Film Review - Turbo
July 18, 2013
Not that animated films should be held to a standard of realism, but “Turbo” is quite bizarre, even for a cartoon. It’s a story about a snail who finds himself soaked in nitrous oxide, endowing him with the characteristics of a car. He glows and moves with lightning speed, yet fringe characters don’t really seem shocked when confronted with such a vision. The snail is also allowed to compete in the Indianapolis 500 with other cars, and nobody bats an eye. However, the fantasy draws a line at communication, finding humans unable to hear the snails speak. It’s a weird movie and thankfully one that’s filled with enough positive energy and slick visuals to distract from its nonsense. Entertaining and agreeably performed, “Turbo” is a pleasant diversion for younger audiences. A little nutty, but friendly and colorful. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
