It's up there. My kids absolutely love it, too. There's a great article about how Hollywood could have made more Speed Racer type films, but went with Iron Man instead:https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2018/05/speed-racer-10-year-anniversary-wachowskis/560177/ …

I still haven’t seen Speed Racer, to my shame, because this article is what made me want to see it. I’m pushing it up my watch list nowhttp://intoitpodcasts.com/podcast/2015/6/1/notes-toward-a-trans-speed-racer-by-rachel-edidin …

That is a *great* article, and I'll be keeping that reading in mind next time I see it. And yeah, one of the things that makes the film so great is that is so pure and direct and *really really* wants you to have as much fun and be as hopeful as the film is.

So much of the Wachowski’s output makes a lot more sense when you put a trans reading on it. Cloud Atlas got a lot of criticism at the time for stuff that in retrospect is pretty blatant trans experience coding

Hey remember how the big reveal at the end of Speed Racer is Racer X really is Rex but he cut himself off from his family so his presence wouldn't cause them further harm Culminating in getting surgery to permanently alter his appearance
