DVD Reviews of Speed Racer - Episodes 1-11
DVD Review: Speed Racer (Episodes 1-11)......
Summary: 5 Stars
I remember this show back when I was a kid. I was an absolute nut over the show then. When I found out it was on DVD now, I had to get it to add to my collection of animation. Boy, am I glad I did. The old adventures that thrilled me back then, along with the sleek automotive: the Mach 5 was well worth waiting for on DVD. This first DVD collection contains episodes 1 through 11, which-basically-tells how Speed Racer came to be who he is. See, Speed Racer wants to become a professional racer, despite the fact his father doesn't want him to. When Pops quits his job after the company he'd worked for had declined the production of a modified engine for his new racing car, the Mach 5, he thinks of creating his own family owned company, Racer Motors. Speed takes it upon himself to obtain the money for Pops to produce this modified engine. Using his driving skills to do so, Speed decides to enters a race. Pops conceals his plans for the Mach 5's new engine on a windshield. When the company he worked for finds out, they go after Speed to get it back. Speed soon realizes that the Pops had hidden the plans on the windshield and fights to prevent them from getting it. He shatters the windshield so the company doesn't get it. Speed ends up winning the race but doesn't get the money due to the company's interference. So, Speed apologizes to Pops for this and, thus begins, the adventures of Speed Racer. I really love this first collection. If I had to pick a character, besides Speed, that I loved..it'd have to be Racer X. Him and his car, The Shoooting Star, were awesome.
Admittedly, you can tell the show was made a long time ago. It looks nothing like cartoons of today. Rightly so, as todays' cartoon are digitally done...instead of the cell animation of old. This might disappoint some of you out there who have recently seen Speed Racer(the motion picture) and are expecting this to be something newer. The vocal work is a bit dated as well but nothing to get upset about.
At any rate, I, personally, loved these old cartoons. They thrill me now just as much as they did then.
DVD Review: super fun DVD

Summary: 1 Stars
I thought this was the new live action movie that came out. It's a bad time to have this on sale. The unbox version also seems to have only 2 arcs. Maybe half of what you get on the DVD.
Bad deal in every way. Avoid this. I rented the Unbox for Tivo

Description of Speed Racer - Episodes 1-11
The world's favorite high-octane animated hero is back! Roaring into action aboard his trusty Mach-5, it's the intrepid young race car driver who sparked an international cult phenomenon: the one and only SPEED RACER! Now, for the first time ever, the first 11 episodes of this classic hugely popular "Japanimation" series are brought together in this special limited edition DVD. Turbo-charged with all of Speed Racer's trademark animated thrills, offbeat humor, unforgettable characters and cliff-hanger racing action, these collectible, specially remastered episodes are the stuff of every fan's dreams. So fasten your seatbelts - and join Speed, girlfriend Trixie, Speed's two brothers, one mischievous monkey, and an outrageous assortment of villains for one fast-lane, no-brakes, nonstop adventure after another! Ready...Set...Go, Speed Racer, Go!One of the first "Japanimation" series to air in the U.S., Speed Racer (Mach Go Go Go) debuted in syndication in September 1967. Eighteen-year-old Speed Racer wants to become a race car driver, but his father, automotive engineer "Pops" Racer, "blows a gasket" at the idea. Pops, who designed the amazing Mach 5, relents when Speed demonstrates his extraordinary driving skills. He embarks on a series of fantastic adventures that pit him and his friends against Skull Duggery, Snake Oiler, Mr. Wiley, and the Alpha Gang. With their wide chins, large mouths, and small eyes, the Speed Racer characters reflect the influence of contemporary Hanna-Barbara series, rather than the indigenous style the Japanese animation industry would later develop. Members of Gen-X who grew up watching the original show will enjoy this "collector's edition" that offers the first 11 episodes, a theme song sing-along, a villains' gallery, and an interactive demonstration of controls of the Mach 5. (Unrated: suitable for ages 6 and older: mild cartoon violence) --Charles Solomon
