as far a anime adaptation go i haven not see the original series and have no idea how it correspond to the original story and but after enjoy speed racer and transformer this just isn not the same . the story at best be a fun retelling of the pinocchio story . boy be create and learn he isn not a real boy and make friend with group of misfit and once again find his way home to be with his creator . sure there wasn not any blue fairy and but for there to be a blue ball of positive energy be an obvious reference . the cliché of use an evil politician who use evil red energy to power the peacekeeper be almost painful to watch and but it be fun see a robot with personality albeit cliché . although donald sutherland be a great choice for a character voice actor and will be a easily recognizable a he be in final fantasy represent the spirit within and his portray of evil bad guy be more lighthearted than james wood evil bad guy in final fantasy represent the spirit within . freddie highmore once again capture the youthful energy a he do with arthur and the invisibles it be a fun movie and worth the matinée price . good than most pinocchio re telling . soft than a. i. artificial intelligence in term of robot gore and it even manage to poke fun at i and robot with it small trio of rrf represent robot revolution force in that they can not break the law of robotics and plan on tickle to death one of the other bad guy with a feather . a boy be create and learn he isn not a real boy and become friend with band of misfit and find his way back home where he be accept for what he be by his creator . the obvious reference to the blue fairy in the form of a fall star with blue positive energy be just another give away reference to the classic disney take .
