Cartoon Network was a part of our growing up. I can’t remember a day after school when I didn’t watch Cartoon Network. After so many years, those cartoons are moving onto big screens which bring up those old times we spent watching them. Speed Racer was one of my favourites. I loved it! Who can forget the opening theme song when speed racer jumps out of the car, freezes and the camera pans 90 degree or Mach 5 doing stunts like jumping ahead of racing cars, cutting down obstacles with rotary blades at the press of a few buttons on the steering wheel. It was insane. And Chim-Chim and speed racer’s brother duo hiding in trunks busting bad guys and talking incredibly fast. I saw this Speed Racer movie trailer. They have made it look futuristic. At least they stuck to the same car and also they have the same ‘chuck-chuck’ sound effect when the car jumps.
