Happy New Year everybody, now lets start the year by talking about snails. This is the Film Turbo.

Theo is a garden snail who dreams of speed and hopes to be like his idol, 5 Time Indy 500 Champion Guy Gagne, but his obsession has made him an outcast and his brother Chet has to pick up the tab for his misfortunes. But after a near fatal accident with a prize tomato, Theo runs away to be alone but another incident throws him through the nitrous of a dragster giving him the powers of super speed. After another bout of misfortune involving a kid on a trike, Theo and Chet get thrown out of their garden and end up in the run down strip mall of Starlight Plaza where they are captured by Taco worker Tito who brings Theo into the world of Snail Racing; amazed by his speed and encouraged by a gang of racing snails, Tito enters Theo into the Indy 500 to live out his dream.
Now this looks like an idea that would never work but it really isn't that bad. It's very cheesy but like films such as the Brave Little Toaster it takes an idea that has nothing working for it and somehow makes it work.
It does help that the characters are likable, the jokes hit their mark quite well and there's no bad cliches, it's just a film about a really fast snail.
Really Turbo is one of those films that hits the mark as a cult classic film, it's not overly groundbreaking but it doesn't need to be, it tells its story and that's all you need. If you want something more complicated then don't bother with this film, if you're only looking for fun then give this film a shot, you won't regret it.
