Maybe I am a little late in this...but I just found out today about the Speed Racer movie.

Here is the trailer from youtube :

I absolutely loved this cartoon when I was growing up.

I will have high hopes here...high hopes indeed.

I can't see the trailer.

Please tell me it will have Racer X.

...OK dAN, file this one away...

I'll go see it for Racer X...

Yep...what would Speed Racer be without Racer X???

I just gave my 6 year old a crash course on Speed Racer...he's ready!

Did you at least get a look at the Mach 5?

Beorn will probably roll his eyes at me but yeah, I'll drag him along with me.

Nope...thanks for posting.

I don't even bother with youtube links anymore. Being on dial-up just...well trying to watch videos on dial-up is a lesson in frustration.

I had really high hopes for this until I saw who was directing it.

I'll wait 'till it comes out on cable.

Yeah, cause every other movie based on a cheap cartoon from the 60s has been steller...

Come to think of it, I might watch a Johney Quest movie.

Oh G-ds...

Y'all are only proving dAN's point.

OK...so I am a hippocrit.

At least when it comes to 60's animated adventure series.

I really, really liked Hajii as a kid...

Johnny...pheh.

Yeah, but you keep going back, hoping for lightning in a bottle.

Besides, Speed Racer was awesome, and the Mach 5 is the coolest car ever.

...hoping Trixie is not such an airhead...

Yeah, she was smart.

But such an overall airhead.

I don't know if any of you watched "Freakazoid", but I dug it up a few months ago, and one of the eps has a *great* Jonny Quest Parody.
