Review of Turbo (2013) by Cristina H — 05 Apr 2015

Turbo is a great movie that talks about the story of a garden snail that dreams in becoming the fastest snail in the world. When have you ever seen a snail be fast? This is why the snail dream became somehow impossible. The movie Turbo shows the audience that, No dream is too big and no dreamer is too small. These words are kind of the motivation for the whole movie. To keep moving forward and following Turbo's dream.

Through out the movie Turbo lives in a world full of dreams in which his fellow snail friends and brother Chet think's he is pretty crazy. The whole snail crew would make fun of turbo. How can a garden snail be fast? Wake up from your crazy dream, his brother Chet said. But Turbo didn't care what ever other snails said. Turbo didn't give any importance to all the bad peer pressure everyone in the garden would throw at him.

Every morning Turbo would wake up motivated and looking forward for that special day in which he would become the fastest garden snail in the world. At work he would think about racing the whole day. He would even play imaginary races with tomatoes. Turbos's dream was so strong that he would wish on airplane lights in the sky, thinking they were shooting stars. Somehow that wish came true when he found himself in an underground race, in which got him inside an engine running nitrous oxide (NOS). NOS got into Turbo's system making his heart pump extremely fast. Which made him a fast snail.

Turbo and Chet left the garden and found themselves in an unknown place where Tito a taco truck owner and snail racing fanatic found them and trapped them. Tito took Turbo and Chet to a snail racing competition in which the racing audience got extremely surprised with Turbo's speed. That's a fast garden snail people replied. With Turbo's dream and Tito's need in recognition of his business they both decided to enter in the big Indianapolis 500 race. In which would prove Turbo that he can be the fastest garden snail in the world. Tito, Turbo and crew left to Indianapolis to enter the race. Everyone still kept making fun of them telling them that they were crazy. Turbo did a test lap on the track and made everyone surprise with the snails super speed. that's what got him in the race. Turbo had a tuff race with all the professional car racers, but at the end Turbo prove him self and the whole world.

The garden snails prove to everyone that No dream is too big and no dreamer is too small.

Anyone can make their wish come true. All he needed is motivation, never quitting and his drive. Turbo and Tito never minded all the haters and negativity around them. Always follow a dream that nothing is impossible.
