"Astro Boy" really is a kid's series, though, so a "Saturday morning cartoon" look is the right idea, I'd say.

Maybe the trailer got released early by mistake or something? Cause it seems odd that it's suddenly been pulled from Hulu.

Well, Astro Boy can use weapons that a kid prob shouldn't. And that girl in the promo doesn't look 9 yo either.

It actually doesn't look too bad, I may consider giving them money to view it. It already looks like an improvement over the last time Astro attempted to go 3D in that horrid PS2 game.
I do kinda wish that it didn't have the rather stereotypical "in a world where..." part in it's ad though. It does make it look like they took the material more seriously and it doesn't seem like it wants to drag Astro's name through the mud over to a garbage bin in some shady back alley as Astro kicks and screams as he shouts "don't make a movie out of me that will be horrible just because you might get money from using my name and image in it!" (like the Dragon Ball movie apparently has, poor Goku, must've been a painful experience  ).

Nah, Goku's laughing all the way to the bank still.

The Hulu one got taken down, so you can watch it @ Youtube. It's got CG Tezuka @ 1:05.  Personally, I'm fine with it so far, Goth Girl Sidekick/Love Interest aside. I just hope they stick with the fantasy element of the series, and don't use Iraq war metaphors, even though Tezuka wasn't the type to shy from addressing Vietnam.

ha, true enough, and they're coming out with a shorter, fillerless version of the show anyway that is sure to please more than the movie will.
I was totally remembering the episode of South Park with Indiana Jones when I was writing the post before. And now I have thoroughly imagined that scene with Goku, please excuse me while I wash that image from my mind.
