Turbo 2013


Turbo


     This is a 3D comedy from the makers of Madagascar and Kung Fu Panda.  Turbo is a garden snail who feels the need for speed.  Chet, his sad-sack brother, is always, making excuses, bailing out and saving Turbo.  A very strange accident changes Turbo from a slow garden snail to a super speeder.  His goal is to go to the Indianapolis 500 and beat the track favorite Guy Gagne.
     Hits all the notes of the little guy with a dream theme.  Interesting to figure out the voices of the characters, some are very obvious.  Seems somewhat like a mix-up of Cars and Ratatouille but enjoyable overall.   3* (This movie is OK) 

96 min, Aninated directed by David Soren with the voices of Ryan Reynolds, Paul Giamatti, Maya Rudolph, Michael Pena, Samuel L. Jackson, Luis Guzman, Bill Hader, Snoop Dogg, Ben Schwartz, Ken Jeong.

Note:  Imdb 6.5 out of 10, 67% critic 67% audience on Rotten Tomatoes, Roger Ebert 2 ½*.
