    This is one of my absolute favorite Christina Ricci roles. Also, there’s something to be said that this is one of the rare cartoon to live action adaptations where the movie is more colorful than the source material.

      Wait Christini Ricci is in this? She was like one of my childhood crushes. Definitely gonna check it out.

      I think I avoided it earlier because I didn’t know what to expect from the movie. It was the Wachowskis and I was like, I don’t want to ruin the Matrix pedestal I put them on. I think my friend said to me, “dude it’s just speedracer, you shouldn’t be having that high of expectations”.

        Totally gorgeous movie that’s a great example of the Wachowskis just having fun with film. It feels like the Saturday morning cartoon it’s aiming to replicate. The low expectations thing is less about quality and more about story not being a central focus like their other works.
