MetalHeart Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Information taken from: The Movie Box // Steamboy SYNOPSIS __________ Plot: The long anticipated feature cost 2.4 billion Yen (US$20.2m) to produce just a few dollars short of the 2.4 billion Yen that it cost to produce Spirited Away, the most expensive Anime feature ever. In contrast, Steam Boy comprises 180 000 cels, 1.5 times as many as Spirited Away. STEAMBOY follows Rei, a young inventor living in the U.K. in the middle of the 19th century. Shortly before the first ever World Expo, a marvelous invention called the "Steam Ball", behind which a menacing power is hidden, arrives at his door from his grandfather Roid in the U.S. Meanwhile the nefarious Ohara Foundation has sent men to acquire the Steam Ball so that they can use its power towards their own illicit ends. --- animenewsnetwork.com DETAILS__________ Studio: Sony Pictures / Toho Film Distributing Co.

Reverend Jax Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 The animation looks crazy from the trailer. In the US theaters 03/18/05. Sounds good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiterasta Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 I saw it the other week...wanted to know if any other Hondo visitors had seen it, and what you thought of it. I though it was a pretty damn poignant little flick, definately worth the admission price. My favorite scene was where Scarlett was walking up to the shore with the Steam-soldiers, twirling her parasol, and two huge fuckin' cannon balls come zooming past her, killing one of the Steam-soldiers...She is then horrified to find that there is a man inside the metal suit! Pretty sweet if yeh ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetalHeart Posted July 10, 2005 Author Share Posted July 10, 2005 Yay! A chance to use the spoiler tags: Cj, Dowe and myself all drooled over when the glass shattered from the building, and it goes all slow like. I think it's featured in the trailure for a short few seconds.. There are a few more but my memory is stupid, and it's been a while since I saw it last. That scene though... so badass lol. we had watched the japanese version, then went and saw the american version in theaters when it was released. not too happy with it being shortened, but it was still pretty good. The granpa is the fucking best lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiterasta Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 You say it was shortened? What scenes were cut? Violent ones, no doubt. I noticed it was less violent than Akira. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
