Turbo

I saw Turbo last night, and it was an amazing movie. The animation was top-notch, and it's the same type of animation that you would come to expect from a Dreamworks movie. The cast had a ton of notable names like Snoop Dogg, Samuel L. Jackson, Ryan Reynolds, and Michelle Rodriguez.

The movie is about a snail named Theo (Turbo) who is, ironically enough, a speed freak deep down. He loves to watch racing. He has a dream of being fast and being able to race. The other snails, including his brother, just brush it off and proceed with their lives. Dreamworks once again dives into the lives of animals, and in an effective way. It made me like snails.

There's a human named Tito, a big guy with a good heart, who works at a taco shop with his brother. There's a nice connection between the two sets of brothers. The younger one wants to achieve this big dream while the older one, the more grounded one, tries to get his brother back down to Earth.

The movie is a nice underdog story about a snail that could, and did.
