Astro Boy
Well...
This is not the Astro Boy you might remember from your youth (and depending upon when that was you could remember the original or the updated series or both) even though the story itself might seem familiar. This is not an "un-artful" film but it is definitely missing the original's Japanese sensibilities.
Overall the animation is OK but the voice acting is uneven with some actors seeming barely to be trying. This is not Miyazaki or Pixar.
However...
The grandson enjoyed it so it is reaching the target audience.
