Turbo idolizes Indy racer Guy Gagné (Bill Hader) and dreams of one day speeding away in the Indy 500 himself. The story follows a snail called Turbo (Ryan Reynolds) who’s fascinated with Indy racing and not satisfied with the slow, workaday life in the tomato garden that his cautious brother Chet (Paula Giamatti) and the rest of the snails seem to be okay with.

Apart from these things, however, nothing surprises in Turbo, and it stays stuck in first gear. It’s good work from Soren for a feature debut, who keeps an easy, relaxed feeling going throughout the film, mixes in enough comedic elements without the typical crude humor from DreamWorks, and oversees the by now expected, dazzlingly cutting edge animation (just check out the life-like imagery in those Indy 500 racing scenes). The film is helmed by David Soren, who, up until now, has mainly written and directed TV and video shorts for DreamWorks Animation ( Merry Madagascar Madly Madagascar) and worked as a storyboard artist for Disney before that ( Chicken Run The Road to El Dorado).

DreamWorks Animation’s latest feature is like Disney’s Planes and Pixar’s Cars and A Bug’s Life getting together and having a little one of their own.
