Film Review – Turbo

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.
