Synopsis

In the Victorian era, the British Empire is bustling with the energy of the steam-powered industrial revolution. Following in the footsteps of his famous family of inventors, James Ray Steam enjoys his youth in Manchester helping at local factories and stealing components for his own creations. One day, he receives a package containing a strange ball with an attached valve from his grandfather, who has been working in the United States alongside Ray's father. However, it is not long before people from the O'Hara Foundation storm into his house demanding he hand it over.

Arrière-plan

Steamboy was initially to be a three 40-minute OVA series, but a theatrical release was decided instead. The movie took nine years to create with a budget of 2.4 billion yen, making it the most expensive Japanese animated film produced for its time. It won the 2004 Best Animated Feature Film at the Sitges Film Festival. The film was released on DVD in Japan by Bandai Visual on April 14, 2005.
