Notes:

Turbo (2013) honestly falls behind The Croods (2013) due to its predictable plot, and behind Despicable Me 2 (2013) in terms of originality. The character design, animated effects, and voice talents are at par with the animated films that went out in 2013. This movie teaches us something and it could be an important factor for a possible nod from award-giving bodies. Not great nor utterly poor, but, enough to squeeze the tear glands--if you're not that hard. If you're that dreamer hoping to achieve your goals, Turbo (2013) will certainly push you to go further. 

For your consideration:

• Voice Acting: Paul Giamatti as Chet 
• Animated Film of the Year
• Visual Effects
• Music 
• Voice Acting Ensemble
• Character Design
