Speedy Gonzales Is The Latest Cartoon Remake Flop!!!
REALLY?
Because apparently there are no more fresh ideas in Hollywood, Looney Tunes character Speedy Gonzales is getting the CGI treatment in a live-action hybrid remake starring George Lopez as the voice of the fastest mouse in Mexico!!
Although there were concerns that Speedy is outdated and a racist stereotype, producer Anne Lopez claims that the 2010 reinvention will modernize the cartoon icon.
"We wanted to make sure that it was not the Speedy of the 1950s — the racist Speedy. Speedy's going to be a misunderstood boy who comes from a family that works in a very meticulous setting, and he's a little too fast for what they do. He makes a mess of that. So he has to go out in the world to find what he's good at."
Apparently that will involve bonding with a race-car driver.
WTF??
Where's Sylvester the Cat? This is a rare sentiment, but we LOVES that pussy!!
We're not going to hold our breaths on this one. It didn't work for our beloved Scooby-Doo, and it ESPECIALLY didn't work for Garfield or Alvin and the Chipmunks.
And those shiteous movies ALL got sequels!! WTF??
We think it's time to let cartoons just be cartoons before they destroy everything that was fun about the originals!!
What do U think?? Will U be going to see Speedy Gonzales??
Like Mother, Like Daughter!
Wait a minute. So you mean to tell me that they removed the cartoon from Boomerang (or was it Catoon Network) because it was "too racist" only to make it into a feature film?? WTF is wrong with people??? It's all about money, isn't it??
lame.
first to say first
what made Speedy good was his accent and his big hat and all the slow, lazy mice that were always amazed by his get-up-n-go~ why is that racist?
why remake something just to CHANGE it, instead of coming up with something creative yourself, huh?
my ex boyfriend has this tatoo on the right side of his chest…the tatoo is about as lame as he is…
ugh
I hate to agree with you Perez but your right on that this is bull how there remaking everything just like ba ba booey – said would it kill Hollywood to make up something original?
Lame and George Lopez as the voice I mean I like his show but give it a break he sucked in the Chihuahua and he really is the stereotype of latinos.
Nothing beats the Orginals period.
w0w they are making this film with gorge lopez but why all of the sudden this movies makings really i dont get it
I love Sylvester too! And the Tazmanian Devil:D
lol did everyone see perez on HBO's BIG LOVE? He was selling birds in mexico, to bad he got shot by the greens!
Sooooooooo, its gonna be a boy instead of a mouse?This will make it less racist? I see…..
this movie + george lopez = fail
"We wanted to make sure that it was not the Speedy of the 1950s — the racist Speedy"
oh god i dont know why but that made me laugh my fucking ass off
stop raping my childhood with these cgi remakes!!!

Didn't Scooby Doo and Alvin and the Chipmunks both do fairly well in theaters?
