...Tezuka's 1951 manga series that spawned a TV cartoon series from the '60s. (I confess I never saw it, because I was out doing stuff that decade.) The new version, streamlined and Americanized, but with animation from the Hong Kong company Imagi, lacks the brand recognition of the big CGI studios, but the movie has its charms.

...timber is big business in Vietnam, where demand for exotic wood products in Europe and the U.S. has been driving illegal logging for years. Furniture manufacturing and wood processing earned Vietnam $2.8 billion last year, making it one of the largest hard-currency earners in the country. Loggers have become so brazen that they are even going after the rare Dalbergia tonkinesis trees planted on the streets of Vietnam's capital, chopping them down in the middle of the night and selling them to traders...
