What it's about:
An underdog snail kicks into overdrive when he miraculously attains the power of super-speed. But, after making fast friends with a crew of streetwise, tricked-out es-car-goes, Turbo learns that no one succeeds on their own. So he puts his heart and shell on the line to help his pals achieve their dreams, before Turbo-charging his own impossible dream: winning the Indy 500.
What the critics said:
"A snail with the need for speed turns into the best animated film I have seen all year. We may have seen this all in Ratatouille but it still seems fresh as a slug."
- Pete Hammond, Movieline
"The prevailing sense with Turbo is that it's overly calculated while receiving none of the basic care and attention it requires in order to thrive."
- Curtis Woloschuk, Paste Magazine
"A derivative but nevertheless good-hearted movie that's peppered with enough clever touches to engage adults as well as moviegoers of the smaller, squirmier variety."
- Jen Chaney, Washington Post
"Has some appealing characters, a few laughs and then devolves into a predictable Tortoise and the Hare spinoff."
- Claudia Puig, USA Today
