Speed Racer
Child, Parenting, Videos May 9th, 2008My car-crazy boys have watched CARS from Disney over 400 times, not exagerating. They watch it every morning as if its their breakfast. Without it they can’t get on with the day. They watched it soooooo many times, they were actually narrating the same words as the characters throughout the entire show! And that was when Keatkeat was only 3 and Binbin was just 2!
Now, its worse, whenever Speed Racer’s trailer come on the TV screen, they would freeze , eyes completely glued to the squarish box that flashes rainbow colours of high-tech racing cars zooming every where and when the 15 seconds shots are over, their active self comes back alive again. Its like as if there is an ON / OFF switch on them. Its really insane.
Not that I’m against it, it just amaze me at their unbelieveable passion towards those four-wheeled thingy and neither Allan nor I go mad over automobiles, wonder who they inherited that from?
Do you have boys? Are they such cars-fanatic?

My son is a Cars fanatic! He actually wore out the Cars DVD by watching it so often, we had to buy a new one.

*laugh* ours was so worn out too, that the perky voice of Lightning McQueen became an Old Draggy voice….

Oh yes! My boy is a car fanatic too! Not only him, daddy too! When we go shopping at toys departmental stores, 2 of them will be ‘stuck’ at that section. My boy already requested to watch the show! But I”m not sure the rating for the show…

No cars for the boys.. they are not crazy about it even though they have seen the show.
It is trains for the elder boy and buses for the baby

LZmommy, sure! its an honour. You are on my ‘Check them out’ already….
I think the rating is PG. I don’t think I’m gonna bring them to the theatre, I’ll be BROKE if I had to bring them there for 400 times! *laugh* so gonna go get DVD…when its out.

my boy is still too young to tell, but my 2 girls were barbie’s fan. They too will watch the same old disc many times over. Caught them re-enacting the scene too!

okay, this is one craze i can TOTALLY UNDERSTAND!!
Happy Dot had been crazy over CARS too.
watched it every spare moment he have,
and every night,
before he sleeps,
he would scream for it till i had it on.
i watch it so much with Happy Dot,
that once,
i dreamed of CARS too!!
