Turbo – Kleine Schnecke, großer Traum: Directed by David Soren. With Ryan Reynolds, Paul Giamatti, Michael Peña, Samuel L. Jackson. A freak accident might just help an everyday garden snail achieve his biggest dream: winning the Indy 500.

“u0026quot;Turbou0026quot; may not be the most original or inventive animated film ever but itu0026#39;s a good time and pretty fun. The story is pretty simple and one that a little child can imagine. But the way it delivers the story is gorgeous. It has lovable characters and sense of humor. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTheo (who prefers to be called Turbo) is a garden snail who lives as an outsider among his snail community. His dream of becoming the Indianapolis 500 champion makes him an outcast and his obsession with speed brings embarrassment to his brother, Chet. However, after an unexpected accident, Theo is granted incredible speed and also inherits some characteristics of an actual car (headlights, radio). u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHe is then taken by a chubby guy named Tito. Tito and his brother Angelo own a taco shop that is struggling. The other tenants in the area are also facing the same problem. Tito has this idea of registering Turbo into the Indy 500 in order to help his business prosper. And there are also other snails who become Turbou0026#39;s buddies. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;Turbou0026quot; may not have as much depth as some of the animated masterpieces. But u0026quot;Turbou0026quot; doesnu0026#39;t aim in being that. It wants to become a fun-filled adventure about a freaking-fast snail racing in the midst of an array of monstrous cars. And it doesnu0026#39;t disappoint. Itu0026#39;s enjoyable, slick and plenty of fun. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe characters are likable too. Turbo is ambitious, funny, and adventurous. All the qualities of a fun character are embodied in him. Chet, his brother, is caring and more cautious but is also adorable in some moments. The other snails are also plenty of fun due to their ridiculous antics. Besides the mollusks, we also have the human characters. Tito, with his large build, is extremely chubby and funny. Titou0026#39;s other friends are also a joy to watch. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;Turbou0026quot; also has a great sense of humor. I had a blast watching this film. Not all the jokes work, but most of them do. But I do want to mention that thereu0026#39;s a joke concerning crows snatching one snail at a time, and to me it seems a bit extreme because the idea of a snail being eaten by a crow is kinda creepy, donu0026#39;t you think? Or maybe itu0026#39;s just me. But the bottom line is u0026quot;Turbou0026quot; is plenty of fun to watch. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe animation is not the best Iu0026#39;ve seen but itu0026#39;s pretty good. It possesses beautiful sets and the colors are fluorescent. The voice cast was excellent too and Ryan Reynolds did a great job lending his voice to Turbo. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;Turbou0026quot; is a fun and rollicking adventure and it is plenty of joy to watch these lovable characters see what theyu0026#39;re up to. Just donu0026#39;t expect too much from it and donu0026#39;t expect it to be a masterpiece. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eRating: 7/10u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFinal Verdict: It may not be original but u0026quot;Turbou0026quot; is a hell of a roller-coaster ride that will provide plenty of joy and laughs with its lovable characters.”
