His name, Americanized, became Speed Racer.His adventures centered on his powerful Mach 5 car, his girlfriend Trixie, his little brother Spritle, Spritle's pet chimpanzee Chim-Chim, his father "Pops" Racer, and his mysterious older brother, Racer X, whose real name was Rex Racer.For American consumption, major editing and dubbing efforts were undertaken by producer Peter Fernandez, who likewise not only wrote and directed the English-language dialogue but also provided the voices of many of the characters, most notably Racer X and Speed Racer himself.Fernandez was also responsible for a rearrangement of the theme song's melody, written and composed by Nobuyos#ClassicTV #ClassicAnime #ClassicCartoons #SpeedRacerView all 1,057 comments
