Turbo

A snail who competes in Nascar and who’s guaranteed to be the fastest. I mean this is totally silly even for a fairy-tale for children. Anyways, I thought the arrogant racer would be based on Vincent Cassel, but he wasn’t. Surprisingly. Nevertheless, I can’t deny this movie has a pleasant atmosphere. The hour and a half passed by pretty nicely… but the story just wasn’t good. (10/18/2014)

A fun, relaxing cartoon with an emphasis on detail. An excellent gang of snails, great dubbing, tension, humor and even nerve-racking scenes. After the excellent Rush I was pleased to return to the circuit, this time in Indianapolis. If you don’t like racing with Turbo will find this hard to chew, but what is crazier than a snail racing against the fastest machine on the planet? White shadow! (11/02/2013)

A story that's incredibly ordinary in terms of plot, an animated film that bets on an outsider becoming a star, only to be kicked in the rear by another star, this time a racing one. Then, he stands on his own, or rather on his own slimy muscle in this case, showing everyone that even a snail can handle tough races. The nice setting and quirky characters don't guarantee that you'll have a great film in front of you. You won't. This is deceiving to kids because even Americans aren't able to come up with an original plot, but just rely on likable characters. (01/16/2014)

Of course, the target audience are mainly kids, but the vast majority of animated movies also have some sort of an added value, something that even adults can enjoy. This was just an hour and a half of nothing but boredom. The trailers gave a lot of the story away, but I didn’t realize that it was pretty much it. The story is predictable, none of it is original, the jokes are almost non-existent and, even though the cast is stellar, I expected a lot more of them. Just an easily forgettable movie, barely worth 2 stars. (11/02/2013)
