I'm coming out of retirement to try to help the encyclopedia and only that.

Currently, the Astro Boy movie is listed as an anime in the encyclopedia.

anime#10079

Aside from Tezuka (because it was based on his manga), and one executive producer, there is not one Japanese name or studio in the credits. What exactly qualifies it as an anime? Should it not be listed as (U.S. Movie) instead?

In fact, G.I. Joe Sigma Six has many Japanese people involved in its making and was produced by Gonzo, and yet it is listed as (U.S. TV). As so:

anime#5741

So, Sigma Six is more anime than the Astro Boy movie, but the Astro Boy movie is listed as an anime in the encyclopedia. Please address this.
