And as anyone who’s ever been into a TV show will tell you, there are few things harder to avoid–or more frustrating–than spoilers. At first, I was tempted to roll my eyes at the suspicious Snailflix gag in a show that’s only available on Netflix, but then the plot got to its central theme: Skidmark and White Shadow are only doing this is because they are terrified of having Gossip Snail’s secret identity spoiled for them. In the first of the two episodes we were given, Home on Our Own, Skidmark and White Shadow trap themselves in their garage in order to binge watch Gossip Snail, a TV drama they are both obsessed with.
One secret to the show’s success? Finding ways in which to make comedy involving snails with car engines attached to their butts relatable. If one gag doesn’t do it for you, then another will come along that will probably bring a grin to your face. It may not deliver quite as many laughs as you might like, but at 11 minutes an installment, the show is never allowed to outstay its welcome.
TURBO FAST EPISODES SERIES
is quite fun. The series is fast-paced and energetic, offering lots of comedy for kids while still following the DreamWorks tradition of having plenty of jokes for adults. Occasionally it’s nice to have a show that simply just wants to have fun.Īnd, going by the two screener episodes we were given to review, Turbo F.A.S.T. Yes, I know that educational programming has its place in children’s television, but as I said in my review of Uncle Grandpa earlier this year, sometimes it’s nice to have a series that isn’t worried about teaching its intended audience a lesson. Right from the start with the show’s insanely catchy theme song, it looks and feels like a Saturday morning cartoon.
TURBO FAST EPISODES MOVIE
Visually setting it apart from the movie on which it’s based, Turbo: F.A.S.T. The smartest decision made by the studio was to produce the series in traditional animation. While official “ratings” for the show are unavailable as Netflix never reveals those to the public, the series was apparently a big enough hit for them to order a second season, ultimately making Turbo something of an unlikely hero for DreamWorks during their last few years of various financial problems. But the studio was so confident that Turbo would be a hit that a TV series was already in the works for Netflix before the film was even released, premiering exclusively on their streaming service during the holiday season of that year.
With a domestic take of about $83 million, it looked like the series was one and done, with any hope that DreamWorks Animation had of making it into a franchise burning up faster than a snail under a salt shaker. Although far from being the bomb that some in the press tried to make it out to be, it couldn’t hold its own during what proved to be a very competitive summer movie season for family audiences, going against films like Monsters University, Despicable Me 2 and The Smurfs 2. When Turbo came to theaters in 2013, it wasn’t exactly seen as a success.
