The boys and I saw Speed Racer this weekend. Speed was ok but Jonny Quest is the best cartoon ever, period. When I was but a wee one a very long time ago, I remember watching Jonny Quest and dreaming one day of being Race Bannon. I wanted a little dog like Bandit. Speed Racer was cool, but doesn’t hold a candle to Jonny Quest. Space Ghost was close. Best episode? Not even close. The Robot Spy, where Dr. Zin uses a UFO to transport a giant spider-like robot to earth to try and get info on a para-ray gun that Dr. Quest had invented.

The Wachowski bros certainly put a lot of effort into making Speed Racer… but the movie overall looked and felt like a cross between anime, a kaleidoscope, that Flintstones movie, a video game and the Dukes of Hazard

I agree. Every time I saw John Goodman, I thought of the Flintstones movie. The little kid and his monkey were pretty funny though…
