Turbo Reviews
The snail-eye view of burning up the racetrack at 200+ mph is thrilling; you'll think, 'Why am I getting this excited about an oxymoronic fast snail?' Finding one's bliss is magical!
| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 29, 2022
Closer in tone, spirit and achievement to Pixar's Cars, the earnest Turbo is content just to provide a lot of fun.

This genial animated adventure is, quite simply, one very cruisy joy ride for younger viewers.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 21, 2020
Continues the DreamWorks Animation move into A-list animated features.
| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 26, 2020
It's an entirely passable family entertainment, but I'd like to see DreamWorks really strive to be something unique and different.
| Original Score: B- | Jul 24, 2020
To tell the truth this is one you can seriously wait out until it's out on Blu Ray or VOD instead of trekking to the theater.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jan 11, 2020
Turbo wins the box office race this week, crossing the finish line first with humor and heart!!

The immediate comparison is Cars, but this movie is smarter and less coy about the adult-targeted humour.

If they would have trimmed it down a little bit it would be a wonderful movie that would stand the test of time...but I still think you would enjoy it.

What was in the water when the folks at DreamWorks Animation decided to make a 3-D digital feature about a snail who wants to race in the Indy 500?
| Original Score: C | Nov 29, 2017
There's the odd giggle and diverting adult support from Samuel L Jackson, Snoop Dogg and Paul Giamatti but the ideal audience age range here is knee high to grasshopper.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 6, 2017
Turbo is much stronger than Disney's Planes, and while parents may wonder if it's the right message to send youngsters that no dream is too big for the dreamer, Turbo is still a solid pick for family movie night.
| Original Score: B | Mar 30, 2016
The outcome is as predictable as the premise is outrageous in this crowd-pleasing 3D animated comedy.

Turbo is a very cute movie with lots of great animation and elements that the kids are going to love. It's just a bit hard to swallow.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 6, 2013
The animated races are fast and fun, the jokes are hip without being too snarky and the starry voice cast is super.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 25, 2013
The graphics are colourful and kinetic in a souped-up computer game sort of way, and there's pleasure to be had in watching the racetrack zoom by at full throttle.

The racing set-pieces are fizzy enough, but you have to wonder if teaching snails not to be content with their given snail speed is the right message to put out there.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 21, 2013
David Soren and his Dreamworks Animatoids follow the Pixar playbook page by well-thumbed page, replicating the utilitarian plotting and kooky characters that lend themselves so completely to merchandise spin-offs.

The picture has an energy which dares you to confine the term 'snail's pace' to history.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 18, 2013
This flashy fantasia attempts to fuel-inject an American dream that is stuck in a recessionary slow lane.
