It has a strong moral worldview with some positive Christian content, as well as some anti-capitalist elements and a modern anti-war message that sounds a little pacifistic and politically correct. Reminiscent of Jules Verne, STEAMBOY is an exciting, sometimes visually stunning science fiction fable for older children and teenagers, especially boys. This is not easy, because the English government also wants to use his family’s powerful new steam technology to create weapons. Ray must decide whose side to take, his father’s or his grandfather’s. Ray wakes up to find that his father is in cahoots with evil men running the Foundation, which wants to sell new steam-powered weapons to the nations of the world, except England. A group of men from the nefarious O’Hara Foundation kidnaps the boy, Ray, and a package from his grandfather containing a small steam ball, a source of unbelievable power with high-density, compressed steam. STEAMBOY is a Japanese cartoon in English about an English boy in 1866 born into a family of inventors.
