When I was a kid, my best friend John and I would get in from school and watch Speed Racer. It was a fun cartoon with racing, good guys and bad guys, a fun girl, a kid and of course, a monkey!
Basically, Johnny and I were addicted to this show.
Then in the 90's a group called Alpha Team made a remix LP with sound bites from Speed racer and yes, it got a little racy...nonetheless, it peaked interest in the cartoon again.
Now some of the guys that brought us the movie The Matrix have made it into a movie due to hit theaters in May, 2008. The cast includes Emile Hirsch, Christina Ricci, John Goodman, Susan Sarandon, etc. Matt Fox from Lost plays bad boy Racer X. Below is the link to the trailer...

Do you have a favorite cartoon or book that you'd like to see made into a movie?

I personally dislike this rising trend of old-school anime being turned into American movies. I'm extremely wary about the Speed Racer movie.
