G-Force!

From iwatchstuff, "While the Wachoswkis work to get Speed Racer across the checkered flag (by that I mean get completed, using a clever racing reference), the folks at Imagi at dutifully working on another old anime adaptation, Gatchaman. For those who have forgotten, this is the one where they're dressed like birds.

The production company has revealed some concept art from the film, and though it does not include teenagers dressed as birds, it does highlight scenes of giant robots attacking a city (Neo-Tokyo? I think it always is) and more.

Between spoonfuls of an unidentified substance, Mr. Harry Knowles was kind enough to rip all the images from the Flash page and post them here with some more information. Cheers to you, sir."

G-Force is funny. It's only a few steps up from Speed Racer in terms of production value, but WAY more interesting in terms of content. The bad guys had an amazing menagerie of humongous robot animals.

Funnier still was Battle of the Planets, the name given to the imported eps when I was a kid. A ton of too-violent footage had been removed from nearly every episode, then filled out with footage of a robot named "7 Zarc 7" farting around some control room somewhere. Since he was dropped in, he never interacted with the characters except occasionally via monitor.

Also, the short member of the team had this loony speech impediment.
