I can’t say I’ve ever seen anything Astro Boy related, but don’t count that against me. I’ll be among the first in line to see the second animated feature from Imagi, who brought us the decent TMNT movie in 2007. I can catch up on years of robot boy goodness after that.
Oh yeah, and Hot Toys is releasing an awesome Astroy Boy figure sometime soon, and I probably won’t be able to afford it.
Christian Annyas, a fellow web designer, has started an awesome website called the Movie Title Stills Collection, where he is archiving screenshots of movie title screens, end titles, and trailer titles from 1920 to the present day.
I think the art of the title screen is something that people in Hollywood forgot about years ago, so it is great to be able to enjoy them again in archived form.
Now, he should create an Animated Shorts Title Stills Collection!

In case you haven’t noticed, this year is the 25th Anniversary of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Mirage is celebrating by releasing as much stuff for my fellow fanboys and I to buy as possible. We’ve seen the re-release of the classic TMNT action figures, video games, and more, and now we get new box sets of all the TMNT movies.
Warner Bros. sent me a copy of the standard DVD set, which you can pick up here
The fine folks at Noreen Young Productions contacted me to let me know they have created a YouTube channel and are going to be uploading full episodes of Under the Umbrella Tree. The first is available now, and it’s called “Iggy’s Collection”.
You can can buy the whole series on DVD from their website.
This looks like so much more fun than TMNT Smash Up. It comes out tomorrow, August 5th, on Xbox LIVE. Here’s an early review.
If anyone else will be playing this tomorrow, my gamertag is BlueAwesome.
