The Dissolve
There’s nothing remotely revolutionary about Turbo’s underdog-sports narrative, but that’s okay—it’s one of the sturdiest plots in film for a reason—and the film’s emotional beats are no less potent for being expected, thanks to the ground-level focus on the human-snail relationships that fuel them. - 75
Entertainment Weekly
While there's no denying that the film is a harmless, wholesome, and heart-warming ride crafted with polish and skill, it's also so predictable that you'll see every twist in the story driving down Fifth Avenue. - 70
Variety
Here, the laughs come not from the silly voices but a blend of snappy editing and clever character bits, including a recurring joke about an inappropriately named sidekick who calls himself White Shadow (Michael Patrick Bell). - 67
The A.V. Club
For all its chronic familiarity, the movie has its minor pleasures, many of them visual. Though at this point it's basically a given that a new studio-animated movie will look good, Turbo often looks downright exceptional. - 63
Slant Magazine
As a film about social issues, and simply being yourself, it's commendably progressive, going so far as serving as a kind of coming-out story. - 63
McClatchy-Tribune News Service
While small children may be enchanted by this little gastropod that could, adults will be more sorely tested. For all the horsepower Turbo boasts about, the movie tends toward the sluggish — as in slow as a slug. - 60
Arizona Republic
Competent, pretty funny in places, awfully nice to look at, that sort of thing. There’s just not a lot of excitement, though. - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
An attractively designed but narratively challenged, one-note film.
