I wish I would have known this before renting Astro Boy from Netflix for my 8-year old. Once I noticed there was a huge issue with the movie content I watch the entire thing out of curiosity. This movie does not pretend to be anything else but Marxist propaganda, and I didnt have to get to the part with the posters of Lenin to come to that conclusion. Oh, and those posters were in the headquarters of the good robots. Lots of propaganda too, showing how conservatives are evil war-mongers bent on the destruction of the planet for profit One scene had the evil conservative President standing in front of a banner that said Change is NOT what we need.
So let me warn all parents Stay clear of this movie.

I liked the film "Robots" that came out in 2005 where a young robot wanted to help his father get out of debt by being an inventor and working hard for a company in the big city he went to. Through scheming, some bad robots took over the company the young robot wanted to work for by kicking out its founder who worked hard from nothing to start the business. The bad robots stifled invention instead of promoting it but in the end, the good robots win out. I would suggest that movie instead.
Another one I lived was "The Incredibles." (2004) Basically it was about where most superheroes were driven underground and out of sight because of the fear of lawsuits from damages caused by fighting the supervillains and so forth. It is a good illustration on where people with great abilities were stifled by society.

A little bit of the script:
adorably wacky Marxist Robots! (complete with adorable little red raised fists printed on their bodies):
Viva la robot revolution!
What just happened?
Did you see the humans face?
They were quaking in their capitalist boots.
Dont worry, brother. You are safe.
Youve been rescued by
The Robot Revolutionary Front.
Im Sparx, the brightest.
- And Im Robotsky, the muscle.
Im Mike, the fridge. Im the fridge.
You are now liberated.
Go ahead, comrade.
Take your first step as a free robot

Already got a hint of it from the trailers, albeit for different reasons (Astro Boy shoots rockets out of his butt? Really?!). And honestly, it outright promoting Marxism definitely is yet another reason why I would not support that film at all.
That being said, even the original manga engaged in some left-wing diatribe. For example, there was the infamous 1967 story arc where Astro Boy defended a North Vietnamese Village (ie, a village inhabited by hard-core communists) from American bombers and blew several out of the sky, which you can find here: https://apjjf.org/-Matthew-Penney/3116/article.html Really anti-Vietnam war stuff (and it soured my opinion of Astro Boy when he sided with the Communists over Americans. It alongside other stuff also makes me whether the Japanese are actually our allies, if they seem to prefer giving sympathy for guys who would kill them for holding to a religion at all over the guys actually trying to stop Communism.).
