go speed racer go!

I went looking for this since they're releasing an American movie version of the series. By no means am I anticipating on watching the movie, I mean, look at the trailer!

But how damn brutal was that for a cartoon!
As a kid the only thing i noticed was
a). how ridiculously fast and annoying the dialogues were,
b). too fast i didn't understand a word of the storyline and
c). I like the monkey.
Next thing you know speed racer kicks every bad guy there is blocking his way and shoots himself to the finishing line of the race every single ending of the show. As to how he succeeds every time, truly a mystery beckoned to leave you in shock and awe.

What i did understood are the giant mouths hung open in mid-air when they are in shock. I mean its a fantastic expression. It's this giant `O`, it reminds you of those faces in a carnival game where the objective is to throw in a ball through the mouth. It happens repeatedly in the episodes even over the most irrelevant things. Or how they run in only two movements every 3 frames or something. But its an 70's anime, so its forgivable.

But how is it i didn't notice this guy brushes off other cars on the road and lets them blow up into Nagasaki bomb with ease and no guilt at all?! unbelievable! Hey dude, how about teaching children to win honestly huh?!
Come to think of it most of my favorite childhood cartoons are extremely violent. Tom and jerry for instance! goodness. That cartoon is non-stop violent.
I was thinking of showing my niece my favorite cartoons but now that I've been noticing how ridiculously heartless the stuff on tv are right now, I'm having second thoughts.

I'm scared...
