This is heavy...

Calm down, I'm just making a non-serious Kanye joke. lol.
But to answer your question no and yes.

Hey Lynda Carter, I know yer Wonder Woman and all, and imma let you finish... but Beyonce is going to be one of the best Wonder Women of all time!

Of course when I say "doesn't look like Speed Racer" I mean, I don't want to be overwelmed with "flashy" sci fi and razzle dazzle on the screen. Keep it the sci fi aspect gritty but not so much up front.

What's bringing the budget up, I wonder? CG and special effects? Or do they actually want to shoot it in space? Haha.

As long as it doesn't look like Speed Racer and remains faithfully written, I'll be happy.

Why does that spacey kid have a pink sticky not on his chest?

I got the story pretty easily when I saw it, although much is left open for interpretation near the end. I felt the story was a bit rushed, like just when 9 wakes and within 5 minutes he gains sympathy for- and wants to rescue 2. My only theory for this is because <SPOILER> that they're from the same being, and there's some instinctual connection between them. </SPOILER>

Overall, I enjoyed it, and it's definitely worth a watch (despite the fast-paced story). I saw the original short film in theaters as part of THE ANIMATION SHOW tour a few years back, and loved it. The artwork is great and unique and that alone engaged me enough to enjoy this; BTW I wanna see some merch!

Well wasn't the original tale of Little Red Riding Hood already kind of gothic?

This makes me wonder why Clover even bothered to stop and eat the one camera guy in the movie. He's massive.

4th time's ALWAYS a charm, right? ;)
