    I think Speed Racer was made to be like it’s anime origins, hence why the actors are so extra at times. Still is one of the best movies in my opinion. The fact that the cgi still holds up to this day is just amazing

    I'm so happy to see people who appreciate the jaw dropping VFX in speed racer. I love this movie and it blows my mind that it gets so little attention. That final race is visually brain melting amazing.

      It was too far away from the original cartoon. They were relying on nostalgia of the (at that point) 30 somethings that watched it back in the early 80s, but They changed it TOO much.

      @@ryanatorryanson9535 😂😂😂 If there is one anime that would need a revamp for the new age its Speed Racer. You say "too much was change" but I disagree. Honestly outside of the vibrant colors (obviously) I really don't see what else is so different.
      They had every main character including the damn monkey. Which (if I'm being honest) would be a hard sell in any movie but they somehow pulled it off without it being cringey or distracting. The movie also had the action filled racing with advanced high powered vehicles just like in the anime. Sure the movie is going to be an upgrade to the anime because the anime came out in the 60's.
      What people seem to forget when they criticize this movie is that the anime was as goofy as it was action filled and this movie gave us every ounce of that. So I'm not really understanding why you think so much was changed when they've clearly added everything from the original anime. I honestly think you have no idea what you are talking about but whatever.

    In case you guys actually read this: Thank you very very much for this mention. I remember the early FXhome days vividly and it was absolutely influentual to me growing up in that place. The inspiration was mutual and you‘ve obviously surpassed me in everything a long time ago. I still have a lot of the old fxhome videos on my harddrive and you were, even back then when you started, a huge inspiration.
    All the best wishes for you guys, your friends and families from switzerland (not austria). 😛

    I have been trying desperately for years to tell people how incredible Speed Racer is. After I saw it in the cinemas, I went to the box office and bought another ticket for the next session and saw it twice in a row. It's one of my favorite movies and no one in my immediate circles has any love for it for reasons that I have never been able to understand. I started to think I was crazy. I can't express how much it means to me, after over 10 years of holding onto this, to hear people gush over it in the way I have ALWAYS thought it deserves to be. You have made my flipping year.

    the thing freddie mentioned about the emotional energy being expressed through imagery is exactly why anime is so great sometimes, the japanese anime film, A Silent Voice, gives a really good example. near the end, the main character, who had basically shut himself off from the world begins to open himself up to the world again. in the film his connection being cut-off is built around the fact that to him, people's faces are blocked off with giant x marks on their heads, which also symbolises his tendency to even avoid looking at people directly in the face/eye which is also shown in the film. anyways, at the end, he covers his ears, because he's also "cut off" the sound of the outside world, and he slowly lifts his face, and drops his hands, at the same time the x marks on everyone's face around him falls off like a piece of paper, floating on the wind, and the moment is accentuated by the music lifting up to a crescendo of "victory" or joy, and the sound of the actual crowd around him also comes into focus, creating a cacophony of sound showcasing him reconnecting with the world around him in sooooo many different ways, showcasing his metaphorical mental and emotional changes, its honestly an incredibly brilliant piece of art.

    What Freddy says about the kinetic energy is so true especially with those two reference clips he threw in, it seems like movies with extremely well choreographed fight scenes want to show that fight scene and not jar the audience too much, with extreme camera moves where you really feel the weight and the impact.

    I love Speed Racer. I watch this movie religiously. Seen it at least 300 times because since I was young my parents would play this movie for me instead of baby shows like micky mouse ect. I know every line from the movie and tear up at the end of the movie like every other time I watch it. Speed Racer is a master piece

      It's such a good movie that keeps the fun cartoonish energy as the cartoon but also it's just visually stunning it gets slept on so much I show people it all the time they always love it

      I watched when I was 13 o 14, because as a child, I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF THE SHOW. I was surprised to fin the visual style to much cartoonish, and so much humour. The first time I saw it I was a little dissapointed. Then, I rewatched again and now I really love it. Such an underrated gem. One of most visually unique films I've ever seen

      See imo it's actually pretty dire initially, however the moment the dad character says 'ninjas? More like nonjas' the film grabs itself 5 stars of quality out of nowhere and becomes superb to the end.

    Speed Racer BluRay was a must when it came out.
    Haven't watched it in years ... might have to chuck it on again now after watching this

    For Freddie I would say no beard, but for the amazing VFX artists at Corridor Digital please react to the car chase scene from The Sorcerers Apprentice.

    We freaked out when we looked up and realized Glenn Close was speaking and screaming. We love you Freddie, the best rock and roll dad! Really looking forward to learning more about your VFX reel!
