Astro Kid

In this animated family-friendly adventure about independence and survival, 10-year-old Willy (Landen Beattie, 'Spiral Farm', 'Jane the Virgin', 'Leo Da Vinci: Mission Mona Lisa') accompanies his parents on a trip through outer space, but is separated from them when his space pod is ejected during an asteroid storm. Willy's only companion as he floats through space is survival robot, Buck (Jason Anthony, 'Stark Trek: Discovery, 'Small Talk', 'Hero Factory'), with whom he lands on a colourful and exciting planet full of unusual creatures under siege by rock monsters. Willy and Buck, who embarks on a journey of his own to learn about human emotion whilst taking care of the young boy, join forces with one of these loyal creatures, Flash, to survive and navigate this unfamiliar terrain until Willy can hatch a plan to find his way back to his mother and father.
