The hyperkenetic, candy-colored preview for the Wachowskis’ live-action/CG Speed Racer is now online, and I’d highly recommend checking it out. Truthfully, I haven’t seen a ton of the pioneering anime that it’s based on, but whether you’re an old-school fan or not, it’s worth checking out the Wachowskis’ take on it. Admittedly, the Wachowskis can be hit or miss—but when they’re on, man, are they ever on. And this—a crazy, wild kids movie that I’m pretty sure just invented like 200 brand new colors—looks pretty goddamn “on,” if you ask me. (I mean, fucking racecars and ninja stars and a wacky monkey! WHAT ELSE COULD YOU POSSIBLY WANT?)

The crappy YouTube is below, but trust me—do yourself a favor and watch it in HD here.

Also, it’s kind of weird how Christina Ricci looks kinda like Susan Sarandon.
