PA The Wacky Races
« on: March 14, 2017, 03:34:37 PM »

Mark Sexton (co-writer and storyboard artist of Mad Max: Fury Road) was asked to re-imagine cars from Wacky Races, Fury Road style. Turned out pretty well!

I didn't see that cartoon much as a kid, very rarely managed to catch it. When I did though I was very intrigued.

These are great re-imaginings.
a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice.

I remember the show with very fond memories.
I even got the series on DVD for my kids and they loved
watching it too.

Wacky Races was awesome.

I really like these Mad Max style versions of them too, if anything they get better the further you scroll down.

What a great idea! I have very fond memories of the original Wacky Races cartoon series and seeing these re-imaginings really made me smile.  :)

Love the Slag Brothers one in particular. I could do a whole gang of them.

I used to love that cartoon - and I like the re-imagining done here - especially Pat Pending's design!
