Turbo
Dir: David Soren
2013

Turbo is nonsense but it's likable enough for you not to want to go into the Garden with a bag of Salt. Turbo, a young Snail, dreams of becoming an Indy 500 champion and thanks to the miracle of bad science and the fact that somehow Mexicans speak Snail, he gets his chance. I like silly, so I have no problem with any of that, it's just the continuous message that these films like to dictate to our children that no matter how ridiculous your dream may seem, anything is achievable if you have faith, commitment, passion and belief in yourself. So enjoy with your kids but just make sure they don't jump out of the upstairs window with tea towels wrapped around their necks afterwards.
