monica's gang The Green Treasure

Postby Toshio » 12 years ago

Mauricio de Sousa and Osamu Tezuka were friends and both longed to make a story together.
However, Tezuka went ill and passed away in 1989, so the plan has stopped...
After several year, Mauricio managed to get the rights for making the crossover between characters.
However, the story is horrible and the characters of Osamu Tezuka got badly represented with several mistakes in their behavior and artwork.
For example, Dr. Ochanomizu (we brazilians don't give a damn for his ridiculous english dub name) was showed as a dwarf and everyone knows he is not that small.
Story: The characters created by Osamu Tezuka meets the characters created by Maurício de Sousa. The characters of Young Monica's gang goes to Amazon in order to visit the model of vegetal extraction and their method of extracting wood and replanting it. However, the animals of the forest went insane and started attacking humans for no reason (but in natural conditions it would happen. For example: a jaguar attacking a human nearby). Turns out the animals were acting strange following orders from Kimba who somehow was sent to the brazilian rain forest and something very awful was happening to them.
Here is a screenshot which Dr. Tenma (he was badly drawn O_o) shows his true intentions and his new robot model:

Yes, it's Atlas from 2003 series. Despite being a awful story, the design seems pretty definitive.

As you see, they don't cared about adding Uran, that's pretty awful...
And Kimba was there with his gang, but mass produced Atlas? That's horrible.

I've read the crossover between Osamu Tezuka's characters and Mauricio de Sousa's characters and it was HORRIBLE. They even made Atlas (based in his 2003 design) being defeated by a bunny in the face. Pathetic.
That project was quite old and they made it quite half assed...
Here is a teaser of the special edition:

It's Pluto with his 2003 design, but he don't take part of the story, at least.
Because, having him being beaten in the same way as Atlas would be a big insult.
Also, it doesn't make sense a story featuring the conflict between Pluto and Atom without having Uran involved.
