Thanks so much for watching! What are your thoughts on Hot Wheels: AcceleRacers? What would you have wanted to happen in a 5th movie if the series continued? Let me know!

Thanks again for shedding light on Acceleracers! We as a fandom can’t believe how far it’s come from only just 5 years ago. Real life Teku Deora 2 at live events and more!

Taro's 2nd run in the water realm was my fave part of the series. Perfect blend of music and tension. As a kid , I was amazed by his driving. No hyperpods, no accelechargers! Nothing but skill!

It's finally here. I feel like I could cry. ACCELERACERS finally getting some attention outside of the Hotwheels community. I'm so happy right now man. This series holds a special place in my heart and is forever GOATED

Loved voicing Vert

This series made my life. It brought me into cars, mechanics, and my hobbies. I make custom Acceleracers diecasts for the still VERY active community and even 3D print props. Cant say it enough this series made me who I am. Thanks for bringing it back to the light!

One of the reasons this series stuck out to me so much as a kid was how dark it was, the main protagonists are part of two rival gangs, several characters from the previous movie are dead, and Kadeem gets full on FNAF-style scooped on screen, it's crazy.

A childhood classic. This series is GOATED and will forever have a special place in my heart.

I cant wait for Vulkens Fog Realm fan-film to come out. I’ve been helping out with the sound, and it is a sight to behold, and beautiful that so many can come together to keep the story alive all these years later.

It still stings a ton that they cancelled the series, especially at such a massive cliffhanger. At least finish the story before shelving it! Poor Kadeem. He's one of the nicest guys in the series, and yet he suffers the most. There is a part of me that hopes he survived the fall, but as he said, "Kadeem is gone" so maybe death is probably for the best to end the suffering. I was shocked to learn how huge the community is even now, making fan games, mods, and other things. I was so excited that they included cars from this series into Hot Wheels Unleashed (I need to play the 2nd one), and you had fans recreating the designs of the cars and realms in the game. I'm glad to see the community going. Oh, and the soundtrack is awesome. Can't forget that. RIP Kirby Morrow. You'll be missed.

The perfect example of a series taking itself so much more serious and dark than you’d expect for something made to sell toy cars. I love these movies so much and rewatch them every year. I also used to own the surprisingly in-debt and obscure card game.

AcceleRacers was the greatest Hot Wheels Animation that was Godlike in my childhood!

with hotwheels unleashed showing more and more love to acceleracers it really makes me happy since finally after years of neglect the Fandom and love for the series is being recognized by Mattel and hopefully if hotwheels unleashed acceleracers dlcs do good maybe we'll get a remastered version with a proper ending^^

Every year, in January I rewatch Acceleracers. I know the script of all 4 movies and 16 mini movies by heart. I absolutely love this series.

I love hot wheels acceleracers! Massively underrated and still hate that we never got a proper finale. Can only hope that they revisit the property again someday! A man can dream ☺️

Throughout the series almost everyone refers to everybody by nickname or their last name. Brian is constantly referred to as: Kadeem

It’s good to see Acceleracers gettin covered, I really loved how the characters are but I still feel bad for Brian Kadeem’s character since he was a cool character including his car

I may be looking at this series with rose tinted glasses, but I genuinely love this series and although the animation of the characters don’t hold up all that well, I love the characters and their development throughout the movies, the different worlds were really cool to look at and it was awesome when you realized they reached different lessons about racing. I’m glad this series is getting a little more attention now.

I’ve spend over 15 years trying to block out this cliffhanger and now it’s all coming back. I feel like Danny Devito. I don’t like it, I don’t like to think about it. It still hurts. Great video thanks for bringing back the memories.

I have a feeling that if Mattel decided to continue the Acceleracers movies after Ultimate Race, they would've featured the realms from the card game (Reactor, Wind, Chrome, Solar, Desert etc.).

Now THIS is what for me into this Hot Wheels movie series. I actually enjoyed it and I remember rewatching them two years ago on KZfaq and I still enjoyed them years later.

never once in my life have I called kadeem "brian". this is the first time I've heard him referred to as such

I'm sick of hearing about great shows getting cancelled for not being supported enough. But that may be the first time I ever heard about something being cancelled for being way too good. lmao

One of my favorites! Still holding out hope they bring it back at some point!

I love this series to death, I've listened to the soundtrack for years, I grew up loving cars and driving due to these movies and my father being a Mechanic, as some fans may see, it even inspired the name of my youtube channel, Synkro, this series will always be special to me and I to this day collect cars from the series even in repaints and go back and watch the movies every now and then, even have future plans to get my own personal car styled after Synkro at least in livery.

Thank you so much for covering this series! To all my Acceleracers, the story is not over. We will indeed help the story drive to survive!

I liked this series better than World Race because the time limit added a whole new level of stakes. The tracks in World Race look dangerous but nothing in those places is actively out trying to kill the participants.

Loved this series growing up, had all the movies on dvd and would just play them nonstop 🔥

This was the good shit, sad that was cancelled on that cliffhanger... PS. Shirako is the GOAT.

This series was goated. Pork chop & Monkey played chicken with that one sweeper was awesome

This series definetly had such a hard cult fans especially how amazing Lore, characters, and cars Also, some fanservice in Hotwheels Unleashed brought to treat yourself, even tho the series ended in cliffhanger.

i was like 8 when i got the movies and the hotwheels. unfortunately i lost the original DVDs when moving countries, BUT now that I am 27 i still have all my acceleracers hotwheels and I display them in my set up with such joy and pride.

i think it's unbelievable how well acceleracers holds up as a story. It's just so _real_ as far as characters, their relationships, and their challenges go, that it's genuinely good writing, worth revisiting all these years later. I sincerely wish we could've seen the series come to a proper end.

AcceleRacers was really awesome, it had a great mix of action and personal stakes. I understand that there was supposed to be a finale, but I still think that the ending really closed up enough loose endings and let the audience imagine what would happen next.

Biggest cliffhanger hanger in cinema history

Man, AcceleRacers was really good, and this is from someone who's not into Hot Wheels. Even after all these years, the lesson of Vert winning the last race because he used his own skills still resonates with me to this day.

Heck yeah, I remember owning one of the dvds. So I only got see part of it. Leaving it basically on a cliffhanger, until years later when it randomly popped into my head and I watched the whole thing here on KZfaq.

This and the movie were my childhood. I watched the movie about a dozen times and had one of the hyper-chargers as a toy.

Yes this is what we need right now. Decently sized KZfaqrs talking about hot wheels acceleracers! Because this franchise is kinda on life support. So we need more people to spread the word, of the greatest racing show of all time!

Wish we could get a finale to this series

This has been a fever dream. I would have never imagined someone to shed light on a forgotten series.😢

This show is so GOOD it has no right to be this good but it is and I think it stands the test of time. The characters the driving the cliffhanger it’s all done masterfully and we never got an ending

This series deserves a remaster and continuation. "Acceleracers becoming more popular than hotwheels..." is a silly logic, its more successful than Mattel imagined and that scared them? They shot themselves in the foot as Fast and Furious is now hoisting the flag of fantasy racing when Acceleracers could have been a giant but the could-have-been is what Mattel didn't see the forest for the trees.

Vert's dad being a silencer is set up in a glance at his brief case that has a purple car key in it. It's a blink and you'll miss it kinda thing.

I still watch AcceleRacers every so often, well into my adulthood. It's just such a good series.

These were my fav as a kid. And honestly id watch em again as an adult. They still seem pretty solid and fun. With all the live action reboots going on rn, makes me think how cool it could be if they gave it that treatment.

A fun fact in Spanish translation it always hinted that for the accelerons : the wisdom is a circle ... What you receive you must bring back , and the acceleron at the end making an extra ring for the wheel it must be to open the pathway to the accelerons again not only that but for vert to tesch the rest pf the drivers what really racing is for the accelerons

Imagine a series being so good it makes the property holders worry

Acceleracers gang report! The following drivers will enter the realm:

Literally brought up this childhood series to my friends yesterday and bam I now see you uploaded videos for it. I hold it insanely close to my heart and I thank you for bringing it more attention

I loved these movies, i have all 4 of them on dvd and marathon them once or twice a year. I’m sad that it got left open ended but i still love it all the same.

Thank you so much for the Highway 35 and Acceleracers videos. I've said it before, but it's always a treat to see more people shine a light on and give the series a try.

This was my childhood, i made this franchise my whole personality

THANK YOU! this has been a series stuck in my head since I was like a toddler, it came on Cartoon Network and NONE OF MY SIBLINGS REMEMBERED IT even though we got all excited and watched it together. I thought it was a fever dream but Im like 90% sure this is it

people always say they got into cars because of three british guys, a red talking car, or an orange supra, but for me it was HotWheels Acceleracers

I still have my original DVDs of this show, I need to rewatch and finish the show

can we all agree that these movies had some really good f'ing writing behind it

I loved going through the bonus features and learning about the cars and learning about the card game. Flathead Fury is a personal favorite and great to seeing people making custom cars and games for acceleracers. in a way it is like Bionicle to Lego a golden era of good memories and great stories. A franchise truly never dies if people remember it and love it from childhood and Beyond.

New Mattel marketing team: Acceleracers is outgrowing Hot Wheels and it’s gonna hurt sales Kid me: *buys hot wheels in bulk every time I see one of the movies*

Great video! You really touched on what made this series so enjoyable to us.

That’s two out of my childhood’s three racing shows covered by you. Amazing work yet again. Just have to do NASCAR Racers now and you have all three.

what a throwback. the biggest thing i always remember is how tense it got every time the sweeper truck appears and chases them around. reminded me of the sonic adventure truck chase

Dudes been goin absolutely crazy this Christmas thank you brudda🫡

I remember watching these a lot with my little brother when we were kids, getting the dvds from the local rental. Memories of it are murky at best, but that theme song is practically unforgettable.

My friends and I were big fans of the movies when they aired that year. We all went to the same latchkey and we would create our own hot wheels tracks that would have some semblance to the movies. As an aspiring writer and comic artist, this series holds a special place in my heart for its racing action and the dynamic connectivity of its characters. My hope for the live action Hot Wheels movie is that it takes some cues from this series. Great vid

Dont forget the mystery of ballistik being crashed in the swamp realm

All these years later, it still amazes me how shockingly good this series was. If i had a nickel for every time an extremely well made, early CGI series ended on a massive cliffhanger, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't alot but it's weird that it happened twice.

WOOOOOO YEAH BABY THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT WOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I own all five Hot Wheels movies on CD, they where my childhood and I still watch them once a year. I can quote almost every scene from the Acceleracers and nobody believes me when I tell them how amazing they are. So damn good, so much fun, so many memories.

Acceleracers was and still is my favourite racing media. Period. Such unapologetic rule-of-cool is unseen nowadays

Speaking of Acceleracers, remember that in a few days, there will be an Acceleracers expansion for Unleashed 2 Turbocharged, so get ready.

Amazing video! Glad to see my favorite series coming back to present! I recommend anyone who hasn’t watched the series to watch!

I loved this show! Brings back great memories and good times as a kid. Dope vid man🔥🙏🏽

I was doing a deep dive into acceleracers last week and now behold this video coming out heck ya

the day has finally come. I thought accelerracers was long forgotten and seeing this video and so many others shows me it is not forgotten. I also want to wish everyone well and leave the best of regards to the fans who have passed away over the years.

I uesd to have the DVD for the first movie i used to be obsessed with acceleracers

I remember watching all these was a shame it ended . I'd love to see a video on Nascar racers

I loveddddd this show as a kid. I still have them all on DVD as a 30 yr old. I remember playing with my hot wheels while this was airing on TV. Good times, Jordan.

Absolutely loved AcceleRacers. This was an amazing video filled with lots of correct information. Thank you so much for shining light on these movies

i remember have all the dvds of this series, i didn't have ideia of anything, but i just did love it

This made my night! I didn’t think so many people would remember Acceleracers. My goodness they were the best of my childhood

I loved this series as a kid and actually have the ps2 world race game. im glad you covered what happened to it and am sad it never got a continuation

Jordan thank you! You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting for you to talk about Acceleracers!

Metal maniac and teku feels like a rivalry between metal culture and techno/trance/y2k rave culture

I had all of the 4 dvds back then when I was just a kid & even now both Taro's water realm speedrun & the entire space realm sequence from the ultimate race still lives rent free in my head

I loved watching this series growing up, both the movies and the mini episodes released, and I hate that they weren't allowed to give it a proper conclusion. While I won't hold my breath I do hope that one day they can give it the conclusion it deserves.

Thank you for bringing attention to these amazing movies. They aren’t perfect, but for a story revolving around racing they did an incredible job. The foreshadowing, dealing with actual loss of characters and seeing them adapt because of it, and keeping Tezla more mysterious than ever is always fascinating to me. One of the few childhood shows I can keep watching and always be impressed by it

I'm honestly surprised there aren't more shows/movies/games like acceleracers. Tricked out cars racing in fantasy realms sounds like an objectively good idea, yet the idea itself has barely been tapped into.

I still listen to the official soundtrack, there was no reason for some of those songs to go as hard as they did, especially the rap music, but i'm immensely grateful

Acceleracers is like the last remaining movie/series I have from my childhood before I started growing up. Kids Next Door, Highway 35, Bionicle, Power Rangers. All the shit from the first 2000’s decade. Things were never the same, but thank god that these movies exist on KZfaq and online for free, no catch

What excited me about Highway 35 and Acceleracers is what re-ignited my HW collecting. I have around 15-18 Highway 35/Acceleracer cars in my collection. I also started collecting Fantasy HW Cars that are close to the same models in those movies. Usually I only collect real world model HW but this opened up a new Avenue of collecting. I hope Mattel renews the series. Great reporting!👍

Love this series so much!

Ahhhhhhhh This is such a great series, i'm so happy you are giving it some love!! Thank you Jordan

God i loved this series

Man I was so pissed that this series was canceled. I loved the Racing drones and the Teku/MM conflict along with their own, but the introduction of the Silencerz was just immaculate they just stole your attention from everyone on the track, plus, the revelation that Vert's dad was the real mastermind behind the Silencerz was just insane only not get anything after, like wtf.

i grew up on this & i still love everything about it 💯one of my all time favorites

YEEES been waiting for this! Always wanted a Sweeper toy as a kid

I’ve needed more of this series since it ended 😭

I loved collecting exclusively Hot Wheels cars as a teen. Instantly fell in love with the series when I first saw it and still enjoy it to this day. Despite CGI looking dated, the characters, their expressions and movements all feel very human. Great piece for car enthusiasts and soft sci-fi lovers. Thank you for covering the series!

loved this series as a kid but only had the ignition disc so i never watched the others until like last year when i found someone uploaded all up them on here and i was NOT let down
