Turbo

2013, DreamWorks

OK, I get it: a fast snail. The idea may seem funny on paper, but rendered in CGI for close to an hour, the joke runs out of gas in the first few minutes. You could almost feel the writers' ache as they strained to stretch the premise out just... one... more... minute. The animation was spectacular, designed and rendered with evident care, but it was all in vain given the fatally flimsy story. While it's certainly good enough to keep the kids occupied, it might be worth your time only if you have nothing better to do.
