Top Kids/YMMV

These things about Top Kids are subjective - not everyone will agree with all of them.

Harsher in Hindsight: While the teenaged Mercedes was shown in the film living an idyllic life of privilege with her doting father, things turned out for the worse for her come a few decades later where she was reduced to begging in the streets for food. She later died of bone cancer by the age of 39.
Hilarious in Hindsight: By the end of the film, Niki is shown alongside Eric and a young Mercédès Jellinek, whose name would be forever immortalized by the German automaker Mercedes-Benz. Lauda would later serve as a non-executive chairman of Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport, of which Lauda owned 10%.
So OK Its Average: Niki's appearance in the film is a standout, but he's an auto racer, not an actor. Not that he made a few more (voice) acting appearances like in the German dub of Cars though.
