    Dear Hollywood,


    Stop teasing me! I know you're trying to build hype, but making me wait forever to see this thing is just annoying. It certainly won't make me want to see this movie any more than I would have wanted to if you told me two months before the release date.


    Sincerely,


    Anekanta

    This is that show where five teenage hooligans in bird-fetish dirt bike outfits keep on ruining the world domination plans of a kindly purple transexual coyote? All Berg Katse wanted is to subjugate the human race with giant robot turtles, camels, and penguins, was that so wrong?

    I hated those kids.

    Never really watched the cartoon or read the manga, but this looks pretty cute. Then again, I have a soft spot for CGI movies.

    CG anime movies shall and always will = EPIC FREAKIN FAIL HAHAHHAHAHAHAH! You stupid morons keep screwing up all you want. You'll all end up with a crap stack of film/discs etc at your door with theters getting the picture and demand you give them and everyone else their hour wasted of life back. Seriously, stop trying. It's sad and embarassing. Cg will NEVER EVER EVER be liked or even tolerated by everyone. It's a dead form of whatever ass it was crapped out of. That said they have just wasted a crap load of money n something noones gonna go see. This box office is gonna be more entertaining to watch than Batman and Robin's epic fail.

    @megas88: I dunno bout that there's a whole generation (my dad's) who really loved astro boy. They'll be hitting nostalgia and the kid's market. Not to mention its a globally loved series, the Japanese one at least, I think if it gets decent reviews it'll do well. TMNT wasn't my fav CG movie but I didn't hate it. I think you might just have issues with CG movies.

    @quesadillaap:

    CRT ALT BINGO! But dude, cg takes away heart from everything. When you look into the eyes of an anime character you see a soul. The energy of someone who draws is put into them. With cg all you see is an empty void of piss and decay. Now that my deep response has been recorded let me tell you something that you can't find done in a cg movie. FARTSSSSSSS! PPPPPPPPP. Comedy right there is better in toons. Would the loony toons even have life if cg. HELLLLLL NOOOOOOOO. Y? Cause they have withstood the tests of time and brought about an age of comedy for all kids to enjoy in the 90s in which inspiration was plentiful. If you have trouble understanding this then go search for Animaniacs. You'll understand soon enough. Then search Freakazoid.

    It's way to early to tell if it's good or not. But hey, Kristen Bell is going to be in it so they can already count my money in.
