I just wanted to say how much my family and I loved Astro Boy. It's honestly one of the best animated movies we've ever seen. I think the blame for the film's troubles does not rest on the artists, who did such wonderful work on the film, but on Summit Entertainment's horrible handling of it. Promotion and scheduling can make or break even the best films, and, in my opinion, poor Astro Boy was the victim of Summits' incredible ineptitude (notice that The Hurt Locker, another film Summit handled, has been nominated for and won various awards for Best Picture from several critics' groups, yet it too flopped at the box office. Yay Summit!). I am sorry that such a brilliant movie was so badly handled. My family and I will be buying the DVD. Thank you, artists of Imagi, and also the writers and voice actors who also did such a splendid job, for such a marvelous and unforgettable film.
意馬動畫部門倒閉，政府責無旁貸。
政府一向得個講字，港府今年口口聲聲話大搞創意工業下，作為動畫業界龍頭公司清盤真是最大諷刺． Wei Wei
看過PIXAR動畫的人都知道，"Simple","PURE","TOUCHING"是它們故事的共通點與成功的秘訣，人才固然重要，成本管控更是一大學問。
現階段來說，也許意馬公司應該轉型，以現有人才為資本，多元化接觸電影後製、線上遊戲、電子書(電子書絕對是未來趨勢喔)...等影音產業，不一定只做自製動畫，相信對於公司和員工都會是雙贏的局面。
給意馬公司的員工們：文創產業仍然是未來的主流，只要有一技在身，就不怕沒有出路。
加油！！

可惜﹗可惜﹗按照意馬國際管理層的做法，拖欠200工人遣散費，就知道他們並沒有心繼續做文創產業，他們一心想賣殼給其他公司，濂大錢過肥年，受害的只是無助的工人。
Imagi work has established a new benchmark for asian studio. Your team has done well and make all asian CG artists proud. Don't give up.
3 cheers to your team.
