My dad wrote about Speed Racer on his blog last week. Turns out he hated the movie. For me? I loved it. The best parts? Spritle and Chim-Chim! Spritle is Speed Racer’s younger brother, who, along with his pet chimpanzee, who responded to the name of Chim-Chim constantly got into mischief by hiding in the trunks of cars. Spritle and Chim-Chim dress in identical jumpsuits and striped hats and often perform identical physical actions. Lots of fun!!! Dad thought the movie was too long and I won’t disagree, but while he was dozing off I was enjoying the show. Check out a full review of the movie over on The Movie Review Blog.

Check out the original series on DVD:
