kimba the white lion, the next generation by bacci40	May 2nd, 2008 03:19:11 AM
oh shit, disney already did it...and called it the lion king....if there was ever a question as to the impact that star trek has had on the culture, it is all these revamped shows calling themselves "the next generation"...but nah, i aint interested...
Give it to AdultSwim to do, by wowsah156	May 2nd, 2008 03:46:45 AM
Make Speed Racer an pet insurance salesman being harrased by his boss Chim Chim. Oh the hilarity.
Still gonna by Series7	May 2nd, 2008 07:38:24 AM
See this movie for on my birthday/opening day. Hopefully it'll be like a tranny made this movie especially for me.... even though I am over the age of 13. Also I wonder if this cartoon sucks harder then the new Transformers? Thats gotta be pretty tough. How do cartoons look worse now then they did back then? Seriously the new Transformers Anime looks and is so awful it makes the movie look good.
Ahem... by rutgersjaffo	May 2nd, 2008 09:07:40 AM
Speed Racer sucks. Anime sucks. That is all...
...And of course Chim-Chim... by Kid Z	May 2nd, 2008 09:31:10 AM
...is dead and his dust-covered, stuffed and mounted body sits sadly forgotten in a dark corner of the now-adult Spritle's office.
american-made? by punto	May 2nd, 2008 11:09:55 AM
no that I want to pre-judge it, but I tend to not enjoy american animated series that much. Just get a japanese writer at least.
Already available on BT by Akusokuzan	May 2nd, 2008 11:35:37 AM
The show tries to tie in CGI graphics and animation together and does a poor job at it. The voice acting is terrible; with a horrible script and humor that makes you scratch your head. The whole premise is to bring forth a new speed and bring it in this high school atmosphere; it however fails to bring character and humor to this once great show.
Pros & Cons by Stacy Without An E	May 2nd, 2008 12:25:23 PM
Pros: The show doesn't ignore what came before and actually creates some mystery with the disappearance of the original Speed Racer. Cons: It's an American reinterpretation of a Japanese cartoon that was influenced by Western ideas. Thus, it feels like a pale copy.
The son of Speed and a Robot Chim Chim by Slugworth	May 2nd, 2008 01:34:34 PM
Strange family tree.
I always figured Speed would get lots of chicks. by Pops Freshemeyer	May 2nd, 2008 01:38:39 PM
Weird that he'd knock up a robo-monkey...
You wouldn't need lots of chicks... by Kid Z	May 2nd, 2008 01:46:10 PM
...or a robot monkey if you had access to TrixRicci!
robots and monkeys = WIN by ArcadianDS	May 2nd, 2008 01:46:39 PM
this will finally destroy that myth.
Robot Chim-Chim = FAIL!!!! by Spaz_Monkey	May 2nd, 2008 03:03:45 PM
I've seen bits and pieces of this already (thank you internet) and it's suckitude is equal only to the God-awful new Transformers cartoon.
but the new transformers had... by ArcadianDS	May 2nd, 2008 03:12:08 PM
a companion cube between all the scenes - or is that the 'old new transformers' ?
YUCK!!! by LaserPants	May 2nd, 2008 03:21:27 PM
That looks fucking TERRIBLE.
Sounds as bad as the revamped Jonny Quest by Dingbatty	May 2nd, 2008 03:24:19 PM

"Yaaaaaaaay, Prince Planet!"
BIONIC CHIM CHIM BOOGALOO by TomBodet	May 3rd, 2008 07:51:45 AM
You know you'll go see it.
Aquaman by vmj19	May 3rd, 2008 08:30:20 AM
Is he flying or swimming through air? What's the deal?
here he COMES here COMES speed racer... by Groothewarrior	May 3rd, 2008 11:05:20 AM

Didn't they try to do this before? by joeelliott	May 3rd, 2008 01:14:15 PM
And it was crap then too.
that looks really pathetic by Datascream	May 3rd, 2008 03:29:36 PM
seriously. It looks uninspired and thrown together. Direct penny-pinching from people trying to ride the coat-tails of the movie.
Two Scoops Of FAIL in every DVD case by Harry Weinstein	May 4th, 2008 02:03:43 AM
This looks like a great big pile of shit. I saw a still with Robo-Chim Chim eating a banana. This is, of course, wrong for any number of reasons. I can handle a robot monkey; just don't insult my intelligence by throwing bananas into the mix. Fuck this, I'll watch THE LITTLE CARS 2 instead.
The new animation looks cheap? by Captain Mal	May 4th, 2008 03:01:31 AM
Good lord, the animation on the original series was absolute shite. It was, what, 5 fps? The new series may be crap (just like the old one), but the new animation is at least as good as the old series, if not better. Devvin Faraci is an ass, but the guy's right about nostalgia blinding people.
What is this shit? by Mace Tofu	May 4th, 2008 03:32:26 AM
Just give us a DVD Boxset of all the original cartoons with both American and Japanese tracks/edits. Why waste the $ on this pathetic crap and didn't they already fail at the animated redux of Speed Racer? I can feel the suck just looking at the DVD cover.
Snake by NudeandAroused	May 4th, 2008 01:32:11 PM
I hope Snake is in the movie.
Wow. by Stunt_Lime	May 5th, 2008 12:18:54 AM
What the hell happened to nickelodeon? It used to be a pretty original station. I was a big fan of Are You Afraid Of The Dark and other shows when I was a teen. Ah well. Another one bites the dust.
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! by tme2nsb	May 5th, 2008 12:58:38 AM
Someone had to say it.
I will check it out by Dazzler69	May 5th, 2008 06:53:11 AM
Probably a crapfest. But who knows. I hope they keep it serious enough.
