Even today, holds up very well
Both Hot Wheels Highway 35 and Acceleracers were such amazing movies and made 4-5 year old me so happy and wanting more and more of the car models. I personally, for some reason I don't know, prefer Highway 35. But Acceleracers is still very good and gives me so much nostalgia, even at 20 years old now. Definitely worth a watch, even if you are an adult that grew up with Hot Wheels, even if it wasn't around the early 2000's. It is not perfect in any way, but still so amazing for being a kid's series. Though Acceleracers in particular, even watching now, got disturbing and uncomfortable at times, it was dark in a good way. Especially dark for being something aimed towards children. That being said, even if you're an adult, you can still find enjoyment from it. Highly recommend both to kids and even adults who love Hot Wheels!

Best Animated Movie in 2003
Dear Lionsgate
This is absolute classic! Me, Road Runner, and other cars also in this series. The animation is still a classic. Unlikely Mainframe Entertainment. The one who made 1994 3d animated series "ReBoot". That also classic. I'm actually watching this 24/7. Time Tracker hate this movie because of my skin color. But still this is classic!

One of the most interesting movies I have ever watched
This movie is somehow a chaotic mess and a masterpiece all at the same time. It really brought me back to my childhood with its early 2000s look and feel (mainly due to the fact that was when it was from) however this also made it incredibly difficult to watch for the TWO HOUR RUN TIME. That is one of the most shocking parts of the movie. This movie feels like it could honestly be over in maybe 30 minutes if the pacing was appropriate but it is not in the slightest. The story jumps around continuously and this movie has more abrupt transitions and cuts than Jeffrey Bezos has dollars in his bank account. Every time I begin getting into a plot point a flaming tire flys across my screen and we're on to the next one. Building upon this the movie never really goes anywhere, with a lot of details added in that don't actually have anything to do with the story. The movie also has a very poorly implemented diversity aspect. Unlike some of todays movies that include poorly implemented diversity this one just has a very strange and somewhat unsettling feeling. For example, characters such as the drivers from Puerto Rico and, what I'm assuming is one of the African nations, feel overdone and a little awkward. Although honestly, this could really be said for every character which feels like a in one way or another an over the top stereotype of what they are supposed to represent. For example, the main character Vert feels like an overly done stereotype of the typical Californian surfer and the only woman driver seems to exist just as a companion to some of the other male drivers rather than a true standout character. Looking at this from a motorsports and Hot Wheel lover perspective is also incredibly difficult since, even though it is very obvious this isn't real racing, they stop on track every five seconds making the whole competition aspect of the story not fit at all. With all of the negatives out of the way though, I did actually enjoy parts of this movie. Even though I began playing a game where I refused to look at the remaining runtime of the movie about thirty minutes in, since I was tempted to stop watching every time I realized I was less than halfway through the movie, I had a good time and got invested in the plot every now and then. Honestly for little kids I'm sure this movie would be an amazing watch and actually for the older crowd out there I would still recommend a watch. However if you are part of that older crowd I would highly encourage you to play a drinking game or some other equivalent for every time you see a flaming tire used as a transition or a car be saved by a parachute when it flies off the track. Trust me the movie will become infinitely more better after applying that technique.
Good Kid's Movie
I grew up watching this movie. It's nothing more than a fun kid's movie selling hot wheels to kids. Plenty of cool environments and lots of unique cars make this movie a fun ride. Not as much a movie for adults, kids into toy cars will certainly be into hot wheels world race. Check it out!
Great Movie, definately not perfect though.
I've watched this movie since I was really young, i never really knew a lot of what was going on at the time but it's always a great watch. It has a lot of nostalgia tied to it and it's story is actually pretty good for something based on something as arbitrary as hotwheels cars.There's a few issues mainly with some of the animations and the dialogue but the movie was made in 2003 with 3D rendering that probably was a bit to get used to especially for a movie about Hotwheels cars. that aside it doesn't remove really a whole lot from the film itself. The main story is really great, the action is fast paced how much of racing should be and it really does well with the characters where a lot of them are extremely likable. It even has some great visuals with the orange colored track similar to what hotweels sets used and the acceleration wheels which they also used. It's also an entertaining watch and is worth giving it a try even with it being as old as it is.
Did you know
- GoofsDespite the fact that all 35 cars were modeled and are used, the same isn't true for all 35 drivers. In the scene where Tezla tells the drivers about the Wheel of Power the Esmeralda character model appears both in front of and behind Vert without having time to cross the intervening distance.
- Alternate versionsA promo DVD was released serves as an introduction to the characters returning from the World Race to the AcceleRacers. It focuses heavily on the first part of the World Race and glosses over much of the later driving. Kurt Wylde's involvement as Zed-36 is not mentioned, though there is some reference to Kurt's shenanigans. Gelorum and the CLYP robots are also introduced.
