The Return of Astroboy!

I was just a little girl when Astroboy became such a big hit during the 1980's. I remember my older cousins catching it on channel 9 just right after our siestas. Now, it's coming back .. and I'm glad that they did a remake of this cartoon, I can share and tell stories to my kids about it.
