Speed Racer: The Next Generation

*Raph's Girl* · 05-03-2008, 06:36 PM

Now airing on Nicktoons! And since I don't have the channel I had to get the pilot movie the other way (well it IS on DVD...or will be....or whatever).

Anyways. This is set 40 years after the original (which aired 40 years ago...so...yeah).

Sprittle is now in his mid 40's and headmaster of the Racer Academy. An academy where young folk from around the world train to become the best racers in the world.

Speed has long since dissapeared for whatever reasons. His son X Racer (yes...that's his name) is currently the best student at the academy (he's even been in the Daytona 500! ).

Well in comes an orphan simply known as Speed. Turns out said orphan is the long lost son of Speed Racer.

I was impressed with the pilot. Pretty good.

ChimChim is now a hyper active robot always getting into mischief (he talks like R2D2). The villian of the show is a super rich guy who is also the major donator for the school.

The track at the school is kinda like the danger room in that it has a virtual reality set up so that each race is different (instead of going to the actual locations).

Other characters are:

Conor: Speed Jr's mechanic since he sucks at driving. He's very hyper and a MAJOR Speed Racer fan (he's got all the action figures). He built Chim Chim.

Lucy: The other part of Speed jr's team. She's a major work-a-holic

Annalise: A racer cuz well her daddy is the rich villian. She's a biatch and X's GF.

Jared and Jessie: Identical twins. They're X and Annalise's goons/sidekicks. Both are voiced by Michael Sinterniklaas!

Zile: Said rich vilian

Stan: He's kinda like Hun if Hun didn't have any brains....

Zile also has spies that resemble ninjas.....

And there's 2 Professors:

Prof Winn is I guess the token Asian on the show. She's got a wheelchair very similar to Prof Xavier's.

Prof. Aniskov: While Winn is a nice professor, Aniskov isn't....not liked much by the students.

The interesting thing is not once is X and Speed jr's mother mentioned...nor why Speed dissapeared in the first place.
