ASTROBOY IS SET IN THE YEAR 2000.
THIS FAR INTO THE FUTURE, THERE ARE ELECTRIC HIGHWAYS MAKING
MANUAL DRIVING UNECESSARY. A YOUNG BOY NAMED ASTRO BOYKIN IS DRIVING IN ONE OF THESE AUTOMATIC CARS WHEN A GARBAGE
TRUCK PULLS INTO HIS PATH. THE HUGE CRASH LEAVES ASTRO DEAD. HIS FATHER, PROF. BOYKIN (A CRAZY SCIENTIST), DECIDES TO
IMPLANT HIS SON'S MEMORIES INTO A ROBOTIC BODY. THUS,ASTROBOY IS BORN.
HIS FATHER TEACHES HIM MANY THINGS, BUT, WHEN ASTROBOY DOESN'T GET ANY BIGGER WITH AGE, HE NEGLECTS ASTRO & SELLS HIM TO A ROBOT CIRCUS. ONE NIGHT AT A PERFORMANCE, A FIRE BREAKS OUT IN THE CIRCUS. ASTRO & THE OTHER ROBOTS SAVE EVERYONE.
A SCIENTIST NAMED PACHADERMUS J. ELEPHANT WANTS TO SET ASTRO FREE FROM HIS CONTRACT WITH THE CIRCUS. ASTRO'S OWNER WON'T FREE HIM. AFTER GOING THROUGH A LOT OF RED TAPE, A NEW LAW IS PASSED FREEING ALL ROBOTS.
ASTRO STAYS WITH DR. ELEPHANT FIGHTING ENEMIES OF ALL TYPES THAT COME HIS WAY.
