Super Grand Prix

About This Movie

Super Grand Prix is an interesting piece from the early '80s, blending the thrill of racing with a youthful dream. It follows Sean Corrigan, who aspires to create and pilot his own Formula 1 car. The animation style is quite distinct, showcasing the flair typical of Rintaro's works. The pacing feels a bit uneven, reflective of its compilation nature, pulling from the 1977 series, Arrow Emblem: Hawk of the Grand Prix. It's got this charming earnestness to it, where themes of ambition and perseverance come through—especially relevant in the world of motorsports. The practical effects in the racing sequences, considering the era, do stand out, giving a raw feel to the excitement. Worth a watch if you're into classic anime and racing culture.
