Astro Kid

A boy gets lost, finds friends, and grows up.

Definitely aimed at children around 10 years old. At 90 minutes it's not too long, it's a nice story, and the animation is quite good.

It's amazing. First I watched the movie in Spanish and hate it due to the leading role. Then I watched it again with the original audio in French and I loved the movie. Hence, listen to the original it can change everything. It's mainly because in Spanish Willy is unbearable. Everything else is great, I loved the colors, designs, the production itself. Sure, the premise is weak but totally bearable.

Terra Willy is an intelligent and beautifully animated movie. Although it takes place on an unknown planet the lessons that boy Willy learns are easily transferrable to any jungle with unknown plants and creatures. The vegetation on the planet is of stunning detail and beautifully shot, there is a lot to discover. The scenes of problem solving and playing fun games are well balanced. Being separated from his parents Willy must also learn some social skills. The music is mostly subtle in the background. At the end of Willy's training he will use all that he has learnt in a short fight action scene, full of unexpected turns. Most of the movie is a discovery and survival training. It is easily comprehensible and fun to watch. Despite all the hazards it is a feelgood view suitable for all ages. There are many good lessons to learn from this French animation.

Amazing graphics: very colorful once the Astro Kid begins exploring the planet with his robot. I enjoy a good story in any genre and this one is not bad at all.

If you or your kids like Wall E you will probably like this The visuals and animations are amazing, I love the creature designs, there are not many space exploration stories for kids out there and this is certainly a nice one.
