REEL DEAL: Turbo REVIEW

When we think of snails, we think of a slow and boring world. And with what snails do for the rest of their lives is something many people also experience and are trapped in their own cycle of repetitive chores. But the movie TURBO by Dreamworks Animation is now out to prove something that kids and adults can learn a lot.

TURBO tells the story of Theo (Ryan Reynolds), a garden snail who dreams to be fast and reach his idol Guy Ganye. And in one unexpected night, he changed to be the fastest snail in the world. He transformed into a super snail that can run as fast as cars and has taken the new name Turbo.

Now turbo will pursue his dreams as he meets race snails and people along the way. With his superpowers giving him an advantage, will he reach dreams he is longing to have? And what other interesting thing he and his new gang would do to differ from the snail life into a life of speed and slide.

TURBO is brought to you by 20th Century Fox Philippines and Warner Bros. Now Showing in Theaters nationwide.

Deliberation time kids!
