7* CreatorKiller: This film not performing all that well financially in both the theaters and home market, along with the shareholder lawsuit thrown in Katzenberg's direction, made ''Turbo'' part of the mid-New Ten's chain of misfires that crushed the main DWA careers of Katzenberg and CCO Bill Damaschke.
8* DuelingMovies: With Disney's ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph'', which was also scored by Henry Jackman, featured Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog, who inspired this film (which is Ironic seeing that the few early incarnations of the [[Film/SonicTheHedgehog2020 Sonic movie]] was going to be under the Dreamworks banner), involved car racing, and had a character [[spoiler:who was the secret BigBad, something that didn't become known until critic screenings]].
