Movie / 2004 / Animation / Comedy / Crime / Science Fiction

Dead Leaves

Why this pick

A compact blast of hyperactive, hand-drawn visual invention. Its breakneck momentum, wild designs, and gleeful disregard for realism make it a natural fit for Redline’s sensory overload.

Movie / 2015 / Action / Adventure / Animation / Anime / Fantasy

The Boy and the Beast

Why this pick

Less frantic but similarly muscular and colourful, with exceptionally fluid action and a heartfelt competitive bond. It channels Redline’s exuberance into a more character-led fantasy adventure.

Mind Game poster 03

Movie / 2004 / Adventure / Animation

Mind Game

Why this pick

For Redline’s fearless visual freedom: a deliriously inventive animated ride whose constantly changing style and emotional velocity favour pure momentum over conventional realism.

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time poster 04

Movie / 2006 / Anime / Drama / Fantasy / Science Fiction

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time

Why this pick

Its racing-through-the-city set pieces and vivid summer energy offer a gentler counterpart to Redline, while retaining an exhilarating sense of movement and a warm human core.

Tekkonkinkreet poster 05

Movie / 2006 / Action / Adventure / Animation

Tekkonkinkreet

Why this pick

Its dense, aggressively stylised city and elastic action share Redline’s devotion to hand-crafted motion, though the mood is more bruised and urban than celebratory.

01 / THE STORY

A little about the film.

Every five years, an exhilarating race called Redline is held, and the universe's most anticipated competition has only one rule: that there are none. Racers are pushed to their absolute limit—a feeling that daredevil driver JP knows all too well. Having just qualified to participate in Redline, he is eager to battle against the other highly skilled drivers, particularly the beautiful rising star and the only other human that qualified, Sonoshee McLaren. But this year's Redline may be far more dangerous than usual—it has been announced to take place on the planet Roboworld with its trigger-happy military and criminals who look to turn the race to their own advantage. However, the potential danger doesn't stop the racers; in fact, it only adds to the thrill. Relying solely on his vehicle's speed, JP prepares for the event to come, aiming to take first place in the biggest race of his life.
