5.0 out of 5 stars Speed Racer: Desperate Desert Race, April 26, 2004

This review is from: Speed Racer [VHS] Desperate Desert Race / Japanimation (VHS Tape)

I really liked this episode because of the comic-relief provided by Spritle and Chim Chim, as stowaways. They follow Speed Racer to an Arab country, where he will participate in a desert race. The other reason I enjoyed this episode: Speed meets, and clashes with an arrogant, arab prince who will also compete in the race. But they both join forces, later, to fight the prince's unscrupulous associate who tries to take over the kingdom his father rules. This is a "feel-good" episode; one of my favorites; because Speed Racer is always putting his life on the line to help others. But, I was especially touched by the arab prince; because, despite his arrogance, he reaches out to save Speed's life first when Speed doesn't realize he's in danger.
