The first trailer for Imagi's big-screen Astro Boy has gone up online, and it has everything. You get to glimpse the Frankenstein-esque electrical zaps that created Astro Boy, the robot who wants to be a real boy. And then Astro Boy shows off what he can do — flying and burrowing and finally smashing out of a mountain. Awesome.
Now let's hope the whole thing is this sharp-looking, and the whole Pinnochio-bot thing doesn't get too old. Watch the trailer in HD at the link. [Moviefone]
