I loved Speed Racer the movie. It was all kinds of entertaining, but this DVD release is pitiful. I'm afraid to open it because I may want to return it given that the little sticker about the digital copy on the front tells some disappointing news. There are barely any extras. What's that about? I know there has to be all sorts of goodies they could have released with it but they're not going to. Not yet anyway. WB has surpassed even Disney's level of greed because in addition to the lack of actual extras, according to the sticker on the front of the copy I bought the Digital Copy (which you have to get *separately* which will take more time and "additional charges apply") won't work on anything Mac. Windows Media all the way, apparently. Lame since WM has given me tons of trouble. One of many reasons I switched to Mac. I shouldn't be surprised thought. WB was the one who got the bright idea to make more money by selling a 2 disc version of Harry Potter with all the extras and a movie only version and then charging an arm and a leg for the extras we used to get for a reasonable price. As I said, I loved the movie Speed Racer, but I'm tempted to take it back and not purchase it at all in protest of Warner Brother's and their growing greed. Disney was never this bad.Read full review

I really like the product filled with excitment and for only 2.00 you cant complain.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bit silly, but ideal for kids or juvenile adults! I enjoyed it, as did numerous 5 - 10 year olds. Animation and actual footage go together well.
