I'm going to pass you. - Taro Kitano [Posted on 2008-05-31]
Our son LOVES Hot Wheels. We rented the World Race movie for him when he was 3. We all watched it. At first I was concerned about the message it might be sending (I think someone else refered to Vert as a spoiled military brat), but afterwards, I was very pleased. I also liked the 'safety' aspects of the movie (always buckle up, wear a helmet, and the importance of working as a team, etc.).
We couldn't wait until the other movies made it to the shelves. We immediately decided that it was a movie we were going to have to buy or constantly be renting it.
The Acceleracer movies (1-4 + the World Race for a total of 5 movies), although good, are not as good as the first one, especially for the audience age range that will be seeing it. I don't like the change in the presentation. It's too dark (scenes and characters). Some of the voices changed as well. The 1st Acceleracer movie has a character who's brother died in a race. They never really go into it far enough for a young child to understand and it didn't need to be in there. Plus, you also have the dark almost evil side of Mark Wilde. It is over the top compared to his character in the World Race. The only saving grace about the Acceleracer movies was that our son was older by the time they came out. So, I could help explain the problems to him better.
All that said, all the movies are good. The World Race is, by far, the best. Our son is 7 1/2 now and STILL asks to watch it.

Mindless entertainment [Posted on 2008-06-01]
The dialog is inane but the sound and visuals are pretty cool. If your over four this DVD will make you want to jump out the window. However, my son loves it and will watch it over and over. The positive side is that it encourges building Hot Wheels track. Great entertainment for a little kid and it also has a positive message about responsibility and looking out for one another.

My son says hotwheels are the greatest.... [Posted on 2008-08-27]
I had to buy him all the DVDs for his Christmas and he was thrilled with this one plus others. He still watches them and I enjoy them myself as a 38 year old other. The color and graphis are amazing!

We've had it for years..... [Posted on 2008-10-03]
