The first trailer for DreamWorks Animation’s Turbo, featuring the voice of Ryan Reynolds as a snail who dreams of being the greatest racer in the world, as arrived.
With a clever concept and talented voice cast, Turbo has the potential to be a really great animated film. Let the trailer help you decide, which is embedded below, originally via Apple:
From the trailer, Turbo appears to have some impressive visuals, and hopefully it can recreate the success of past DreamWorks Animation feature How to Train Your Dragon. Though not featured in the trailer, the film also has voice work from Paul Giamatti, Michael Pena, Luis Guzman, Bill Hader, Richard Jenkins, Ken Jeong, Michelle Rodriguez, Maya Rudolph and Snoop Dogg. Turbo has a July 19, 2013 release date set.
Turbo is a snail who dreams of being the greatest racer in the world, just like his hero, 5-time Indianapolis 500 champ, Guy Gagne. His obsession with speed and all things fast has made him an oddity and outsider in the slow and cautious snail community, and a constant embarrassment to his careful older brother, Chet. Turbo desperately wishes he could escape the slow-paced life he’s living. As luck would have it, he gets that chance one fateful day after a freak accident when he suddenly finds himself vested with the power of incredible speed. Turbo embarks on an extraordinary journey to achieve the impossible: racing against the best that IndyCar has to offer. Turbo is the ultimate underdog who achieves the impossible by refusing to let his limitations get in the way of his dreams
