astro boy.

It seems we need to update the Astro Boy myth every 20 years. Each time we focus on another section of the story and change the presentation significantly. So we must be 10 years or so from the next iteration.

The quick observations: it becomes less silly symphony with each version. The relationship between scientist and son becomes psychoanalytical in the 80's and secondary in the 00's. Why the professor's hair was black in the two early videos I don't know. In the books he has white hair. Last, the message of robots and people living together in equality morphs significantly between the three.
