A slow loris hero longs to be a racing driver and his dreams take him everywhere from an A-ha video pastiche to a bewildering Brexit satire
Most animated features are designed to be exported to countries all over the world, the voice track redubbed for each local market to add flavour and ensure the kids don’t have to read subtitles. Likewise, having the characters incarnated by talking animals (a tradition dating back to the earliest days of animation), is another handy way to deracialise the material. This way, anyone anywhere watching the same movie can relate to the heroic dog or rabbit or whoever as they go about learning about the value of family or the importance of friendship in a fantasy landscape that bears little resemblance to our actual planet.
This one, apparently a multinational effort judging by its end credits and production companies, weirdly both conforms to and breaks those rules.

Car racing has always found its appeal among cinema goers, and particularly in fans of animation, with the success of titles like “Cars”, “Turbo” “Redline” etc proving the fact in the most eloquent fashion. Apparently, it turns out that animation can capture the speed needed for the genre, as much as the sci-fi elements usually incorporated in these kinds of films. “Rally Road Racers” is definitely among those titles.
“Rally Road Racers” review is part of the Submit Your Film Initiative
Young Zhi and his need for speed (pun intended) has always deemed him a pariah in the Chinese village he has been living with his grandmother, since the prevalent pace in the area is the one of Tai Chi. However, when Vainglorious, the reigning champion of the rally car circuit, comes to the village with an eviction notice for everyone and demolition vehicles, Zhi's only choice is to bet...

Olivia O’Brien looked stunning in a busty top.
The American singer posed for the camera wearing a sheer, lace yellow top.
She opted to leave most of the top unbuttoned to show off her abs, except for the button at the very top.
O’Brien paired this top with some brown striped pants.
For accessories, she chose a gorgeous silver metal heart necklace and some silver hoop earrings.
Her loosely curled red hair made her green eyes with a brown smokey look pop and her nude lips.
