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

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

Keys perfectly into being young and little.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 17, 2013

Kids should be game for the ride, and the colourful characters offer humour and poignancy.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 15, 2013

If you want to see Paul Giamatti as a snail - and who doesn't - you've come to the right place.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 14, 2013

After the originality of the hero, the filmmakers borrow too heavily from other movies; the similarities to "Ratatouille" and "Cars" are almost distracting.

| Jul 22, 2013

the movie seems to understand its own near-abject ridiculousness ... without getting overly nudge-nudge wink-wink ...

| Original Score: 3 | Jul 19, 2013

Too bad there isn't a lot more you can say about Turbo than "That snail is fast." He is, but that's not character development.

| Original Score: C+ | Jul 18, 2013

By the time Turbo reaches the finish line, this new iteration of the fable about pursuing one's dreams no matter how unlikely they seem joins the winner's circle without quite nabbing the trophy.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 18, 2013

There's nothing new here, just old stuff in a new-ish package. This movie's enjoyable, but never as daring or bizarre as it could have been.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 17, 2013

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.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 17, 2013

A sort-of escargot-meets-"Cars" adventure, it has some sharp vocal turns and remains fun even when its inventiveness runs out of gas.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 17, 2013

Turbo won't set the world of animation on fire, but it's a fun movie.

| Jul 17, 2013

Ultimately, "Turbo" nicely lives up to its diminutive hero's credo of, "No dream is too big, and no dreamer too small" - a pleasant thought, for people of all sizes.

Let's face it: Kids aren't a very demanding audience. If there's color, movement, and a high quotient of silliness, they're happy.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 17, 2013

DreamWorks' 3-D confection ... featuring Ryan Reynolds as a garden-trolling slowpoke who dreams of Indianapolis 500 glory.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 17, 2013

Turbo's colourful trek to product placement-littered Indianapolis is as rote as it gets, but little viewers won't care about predictability.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 17, 2013

Honestly, they pretty much had me at "racing snails."

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 17, 2013
