The crispness and quailty of the animation, with the shadowing and colors add to the foreboding feeling that the movie conveys. Based in the 'steampunk' genre, circa late 1800's Japan, this hard science ficiton story features fantastic animation with super detail and is sure to impress even non anime or Sci-Fi fans. This became my favorite non-Hayao Miyazaki anime.ever. I took a chance on this one, because I was intrigued by the few scences I had seen and was impressed with the visual quality of the production.

STEAMBOY is an animated gem both kids and adults can enjoy. In addition to the original subtitled Japanese version, there is an English-language edition featuring the voices of Anna Paquin, Alfred Molina, and Patrick Stewart. The background paintings and 3-D CGI animation are gorgeous, creating a gray-and-white palette of gear-driven machines that melds perfectly with the story, which takes the main characters to a major science exhibition in Victorian-era London. And so it is up to Ray to protect the fate of the earth while also choosing between his father and grandfather.

When Lloyd invents a steam ball that has unheard-of possibilities, everyone wants it-world leaders, wealthy industrialists, and even the government-but most of them want it for evil purposes. Ray Steam (voice of Anne Suzuki) is a young boy following in the footsteps of his father, Eddy (Masane Tsukayama), and grandfather, Lloyd (Katsuo Nakamura), scientists dedicated to advancing technology through the use of steam.

Katsuhiro Otomo, the master Japanese anime director behind the international success AKIRA, scores again with STEAMBOY, the inventive story of a family of inventors from Manchester, England, that gets ripped apart by greed, pride, and power.
