Speed Racer may change kids films forever.


Move over Pixar. If what Im hearing about the trailer for the Wachowski’s(Matrix movies) new Speed Racer film animation may take a back seat to live action pretty soon. This image released from USA Today pretty much gives an idea of what kind of hyper cartoon/quasi live aciton thing we will be watching next summer. I’m sure like the Matrix films they did before this will spawn lots of imitators. But for now I just want to see the trailer that’s supposed to hit the intertubes in the next couple of days.

UPDATE: The trailer is out HERE YOU GO The strike may hurt us next fall but the summer movie season looks fine.
