ASTRO KID is a sci-fi animation in which a boy must survive on an alien
planet when he gets separated from his parents during a space mission.
The son of two space explorers is marooned on a world filled with dazzling wildlife in this refreshing family animation.
In this French animated feature, pre-teen tyke Will (voiced as a perky American in the English-language release by Landen Beattie), the son of a pair of explorers, is literally lost in space. Separated from his parents, he gets marooned on a strange planet with only a helpful semi-spherical robot named Buck (Jason Anthony) for companionship. This classic, Robinson Crusoe-style conceit is imaginatively built on to create a likable survival story skewed towards kids.
As Will and Buck explore the desert-like terrain further, they discover a semi-tropical zone full of intensely coloured flora and fauna with the spongy-smooth texture and retina-searing colour palette of injection-moulded plastic toys. Director Eric Tosti and his team have cleverly included surprising dangers, such as giant hailstones and poisonous plants that require the duo – and eventually a doggy-cum-caterpillar-cum-dragon sidekick creature they name Flash – to find resourceful solutions to their problems.
Clearly, this is meant to teach kids about self-reliance, cooperation, the value of outdoor adventure and risk-taking; and the obligatory environmental sentimentalism is also present and correct. The animation is fluent and densely rendered, although sometimes the characters have less subtlety than their surrounding environment. But, compared with the relentlessly noisy animated features coming out of Hollywood, this is refreshingly old-school and innocent.
Following the destruction of their ship, the young Willy is separated from his parents with whom he traveled in space. His spare capsule lands on a wild and unexplored planet. With the help of Buck, a survival robot, he will have to hold until the arrival of a rescue mission.
