Vroom! Vroom!.... Get ready! - Get set! - Now! - "Go! Go! Go!" with Speed Racer!!

Written and produced by Japanese cartoonist, Tatsuo Yoshida - Speed Racer (from 1967) is actually a very enjoyable pre-CG Anime series from Tokyo, Japan.

This 6-disc set presents (for your viewing pleasure) all 52, full-colour episodes from this fast and furious TV program which was specifically aimed for the amusement of the young (and the young-at-heart).

With the action always set in high-gear - Speed Racer is the name of a car-crazy 18-year-old boy who dreams of driving his beloved, super-powered, white Mach-5 in professional races all around the world.

When the going gets tough and the menacing villains strive to keep Speed from the finish line - You can be sure - Our youthful hero always finds a way to make it through to the end.

*Note* - In 1977 - (cartoonist) Tatsuo Yoshida (45 at the time) died of liver cancer.
