ASTRO BOY:

There we are,

floating peacefully in the sky.

Metro City, the jewel in the crown.

Beautiful, isn't it?

But how did we get here?

A century ago,

the founders of Metro City...

...seeing our world was changing...

...took Mount and lifted it out of the Earth

and into the sky.

...a floating paradise.

We don't really know

what happens in these days...

...on the strange and mysterious surface

we left behind.

But life in Metro City

is better than ever.

Thanks to our friends,

the Robots.

Robots do our shopping.

They cook for us.

They serve our meals.

They take good care of us.

They even do the really

important things like...

...reminding us to call Momma

on her birthday.

What else, raising our children,

building our buildings...

...taking care of our city...

...or making sure

we were all fit and healthy.

For these guys... no job is too big.

Or too small.

First, Robots do a all of things

that frankly,

We didn't just don't wanted

to do anymore.

Oh, no!

No worries, folks.

That street will get cleaned.

The best and brightest are then

get picked for the more exciting tasks.

This lucky guy is starting

his first day at his new job.

And it's all thanks to this man.

Dr. Tenma, head of the Ministry of Science

and father of Modern Robotics.

Thanks to him and

the incredible innovations...

Hey, Toby, isn't that your dad?

- It sure is.

Hush!

Our friends the Robots helps us.

Thousands are created every day...

...and thousands are disposed of...

...in the great and

never ending cycle that...

...substains life in our great city.

Thanks for everything, guys.

May you rust in peace!

Okay, students.

Ready for our pop quiz?

What?

- No!

Begin!

I'm so busted!

Yes, Toby?

Is there a problem?

- There's no problem.

I'm just finished and I'd like to leave.

- Finished?

The rocket science

wasn't excatly rocket science.

Well, I don't suppose there's much

point in you staying.

Good luck, guys.

Just like his father.

Hello, Master Toby!

Did you have a good day?

- The best, Orrin.

Thank you, Master Toby.

Very good throw.

Hello, son.

- Hello, sir.

How was school?

- Oh, great!

Mr. Pistachio dropped a

pop quiz on us but...

...I'm pretty sure,

I got a 100 %.

That's good, son.

Very good.

But I don't want you

to become complacent.

It's important to keep studying.

Onward and upward, Toby!

Sure, Dad.

I'm very sad, I'd take you that

symposium on quantum mechanics...

But I'm afraid, I'd have to take

a rain check again.

You... you promised!

I'm sorry, Toby,

but it's unavoidable.

President Stone's work for

the unveiling of the "Peacekeeper".

"The Peacekeeper"?

You gotta be kidding me!

- I never kid.

Goodbye, son.

"The Peacekeeper", huh?

Hey, Orrin, change of plan.

Take me to

the Ministry of Science.

I'm sorry,

Master Toby...

...but you father gave me

strict instructions to...

Stop it!

What are you doing back there?

Hey! Hey!

Next stop, Ministry of Science!

Are you ready to

blow me way today, Tenma?

To make my hairs stand up?

To knock my socks off?

Yes, yes...

Metaphorically speaking.

- Oh, that's the spirit.

Dr. Elefun is an esteem colleague

of mine, Mr. President.

He may be resistant to

having his discoveries used...

...for military purposes.

Oh, you leave Dr. Elefun to me.

Dad!

Hold it!

- Hold it!

What are you doing here?

I gave Orrin

specific instructions to...

I wanted to see the demonstration.

You're always talking

about "The Peacemaker"...

Really, Toby?

- Your boy?

Yes, sir.

- Well, let him tag along.

Releasing the potential threat.

It will be good for him.

Good education.

Yes, sir.

So you are interested

in robots, son?

Robot weapons?

- Absolutely.

Though, I'm sure you'll agree...

...the latest D-Class Interceptor

targeting system...

...is quite old fashioned.

Nobody likes a smarty pants!

Take this boy to a safe place

and keep him there.

What? Dad!

- I think for the best, Toby.

But you said,

I could see the Peacekeeper!

You still can...

...on tonight's news,

like everybody else.

Ladies and gentlemen...

...allow me to present...

Blue core energy!

Blue core energy!

A new self-sustaining power source.

Much stronger than

nuclear energy...

...and infinitely cleaner.

The raw materials came from space.

A fragment of a star.

Millions of light years away,

but no longer even exists.

This is now

all that's left of it.

Properly harnessed,

this small sphere...

...could transform

not only Metro City...

...but life of those

on the surface as well.

Imagine cleaning Earth's water...

Imagine bringing back the forests.

Imagine overcoming the effects of

centuries of pollution.

I know, he's bit of a dreamer,

...but he's a brilliant scientist.

He's a dangerous idiot

who happens to have a high IQ.

There's no such thing

as a free lunch.

When we extract the depositive

blue energy from the fragment...

...we'll be left with this

highly unstable by product...

...negative red energy!

Oh, I like that one.

Women voters are partial

to the colour red, you know?

Until we discover,

how to safelty dispose it...

What?

What are you doing?

Stop!

Keep the cores apart

or you will kill us all!

Do as he says.

This is outrageous!

What are you intending

to do with it?

I'm gonna give the people of the city
