By coincidence, Robert Stephenson, who was the intended recipient of the Steam Ball, was on his way to Manchester to meet with the elder Dr. With Emma's help, he manages to activate his monowheel as more agents, operating a large steam automotive, give chase, succeeding in thwarting it on a railway line by putting it in the way of an incoming train. Then, Alfred and Jason, two members from a company called "The O'Hara Foundation" arrive and attempt to steal the ball, but Lloyd appears just in time to distract them, allowing Ray to escape with the package. Ray's life is suddenly disrupted by the arrival of a package from his grandfather Lloyd the metallic ball seen earlier, along with its schematics and a letter instructing him to guard it. While he usually lives alone with his mother, his friend Emma and her brother Thomas have recently been sent over to stay until their mother returns from a business trip. In 1866, back in England, Edward's son, Ray Steam, is an avid young inventor who works at a textile mill in Manchester as a maintenance boy, often working on a personal steam-powered monowheel at home.
An experiment in Russian Alaska goes terribly wrong, with Edward being engulfed in freezing gases, but results in the creation of a strange ball-like apparatus. They believe the water can be harnessed as an ultimate power source for steam engines (the main industrial engine of the time). In 1863, where an alternate nineteenth century Europe has made tremendous strides in steampunk-themed technologies, scientist Lloyd Steam and his son Edward have succeeded, after a lengthy expedition, in discovering a pure mineral water.
#STEAMBOY ANIME FULL MOVIE MOVIE#
Steamboy is the most expensive full length Japanese animated movie made to date The film was released in Japan on July 17, 2004. And this is a too-rare case in movie science-fiction where the special effects make a viewer think, about the onslaught of technology, about where human progress is going, and where it's been.Is a 2004 Japanese animated steampunk film, produced by Sunrise, and directed and co-written by Katsuhiro Otomo, his second major anime release, following Akira. It's a pretty noisy spectacle, but you can lose yourself in Otomo's sumptuous designs, cathedrals of gears, cogs, screws, flywheels, and pulleys. Steamboy is similarly visionary but a little more family-friendly. But Akira was also dark, violent, and pessimistic. Akira's sprawling cityscapes and intrigues deserved the biggest screens it could get. Earlier it had been restricted to home-video imports, syndicated TV, and bootlegs. His sci-fi epic Akira, back in 1989, opened the floodgates for Japanese animation in US theaters. This retro-futurist Victorian action movie is like Jules Verne on steroids, with wondrous Industrial-Revolution machinery grown to Tokyo-stomping heights and visually realized by star animator Katsuhiro Otomo.
Reportedly the most expensive Japanese-animated cartoon yet made, Steamboy takes place in Charles Dickens' time but is as full of incredible gadgets as any science-fiction epic. London turns into a battleground and each side unleashes wilder and wilder engines of destruction (throughout, however, human casualties remain extremely low).
Edward thinks this is a good thing Lloyd does not, and neither do the authorities and rival inventors, who launch an attack. The Steam Castle is a showcase for new weapons, offered for sale to the nations of the world. Ray is torn between his grandfather, who tries to sabotage the Steam Castle at every opportunity and his father, who wants to create more and more machines. The same mishap has left Ray's grandfather Lloyd wildly opposed to technology, and the raving old man gets locked in the bowels of the Steam Castle, the family's fortress-style display at London's Great Exhibition that needs the Steam Ball to work.
They're allied with Edward Steam, who was badly wounded in a lab accident but has rebuilt himself as a sort of cyborg. Right away, a gang tries to take the Steam Ball. The Steam Ball arrives in the mail and Ray is told to protect it no matter what. Set in 1866 in England, STEAMBOY centers on Ray Steam (voiced by Anna Paquin), the resourceful teen son in a family of inventors, but he hasn't seen his father Edward (voiced by Alfred Molina) or his grandfather Lloyd (voiced by Patrick Stewart) since they left to invent the Steam Ball, a small metal sphere of ultra-compressed liquid so mighty it could run a city.
