Please to enjoy Fred Bred's fresh take on Speed Racer. Who doesn't appreciate a pop of color? A pop of humor? A pop of truth? Bred has re-imagined an icon of animation in a time that exists both in the past (as indicated by the nostalgic look/feel/color/composition/ text) yet completely in the present (as indicated by the sponsorship/use/appropriation of icon for capital gain). Speed Racer may just represent the ultimate productization of a mass media hero, yes?
