Astro Boy Teaser Lands

Moviefone has dropped the teaser trailer for the October 23, 2009 film adaptation of the anime classic Astro Boy. The film stars the voices of Nicholas Cage and some other rubes.
This is sure to be as big a disappointment and bastardization of many people's childhoods as Speed Racer was, though it's saving grace may be that it's not helmed by the Douchekowski Brothers. Sorry, siblings.
My guess, it'll be some smoothly animated CGI kids/family flick that is devoid of artistic linework, flaw, innocence, humor, and good story telling and will instead be a bunch of shiny, bobbleheaded CGI children drafted into some ridiculous plot with a lot of forced jokes that fail.
Oh, and it's in 3-D. Another shitty film trend replacing the far superior traditional animation.
See ya opening night.
