Wacky Races Audience Reviews

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
TheLittleSongbird This is one of my favourite Hanna-Barbera shows, it is just really entertaining and funny. The concept was great, and while there are a lot of things repeated story wise the visual gags and dialogue were constantly a delight. Whether it was Dick Dastardly's asides or Muttley's priceless mumbles and facial expressions, there was always a lot to chuckle about. Coupled with the writing and visual gags are the crisp animation and delightful music. I also loved the characters, Dastardly and Muttley aren't just characters in the show, in most ways they are the show, they constantly make me laugh, and I have always loved Penelope Pitstop as she is really beautiful and sexy. Overall, a really entertaining childhood favourite. 10/10 Bethany Cox
MartinHafer When I was five, this was one of my favorite cartoons--along with the followup series involving Dick Dastardly and the flying machines. I watched most every episode and carried memories of it being a good show into my adulthood. However, as I grew, I also came to realize that the quality of the Hanna-Barbera toons of the 60s-70s were absolutely abysmal. So I was left wondering just how good were the Dick Dastardly cartoons? I loved them as a kid but now realized they couldn't have been quite as good as I thought.Well, a few years back, I had the chance to see some of them again on the Boomerang TV cable channel and was shocked to see just how terrible they really were. Not only were they very crudely animated, they simply weren't funny. But, considering I was only five, I guess I can be forgiven for having watched them. These wretched cartoons are only good for either very young kids who don't know any better or to be used in order to interrogate members of Al Qaeda--if they are shown this @#$&!! they are sure to beg for mercy and talk! This review is practically identical to the one I posted for the Dick Dastardly and the Flying Machines show. Both starred a lot of the same characters as well as horrendous animation and writing. To me they are practically the same awful show! Don't watch this unless you are a masochist.
ray-280 You had the Flintstones, which was essentially an animated version of the Honeymooners, and you had the Jetsons, which was essentially a futuristic version of the Flintstones. You had Bugs and Daffy, Tom and Jerry, Woody Woodpecker and Popeye and Bluto, but nothing comes close to the Wacky Races for originality.For the uinitiated, each week there is a "wacky race" to determine the "world's wackiest racer." A dozen cars participate, each with a unique characteristic. There's Dick Dastardly, and his sidekick, Muttley; Penelope Pitstop and her compact-on-wheels; Peter Perfect and his turbo-charged (and "symbolic") long-nosed racing car, and a host of other "Wackos" who became like an extended family of crazy uncles to a generation of youngsters.
plok253 Wacky Races is one of the best cartoons of the 60s. It contains a bunch of fairly silly racers who are all competing for being the world's wackiest racer. Each cartoon contains a lot of funny obstacles, many of which are created by the racer Dick Dastardly in car double zero. Often times Dick cheats and will create road blocks and such to slow down the other racers. In the end, he always ends up coming in dead last. This is a very inspired cartoon that is good for a laugh or two.
