[2/9] Speed Racer: The Next Generation (New Animated Series) Coming In May

[CRSone]

From SuperHeroHype:

According to Video Business, Lionsgate on May 6 will release Speed Racer The Next Generation: The Beginning, a 66-minute animated feature that sets up the new NickToons series of the same name.

The title will be broadcast on NickToons May 2, just prior to the DVD release. It also will benefit from awareness around the May 9 theatrical release of Warner Bros.' live-action Speed Racer feature from the Wachowski brothers ("The Matrix" trilogy)

But There Just A Few Slight Details That Separates this From The Original:

From TVSeriesFinale:

Lionsgate is announcing plans for its first animated series — a new version of Speed Racer for Nicktoons. Nickelodeon’s 24-hour cartoon channel has committed to run the initial 26 episodes starting next Spring. The new series will incorporate elements of the original while utilizing CG animation and more accurately synched voice-overs. Each set of three episodes will link together as “mini-movies.”

In the new series, a young Speed enters an elite racing academy. Once there, he discovers that he’s the son of the original and legendary Speed Racer — and that he also has a brother, the new Racer X. The siblings work together to stop thieves from stealing the Mach 6 (an update of the original Mach 5 speedster) and to solve the disappearance of their father.

The family ties continue with the senior Speed’s younger brother. Spritle is now the head of the racing academy and will be voiced by Peter Fernandez, the original U.S. voice of Speed. Spritle’s former monkey sidekick Chim-Chim will be a mechanical robot in the new show (not quite sure how that works). There’s been no mention of other original characters but I’d guess they’ll turn up.

the only thing i think is kinda cool is that characters from the original will be in it only older. BUT the fact that it's on Nickelodeon means it will more than likely suck.
Ren & Stimpy and Rocko's Modern Life >>>>> all Nickelodeon cartoons
