British label Eureka Entertainment has confirmed that it will release on Blu-ray Rintaro's animated film
Metropolis (2001). The release is expected to arrive on the market later this year. (Official release date has not yet been confirmed).
Synopsis:
Metropolis is a story of how important emotions are and how they separate humans from everything else. The movie follows a young boy and his uncle (a private investigator). The story is set in the far future where humans and robots live together, unfortunately not in harmony. Many robots are forced underground and are terminated for entering unauthorized areas. They are more or less servants to humankind. The plot starts to unfold when the boy meets a robot named Tima and they get in all kinds of trouble. Never a dull moment when you've got a robot by your side. The film is loosely based on the 1949
Metropolis manga created by Osamu Tezuka
