This odd snail gets a chance to leave his slow-paced life behind when a freak accident gives him the power of superspeed.

Critics Consensus

It's nowhere near as inventive as its off-the-wall premise might suggest, but Turbo boasts just enough colorful visual thrills and sharp voice acting to recommend as undemanding family-friendly fare.

There's the odd giggle and diverting adult support from Samuel L Jackson, Snoop Dogg and Paul Giamatti but the ideal audience age range here is knee high to grasshopper.

Rated: 3/5

The animated races are fast and fun, the jokes are hip without being too snarky and the starry voice cast is super.

Rated: 3/5

Observer (UK)

The graphics are colourful and kinetic in a souped-up computer game sort of way, and there's pleasure to be had in watching the racetrack zoom by at full throttle.

Epoch Times

The snail-eye view of burning up the racetrack at 200+ mph is thrilling; you'll think, 'Why am I getting this excited about an oxymoronic fast snail?' Finding one's bliss is magical!

Rated: 4/5

Nashville Scene

Closer in tone, spirit and achievement to Pixar's Cars, the earnest Turbo is content just to provide a lot of fun.

The film is very good, the familiarization of pet-human is very cool since the person who watches the film feels it, although the only thing that seems absurd to me is the competition between a snail 🐌 and a professional Formula 1 racer. Santiago de los Ríos

This movie is soo good it made me cry everywhere. I see turbo more than my familly. I hear the words "WOW THAT SNAIL IS FAST" more than i love you. My music taste is the turbo soundrack. I have lost count of how many times i have watched this movie but since ive watched it everyday 5 times since it came out is suspect in somewhere in the bilions, yes i did the math. My life has gone more than up since i watched this movie, quite frankly my life STARTED when i watched this for the first time. Everytime i see a snail in real life i scream WOW THAT SNAIL IS FAST and begin crying all over the place because it reminds me of the thing that makes me truly happy... Turbo 2013
