Oh no, I think I remember this scene, is it Astro Boy?

Wait a minute, I watched this as a kid. IT WAS ANIME?!?!? I thought it was a western caroon.

It's more than anime, it's where Miyazaki got his feet wet, before founding Ghibli. Same studio that co-produced Viky the Viking with German television. The whole thing is closely connected to Japanese romantisation of Europe as a place of nature and fairytales, very much pushed by Ghibli. In case you ever wondered why Frieren is full of German names and there's christianish-looking priests and talk of heaven and tons and tons and tons of nature: It's just continuing a tradition. And have a video about nature in anime in general and Ghibli in particular. While we're at it have a long (and German) wikipedia article on Heidi in Japan

To be fair the style isn't anime style

[–] barsoap@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago

And I supposed Astro Boy isn't either.

If you were in a religious household, or was babysat by the tv And watched CBN, you may have also seen Superbook and Flying House. Both stories about kids (time) traveling through biblical times. Both are anime and produced by Tatsunoko Productions.

How do they hold up? Are they accurate at all, or full-on fantasy?

[–] einlander@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

They keep up with the general timeline and they don't try to change too much. Think babys first Isekai.

"Atom and Nuka" / "Astro's First Love" - 1983

[–] Gnugit@aussie.zone 2 points 4 months ago

Thank you. For some reason this instantly brought back memories of my childhood devastation of Astro Boy losing his love.

Isn't that the new Paul Rudd vehicle?

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Paul Rudd's new vehicle is a wheelchair? Oh no! Was he in an accident?

[–] WarmSoda@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm not going to post spoilers for Mac n Me here, who do you think I am?

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

who do you think I am?

Ant-Man co-star Abby Ryder Fortson?

[–] WarmSoda@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (2 children)

That's ridiculous. Why would I be on Lemmy of all places?

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

So you can hang out with Margot Robbie?

[–] WarmSoda@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago
