''Turbo'' is a 2013 Creator/{{DreamWorks Animation}} CG family film that revolves around a garden snail, Turbo (Creator/RyanReynolds), who dreams about becoming fast so that he can race like his Indianapolis 500 idol, Guy Gagne (Creator/BillHader). His dreams make him a little distant from his slow-paced snail society, which includes his careful brother Chet (Creator/PaulGiamatti), who is constantly putting up with the embarrassment Turbo brings into his life. As luck would have it, a freak accident causes Turbo to get just what he's asking for when nitrous oxide becomes infused in his DNA. This causes him to become a snail racing wonder, and the possibility of competing in the Indianapolis 500 is just within his grasp.

* ArtisticLicenseSports: Racing practically runs on NotCheatingUnlessYouGetCaught; because of this, what defines a car is pretty rigorously defined, negating the AnimalAthleteLoophole. Also, a crash like what happened on the last lap would have almost certainly drawn a red flag and stopped the race - having [[spoiler:Turbo and Gagne "racing" to the finish line - one dragging his broken car, the other dragging his broken ''shell'' - ]] was pure RuleOfFunny.
