Astro Boy: The Brave in Space

Synopsis

Three episodes from the Astro Boy television series—"Robot Rocket" (episode 46), "Earth Defense Troops" (episode 56), and "The Last Day of Earth" (episode 71)—were selected and re-edited for a theatrical release. Among these, only "Earth Defense Troops" originally came from Tezuka Osamu's story "Number 7," with its settings later adapted into the Astro Boy series. For this film, the entirety of "Earth Defense Troops" and a portion of "The Last Day of Earth" were reproduced in color specifically for this theater version.
