• Not as bad as the man-child's would like you to believe

  I bought this for my 5yr old son and his sisters (6 & 8) & i watched it too, while i do agree on some points the previous reviews make i.e todays cartoons focus on slapstick comedy, they also don't follow any sort ofstory that kids today can come away with knowing they have learn-ed from a characters mistake OR from a character at the end of the movie chastising a child for running across the road or some other public child friendly message. In todays world we don't really need it do we, kids just like adults watch TV/movies to relax and have a laugh with parents/siblings. I for one don't want to have to pause a cartoon or at the end of a scene ask my kids a question about road safety or talking tostrangers as thats for another time & place.... Im sure most of you are just weirdo pony lovers or just hate it that you cannot watch visionaries or dungeons and dragons made in 2015.... there is always dvds/you-tube guys. Don't pi(s)(s) and moan about FUN because it just looks sad as feck.... go get la(i)d.

• Horrible!

  Turned it off after 10 minutes before it did permanent damage to my children. The characters are unsupervised nasty little children living in a town of lazy adults with clearly no interest in caring for these kids, the town or themselves. The creators fail to make it clear why 'children' are working alone in a garage at the beginning of the movie. The animation is gross, with dogs scratching fleas and snotty nosed children. It seems they set out to offend parents for some reason, and in our case succeeded! We seriously considered 'donating' all our children's hot wheels if this is the garbage they want representing their product. Wish I had a way of receiving a refund for my purchase, however, buying the digital copy makes that impossible. Hopefully this review will help others avoid making the same mistake.

  If I could rate this 0/10, I would. Much like the person before me said, I had a hard time going past 10-15 minutes of just the beginning of this trash. While I know some mothers love the non- violence of this film.. it also condones stupidity and tasteless bathroom humor. Just because it's for kids, doesn't mean it should be stupid. (This is why TV is bad now. It needs to change. I can watch cartoons from the 90s and not feel my intelligence insulted, why should it be different now?) I skipped the majority of this film and watched the ending- that's how bad it is. The ending made it even worse! That ending, in and of itself, is a train wreck. It made me so mad and I refuse to ever watch this movie ever again.. it made me basically hate what Mattel and Hot Wheels has turned into. Hot Wheels can do much better, and it did.. about 10 years ago World Race came out, followed by AcceleRacers. It had a good story, it had good morals, it had action and yes, a bit of violence (but not to the point of what most movies and video games have, it's far less actually). I have nothing bad to say about those movies. Go watch World Race and AcceleRacers if you have any kids 8-12 that enjoy Hot Wheels. Heck, you might even fall in love with the series yourself! (I still watch it and I'm 21.) "Wisdom is a circle, what you receive, you must give back"- Accelerons. I gained wisdom with AcceleRacers, so I am giving it back to you guys out there. Don't watch Team Hot Wheels! Live to drive, drive to survive!
