Welcome to the finale for our series on family films! We end it with what is probably the mother of all family films, the Wachowski's Speed Racer!

A flop when it came out (we know by now that hey, that doesn't determine a film's longevity), this film has rightly become somewhat of a cult classic. We explore what makes this sibling-directed visual feast what is sure to be a family staple for years to come.

We now have a website! Find the cast and more at
