Even if you aren’t like Astro Boy though, I’d be willing to be that you could use your mouse and click to see the larger versions. The animation in this little film is very slick and as you can see below, it has some cool sci-fi elements. As long as the story engages its audience, we might have a non-Pixar, non-Dreamworks animated film worth talking about. Check out the new stills for yourself below.
