Description
this is just a quick drawing I did inspired when I saw the trailer for new dreamworks turbo movie.Related content

yeah, i just didn't think this movie was very good to begin with compared to other movies dreamworks as done, it had a redundant storyline that was not executed very well and kind of a cliche main protagonist and even that animation was not that great, it's wasn't terrible, but there nothing to make it spectacle either. i heard there was a tv series on this movie and that's what i think made it down fall, it felt like just a cheap cash crab that didn't work out so well.
it's okay, i often have those fangirl moments too when i see or hear someone trash talking a certain fandom or character i like, i feel the need to defend it too. Β

I suppose we can pretty much agree that the movie performed as slow as normal snails themselves. Because of my distaste for what Dreamworks has been making lately (most especially one of their other TV shows), I'll pretty much never buy anything from them again.
It's always a delight to hear shared feelings. Must be completely normal to have 'em. Take care.
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah, the only movies and tv shows i have really liked from dreamworks is how to train your dragon and kung fu panda, the rest are just kind of eh okay.
yeah, it is pretty much normal to have those feelings when you fan of a certain fandom.

The first Shrek & Madagascar films are pretty much my only favorite things from them. Being a very loyal Pixar fan growing up, I guess you could say I have very mixed thoughts on the company too.
They're just in the nature of fandoms.

yeah, same here, i loved pixar movies way before dreamworks, but even with pixar their movies have been kind of hit or miss lately. at first i thought dreamworks was just trying to rip off pixar, but later on they have done their own thing and it does often seem dreamworks makes some of their movies just to sell merchandise, but then again pixar often falls into that same trap as well. Β
π: 0 β©: 1
So since you knew about the way how Dreamworks makes their products, I suppose you could say that you tried to warn me about its failure, but I didn't listen... At the very least, it's good I learned to be extremely careful on what I support from now on.
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah, pretty much, just from seeing the movie i knew any merchandice from this movie was not going to sell well and whatever movie that does not sell well enough for dreamworks, they kill off quickly. hey, you live and you learn, i've supported some pretty crappy things with a very little fan base in the past myself.
π: 0 β©: 1
Very wise thought. Dreamworks needs to understand that creating junk like that doesn't sell, especially if they redesign
an entire pre-existing franchise they bought for themselves. (VeggieTales In The House and Mr. Peabody & Sherman)
Feeling much better hearing that notion. Not everything we support lasts for too long and we have to get used
to it. It's all a part of life to let a thing or two go, especially if you don't care about it anymore. We're definitely not
gonna talk about the movie 10 years later like people do with Cars, because Dreamworks were well aware that it
couldn't stand a chance against that franchise. It wasn't a form of art like I once thought it was and I'm glad I woke up.
Guess I could say we're both with Chet (Turbo's bother) on the notion that snails can't race. Bet he tried to warn me too!
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah, but with creating any movie it's gamble whether the movie will catch on with audiences and it will sell well, movies of their movies end being real money makers and some just don't, in the case of turbo once they learned whatever fan base there was with that movie was quickly going away and stuff was not selling well for it. they decided to move on to other things.
yeah, so very true, not everything we like is going to last forever and there is that time where we all have to let it out and move to better interests. it was just a smaller fleeting movie that was made mostly to make more money for the company, nothing amazing and yeah, certainly not a dreamworks movie would be taking 10 years later. it just didn't the animation and storyline standards to up with the rest of dreamwork's movies. and as a person that to animation school for college, i know when to call bullshit when i see lazy storytelling and animation. Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Exactly. Like I said in my journal, I remember how rapidly ToysRus was shunning the movie. Last time I saw anything on it was in their DVD clearance center, so that's definitely telling a story.
The junk can't even sell online either. The only related products I managed to sell on eBay were 3 playsets. The rest of the stuff I donated to Goodwill not long ago. (I wouldn't be surprised if they'd barely sell there either!)
I understand that Dreamworks has to make money, but if that's all they care about anymore, then they're really not decent human beings. Their movie release dates in my country always seem to share the same date with other big films and that's when I know it has a strong chance of falling. (Doctor Strange & Trolls both shared November 4th and Wonder Woman & Captain Underpants will share June 2nd soon.) I can't really recall if Turbo shared its release date with another movie, but regardless of what day it was released, it was still a double-edged saw that never paid off. Its clunky marketing, its poor attempt to compete with Cars, and its storytelling seems to overlap any form of enjoyment I can get out of this movie anymore.
(You can? Do tell me so I can avoid their mistakes...)
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah, the movie didn't sell that well so of course they toys for are not going to sell well either, so they were probably desperate to rid off any merchandise stock they had. even when the toys don't sell well, that tells you not even kids were that interested in the movie.
yeah, that is true if you make a money just for the sake of making money, then your not a good movie maker, but still with any production studio money has to be factor somewhere otherwise they would fall into bankruptcy and go out of business. matter of fact dreamworks learned a painful lesson from that recently, before they had released how to train your dragon 2, the company took major loses because the past couple movies were average to complete flops, they were forced to make budget cuts, cut animation staff and slow their production schedule to just one movie a year. so that just proves quantity is not always better then quality. here in the US the usually squeeze big major production films in a span of a few months, usually in the summer months and around the holidays and often lesser animated films get released just a few days before other major animated films. and that what i think happened to turbo, it got poor advertising and go beat out by other animated movies, so that is most likely another reason it did so bad. Β
one why i can tell for lazy storytelling is when a character in the movie is presented with a problem and how they solve it. with how to train your dragon, toothless could not longer fly in his own because part of his tail was missing, so hiccup invents a device both him and toothless can both use to help him fly. with kung fu panda master shi fu at first didn't know how he going to train po to be the dragon master, then once he found our po's major motivation was food. he thought of a way to train him through that. with turbo the problem was he couldn't go very fast and the solution was he just gets sucked into a car engine and some how gets magical super speed powers.lazy lazy writing right there.

Good point. A brand will undoubtedly fall when your target audience shuns it too. I doubt I'll be able
to see any products of it at my nearby flea markets, but if they're being sold for mere cents, I wouldn't be
surprised in the slightest! They're hardly worth a dollar anymore, let alone a copper penny...
Although a sequel is possible, I imagine Trolls stuff being dumped in less than no time too and if they are, I'll feel extremely glad.
(To me, their advertising campaign tried to hard to be as big as Minions was and I was annoyed to see Dreamworks force it everywhere.)
I remember that write-down chain they had years back. Penguins of Madagascar was the last of many
nails in the coffin that made PDI close down. But even without PDI, they can still find ways to earn money after those dark times.
Despicable Me 2 was released 2 weeks ahead of time, so that movie alone may have been quite a cause
for the downfall and I'm lucky I watched that in theaters instead...Β (Consumers knew it was a better idea just
to wait for other movies as well, as Frozen & The Lego Movie were to be released many months later.)
Very wise advice and good comparisons. What makes it worse is that it's never explained how his shell was repaired and
how he was able to regain his speed as well... On top of it all, the director's original concept for the movie was going to be
"Fast and Furious with snails". Even that concept sounds lazy, but they were better off sticking with that idea in the first place.
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah, went even kids don't want the toys and you get sell the toys for anything but a few cents, you know the movie was not worth anything.
yeah, i don't see trolls being much of a hit either and the merchandise not selling very well for it either, but that is what you get for trying to make a movie out of a simple toy made back in the 80s.
yeah, a lot of other animated movies did far better then their movies did and that was what forced them on the write down, bu i think they have recovered from that now with the release of how to train your dragon 2 and among other movies, but still not as good as they once were.
oh yeah, i forgot about that part too, they never did explain how his shell got repaired and how he got his speed powers back, he just magically automatically does because kids need happy endings. yea, the movie is pretty much just the "fast and furious with snails." which does not sounds like that great of a concept to begin with. Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Trolls never had a story to begin with, but they found a way to make one...
Since I want to forget about this movie as quickly as I can, we should probably wrap this up after a few more responses.
One thing I will say is... In many ways, Turbo was a flop that shouldn't have been made and so far, Cars 3 is gonna give it
a big, BIG run for its money. (Ironic, since Turbo said snails don't have money in the movie.)
My question does remain... Did we even learn anything from it? Well at first, it may seem like we didn't, but in reality, we definitely
did learn two things: First, if you're making any underdog movie (especially animated), make sure the writing isn't so lazy and the
marketing isn't so small, otherwise you'd end up with another box office flop like Turbo. And also, it's a good idea to go nowhere near
Dreamworks' under-performing products because they're just not worth the hassle. Next time Dreamworks has any original movie planned
for release, I will consider having second thoughts. (As a matter of fact, I might never see a movie from 'em again, won't I?)
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah, so very true that we have learned something from this movie (and hopefully dreamworks as well.) is that the same underdog story can be retold over and over again, but how to execute it is what really matters. if the story is written well it will show through in the movie and same goes for lazy writing, if you have gaps and things that are not explained, they will show through in the movie. i mean look at the other films such as how to train your dragon and kung fu panda, they basically had the same premise of the underdog story yet they were each written differently. both characters started out as nobodies, but through the journey of the movie they become somebody special. hiccups just wanted his father to be proud of him and feel like he belongs in his tribe while just wanted to feel like someone famous and special.
and your right, marketing the movie is a big factor too, if you don't market your movie to the target audience enough, no one would be interested in seeing it. same goes if you don't market the movie in the right way, it will make people not interested in seeing it. i would not totally ditch dreamworks just yet, sure they they're fare share of bad movies, but so does mostly every animation studio, i thought about going cold turkey with disney when they released that abomination that is the movie frozen, but they came back to greatness with releasing movies like zootopia and moana. so down count out dreamworks just yet, maybe they will have much better movies coming in the future.
π: 0 β©: 1
I guess if there's any other reason why Turbo even exists is because Dreamworks
wanted to help themselves get the idea on how important it is to understand your failures...
Through recognizing our mistakes and missteps, we can discover how not to fall into the
same traps. It also helps us appreciate when we overcome these challenges, as well as give
an idea of what the artist originally had in mind.
Maybe when Universal begins to distribute their films (and once they can get it together with
the properties they bought), Dreamworks may finally earn back their 'cutting-edge' factor, as well as my
heartfelt trust. I might have to wait another year or so for that to happen, however. The best outcomes
happen when one waits, whether its a consumer or a studio and I suppose if they regrouped on Turbo's intent
and released it at a much more later point in time, then it could've all been saved. (I would imagine it doing far
worse against Cars 3, so at least it they didn't plan to release it at the same time...)
π: 0 β©: 1
yep, that is pretty much whyΒ these movies exist, so the studio can learn from he past mistakes and how to improve on things for there next movie. created a movie is always a gamble what what they think would make a great story and how the audience responds to the final product and if the movie does not do well, there is not much you can do but just take notes to learn from it and move on to create the next thing.
it's how pixar learned their lesson from their failure with cars 2 by making cars 3, forget everthing they did in cars 2 and in the next cars movie make thing a bit darker and edger with a more deep storyline. yeah, i doubt dreamworks will making deals with universal any time soon as they still like being their own company and they are not that desperate just yet to save themselves. i still want to see dreamworks movie, just in the future i have more picky about which ones i want to see.

Well, in April 2016, NBCUniversal bought Dreamworks for billions and they'll start to handle the studio's films once
they're done with 20th Century Fox this summer. I hope for them to do their best with their new parent company...
See here: variety.com/2016/biz/news/dreaβ¦
Exactly. With Professor Z gone too (I hated that guy), Pixar knows exactly what to do next and they got lucky to have a third
film since the last two films were runaway hits. Turbo definitely was a complete and utter failure in comparison. At $283 million,
it paled in trying to go up against the Cars films' combined $1 billion. The snail's main Indy 500 goal alone was enough evidence
that Dreamworks was trying too hard to make an alternative. But just as Nintendo most lately released the Switch to have the
world forget all about the nightmare that was the Wii U, so too will Pixar look to further erase Turbo from history's mind with their
third Cars installment. The mission begins on their opening day in June 16 and after that day, it'll be pretty much it.
π: 0 β©: 1
oh really? i didn't know that. i guess it the same when disney bought marvel, even though disney owns the rights to them now they still create their own movies under the marvel name. but yeah, hopefully this will be a good thing and bring the studio back up to being majorly profitable again.
yeah, since the first cars movie was still a fairly profitable movie, they have a chance to revive the franhise with a 3rd sequel so everything can forget about the 2nd flop. turbo never had anything strong to fall back on, the movie just tried to rip off another franchise that was popular at the time and created the cartoon show in hopes of keeping the movie alive, but ultimately it failed so the movie was left to be forgotten about. yeah well, nintendo have to make up for the major loss on the Wii U some way, so what better way to create a new console and new games for it. so really with any company when something turns out really badly, best thing is move on to create the next best thing so people will forget about that failure.
π: 0 β©: 1
Never would've thought of that comparison.
What makes things more ironic is that Turbo had his own game on Wii U and Cars 3 is planned to have a Switch game released with the movie this summer... (Coincidence? I THINK NOT!)
I suppose all I have to say left is...Β All thanks to you, I've learned to make my movie choices wisely and not focus on any ripoff. I'm definitely not a stupid movie consumer anymore. (After all, I did pick Lego Batman over 50 Shades.)
π: 0 β©: 1
really? there was a game for that movie too?
yeah, it's obvious pixar would put a game from cars 3 on the nintendo switch because that console is selling really well right now. i'm sure the game with be released for PS4 and xbox one too, but they put on the switch as well so everyone as the chance to play it.
yeah, you learned from your mistake to not go see every animated movie that comes out because not all of them are good, best to save your money for the good films. (also glad you decided to see the lego batman movies over 50 shades, a movie way more better worth your time.)
π: 0 β©: 1
A lackluster one at that and I can't wait to send my copy to Vinesauce's Vinny for 'Shovelware Showcase'. He'd definitely agree that it's not that good.
Yeah. The game was lately rated in Brazil and it looks like it's coming to those platforms too, along with their predecessors. (Amazing how people still make Xbox 360 & PS3 games, huh?) www.justpushstart.com/2017/02/β¦
Well, its not like I see every single animated movie that comes out per se, but at least those that interest me the most. I did make smart moves skipping Home, Trolls and Norm of the North. Definitely did not like the looks of 'em.
(Yes sirree it was more worth it, especially as a fan since 2008. Sadly, 50 Shades just has to nab the money, despite the original's negative ratings.)
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah, that doesn't surprise me since the movie and cartoon show was kind of lackluster as well.
yeah, probably most people can't afford the new consoles yet or not many people don't want to give up their predecessor consoles just yet.Β so i think it will be a while before they stop making games for those consoles all together.
oh okay. yeah, that it understandable. i only pick ones that might seem interesting to be too. i did see home and yeah, there was nothing really special about that movie, so be glad you skipped it, i haven't see trolls and don't really plan on seeing because it looks a little too kiddish for me and certainly going to avoid norm of the north because it be rated as among the worst animated movies ever.
(yeah, as for me i been a fan since i was a kid when i saw the first live action batman movie.)
π: 0 β©: 1
Yup.
Makes perfect sense. One of my friends still buys new releases on the 360.
Sadly, not even Jim Parsons could escape Dreamworks' grasp... I personally feel surprised he said 'yes' to Home and that they included him in their never-ending quest to cast every celebrity in the world.
(Pretty amazing.)
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah, i still have an xbox 360 and i still buy games for it.
he probably did it for the money, it is mostly why these actors get put into these roles. he surprisingly did a really good job voicing the alien though.
π: 0 β©: 1
He did? I haven't seen much of it, so I don't know if he was any good in it.
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah, it was kind of like how he acts like as Sheldon on the tv show big bang theory, expect times like a 100.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
I see.
Well, it's been quite a blast talkin' to you again. Unless I have Cars 3 on the mind, I might not be able to talk in a very long time, but for now, I should feel quite glad you made me change my ways. It feels great to get rid of that junk I had & escape that forever forgotten void... I can't thank you enough for teaching me an important lesson for any consumer.
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah, no problem. i just wanted to make you more consciously aware as a movie watcher consumer to know the difference between good storytelling and bad storytelling.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
I'll be much more aware of my interests from here on out.
Bye for now.

Disney Turbo: I'm Turbo, and I'm in charge of this detachment!
Dreamworks Turbo: No. I'm Turbo
Disney Turbo: I'm Turbo!
Dreamworks Turbo: I'm Turbo!
Interneters: So, who's the real Turbo?
Both: I AM!
Disney Turbo: Don't let this impostor fool you! He's been trained by Shrek himself to mimic my every move!
*Dreamworks Turbo bites Disney Turbo's butt*
If you've seen Toy Story 2's "I'm Buzz Lightyear!" scene, then you'll get the reference!
Man, it's almost as if Turbo is the most underrated Dreamworks movie in the world!
Sure, there's Antz & Over the hedge, but this is far better than that of those!
Gokuonnimbus That's something I've learned! You think it could've been more successful
if Dreamworks had to wait until W.I.R Turbo intensification had died down?
π: 0 β©: 2
i don't know, i didn't like the movie very much, the characters were okay because it was different, but i felt the storyline was something that has been used a hundred times. i thought if they had told a better story with it, it could of probably done better.
π: 0 β©: 1
Maybe they will if they make a sequel...
π: 0 β©: 1
considering how a failure it was, a doubt it, they only make sequels out of movies that made them a lot of money.
π: 0 β©: 1
Come on, it's not TOO big of a failure now, is it?
Hopefully, the franchise won't meet the same fate that
Barnyard & Monsters v.s. Aliens met. After their TV series,
those franchises were never heard from again. Considering
I'm a big fan of Turbo, I really hope this won't happen.
π: 0 β©: 1
well, the year turbo came out was a pretty bad year for dreamworks in general, but that movie did the poorest in sales that year.
then it best to let turbo die then because that is exactly what would happen to it, they would a ton of sequels out of it and then a shitty tv series, they would over used the character until the point they are not profitable anymore.
π: 0 β©: 1
Fact: Turbo actually did make more money than "Planes",
and the movie even had a better reception than "Planes!
But which one of these movies got a sequel?
Sadly, the one that was less critically acclaimed.
I'm pretty sure that the "Wreck-It Ralph" Turbo fad is
over by now, and there are indeed plenty of fans of Turbo F.A.S.T.,
so there still be a possibility for a sequel.
How to train your dragon 2 recently got a write-down and even the
closure of PDI, but that isn't stopping it from getting a third movie.
Even write-downed films can get a lucky chance for a sequel!
But then again, that's because of a big fanbase of the "Dragons" franchise.
I'm sure there still has to be people who still care about him!
Fact: There had been about 10 million downloads of Turbo F.A.S.T! (Formerly known as Turbo Racing League)
Also, I know you may not feel like it's the truth, but this movie is better-rated than that of what you think! (Trust me!)
π: 0 β©: 1
oh yeah, i remember planes, that was a pretty bad movie too and i have no friggin idea how that movie is getting a sequel, for shame pixar. but yeah that is with pixar, I'm just talking about dreamworks here and as far as i known turbo preformed the poorest in a while in terms of their movies.
how to train your dragon 2 only got a write down because even though it did a lot better then their other movies in previous years, it still it did not make for the massive loss from the movie the croods, rise of the guardians and turbo and they continued on the sequel because that movie franchisee i pretty much their biggest cash cow right now so they would not dare kill it.
i know and that is what saddens me is people actually like this movie, there are plenty of other movies out there that you be a fan of. it saddens me that people don't want anything better in animated movies in terms of storyline, but they just want something that looks flashy and cool. to me the movie was just slap together of the same basic storyline and ideas you see pretty in ever kids movie, basically it has the underdog story and really the story as been done to death. to me there is nothing original about this movie, the story is reudent and the characters are just make to look goofy, bight and colorful because they kids will eat that kind of thing up.and to me there way better movies that deserve more love, like rise of the guardians, i actually like that movie way more then turbo, but it is getting a sequel? highly doubtful as the movie performed pretty poorly as well.
π: 0 β©: 1
The one reason why I hated that movie was because the
teaser trailer lied to me. I thought it was about Dusty singing
up for a marine pilots' air show, but as it turns out, it wasn't true.
Even Turbo has a higher rating than Planes on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic!
I guess that's why they're called teaser trailers!
Wait. The Croods got a write-down too? For what?
Can't believe that Dragons is their biggest franchise right now! Especially with the cancellation
of the "Penguins Of Madagascar" TV series, and the lack of popularity
for Kung Fu Panda. So, yeah. They'd best not kill Dragons.
Sigh... I think I was just reminded of something I learned as a kid from those old "2-Disc Special Edition" DVDs.
"What makes a good film is a good story."
If Turbo happens to get a sequel at all (kinda unlikely like you said), then I'm
sure that there could be a more different story than an underdog movie.
I don't really know if the story line was used an awful lot throughout film history. (I do know that
the "Rocky" films must have used it.) Can you give me every possible example of films that used it?
Then I'm sure that I would know what you mean by "overused storyline".
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah, very true, that what i thought about the teaser trailer for planes as well and i was like okay that is kind of cool, but no, the turned into a simple story about him winning a race. so i agree what was a pile of disappointment as well.
the croods got a write down as well because the sales did not do as expected and had a take a big los from the movie too. yeah, dragons is their biggest franchise right now because a lot of the interest is dying, madagacar was pretty much put to it's grave after the failure of the terrible tv show, there was a rumor going on they would do a madagacar 4, but considering now that dreamworks has to cut back on their movies, it's highly doubtful now. but they are still going to do the sequels to kung fu panda, but since it been awhile since that last movies and the tv show ended i think, it is losing some popularity.Β
yeah, if turbo ever does a sequel they better for the love of god to a better and different storyline because yeah, i do know a good storyline and really how to tell it can really sell a movie. let's see, movies that used the type of story is balto, iron will, paranorman, the karate kid, kung fu panda, real steel, remember the titans, hidalgo, seabiscuit. those are just a few a can remember off the top of my head, but I'm sure there is a ton more out there. Β
π: 0 β©: 1
At least there was a small portion that had to do with the Military.
I guess the only way how these write-downs can stop is if Dreamworks
does not set their expectations too high. They kinda remind me of Disney a little bit,
because they must have a really big admiration of money...
but what they actually got instead was 5 write-downs in a row. I can
picture ones being made for Penguins Of Madagascar & Home.
While Mad 4 hasn't been canceled, it has been put on hold due to the new
"2 films a year" policy. Also, D.W. is considering a 5th Shrek film, but it hasn't been
confirmed yet. I personally feel that the 4th movie is a good way to end for now while
they let Toy Story catch up.
Did the TV show end? I looked on Dreamwork's Wikipedia page, and it says that the
show is still going on.
3 films a year must have been a lot for the company during 2010 & 2014, huh?
I think I get the idea. Everyone must love the whole "David & Goliath" factor of
underdog movies, don't they? So they'd better do a new storyline.
I, to be honest, am one of the bigger Turbo fans and I really hope that they don't just
ditch him. When I saw the DVD that I got for Christmas 2013, I found "That snail is fast"
to be so catchy, that I just had to feel bad for myself that I missed that fun little song during
the summer. I was considering seeing it after my vacation of 2013, but I never found the time
to do so. I also felt bad that everyone had to put their focus, care, dedication and respect to
the Disney Turbo instead, when they don't realize that the Turbo movie was announced
before Wreck-It Ralph came out and that Dreamworks wasn't copying Disney. So, yeah.
That's why I love Turbo so much. It's because of how underrated he is. I guess I'm someone
who likes underrated things (In the video gaming category is Peach, Kirby, Sega and Roy from Fire Emblem.)
(Speaking of Roy, I can compare him and the Mario Roy with Dreamworks Turbo and Disney Turbo. One I like,
the other I don't. I'm sure you'll get what I mean if you explore the Smash Bros. community regularly.)
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah, i can agree that they set their expectations do high for these movies, it is a huge gamble when the movies on only a certain audience might like it or it rides heavy of nostalgia, so they got to learn to not blow their budget on films that might or might not be successful. so really i feel the story 2 movies a year is a good chance for the studio because it give the chance to slow the fuck down and focus on creating more movies with better storyline and more well developed characters. personally, i hate work for dreamworks as a storyboarder or animator because they either work them to death or lay them off at the drop of a hat.
i can see them doing another madagascar movie because the last was petty good, but another sherk movies?! ugh no, why would they bother when the last movie was terrible! whatever, i'm certainly not seeing that one. really the series is still going? well, it must be a really long hiatus then.
yeah, so you see it is a overused storyline, some movies are actually good at telling that story and some are not, unfortunately turbo is really the latter. i main reason i don't like turbo because it took the simplest way to tell the underdog story and that the character's success was mostly based on luck, like how he just happened to get super speed powers by being sucked into a car engine. if he actually worked hard to figure out a way to make go faster by other means like the other snails did went he meet the gang i would of been fine with that. yeah, i doubt dreamworks actually did copy the name, it was a strange convendense that they both had characters by the name of turbo.Β so just saying, if turbo ever does get sequel they better stop fooling around and actually create a well flesh out character with a good storyline.
π: 0 β©: 1
Times like this where I can feel the superiority that Pixar has
over Dreamworks.
Wait, you work for Dreamworks, or are you just saying that
you hate the way the the company treats animators and
story guys?
I agree. 4's a good place to end.
Why should Shrek have all the fun on the internet?
Not that I hate the franchise, but I think it make the usage of
itself and Toy Story a little unbalanced. Wait until Toy Story 4
comes out. Also, let's see if another animated film franchise is able to topple
Shrek off it's place for "highest-grossing animated film franchise" place.
(Either Toy Story, Despicable Me or Ice Age in this case.)
What didn't you like about the Penguins Of Madagascar TV series?
It was received positive reviews during it's first run, but I guess it
must have began to be like the new Spongebob where people started
to hate it.
I can imagine the show finale involving the lemurs and that other girl
being transferred back to their places of origin.
Wait until there comes a day where there's a science experiment
centering on whether or not it is true that super speed is gained by
getting flown in nitrous oxide. To be fair, the story is fiction, but there
always has to be accuracy. I don't know whether he left home just
to admire highway traffic or because he is running away, but those
must be the likely reasons. What kind of resource would he use to
learn about going fast?
I hope Dreamworks has learned or will learn their lesson on quality.
Some sequels are better that the original, after all.
(I can also compare the Dreamworks Turbo and Disney Turbo
to the Sega Saturn and the PlayStation.)

yeah, but even now pixar is starting to go the same route as dreamworks and i don't want them to go that way, they need to keep their films in good quality.
oh no, i don't work for them, i said i would hate to work for them because trying squeeze out 3 films a year seems like a lot of work.
yeah, i agree that the sherk franchise as over used is usefulness and i did like the characters at first, but now i'm sick and tired of seeing them, i like dragons way better now. i still can believe pixar is doing a toy story 4, i mean where could the story possibly go after the third movie? i mean it could tell of their story of the toys with their new owner, but i feel it would be that same as the first movie. i have feeling either dragons or frozen is going to take the place of sherk, i mean both movies have merchandised at the crap out of already.
i really can't say too much about because i have only a few episode, but from i saw the animation was terrible quality compared to the movies and in the plot in the episodes were kind of lackluster, plus it featured the one character i hated the most in the movies, the main lumar king (i forgot what his name was), so i kind of gave up on the series.Β
i highly doubt something like that would be possible because that not how science works, i mean for a machine it could be possible, but for something alive and organic to have the ability it would be highly unlikely, it would like being exposed to radiation gives someone super powers.
well, he was smart about it he would snail can't go fast enough on their own, he probably use some of form of machinery, probably primitive, but enough to make him go just as fast has a race car. like the other snails from the gang had zip line thing going on, that was actually kind of cool. Β

I expect Inside Out and The Good Dinosaur to be good in
quality. I guess everyone is beginning to think that because of the
recent TV shows. I suppose that half-hour TV specials isn't really
Pixar's thing, but I kinda liked Toy Story of terror. So, they will indeed
keep their films in good quality, thanks to their enthusiasm.
Overused is the best way to describe it. While it's still good, it hogs the
spotlight. Dragons is better.
No possibility of Bonnie moving at all. They claim that some of the film will
be a "love story", assuming that it's between Buzz & Jessie.
There's no true Frozen sequel coming out soon, so that's not going to happen.
Not too sure about Dragons. I don't know whether The Lego Movie sequel will
be able to beat it or not. Despicable Me is likely because of it's popularity and
it's upcoming spin-off and 3rd movie.
I know. The animation isn't really as good.
Lackluster plots. You know them.
His name is King Julien. Do you expect his Netflix series to be good?
If he was to find machinery, the movie would have lasted longer. Better
to join the Indy 500 sooner than later. It is still fiction, in which almost anything
is possible.

yeah, i saw the trailer for inside out and i'm a like skeptical about it, but you know how trailer are, i hope it will turn out to be good. i haven't heard much of anything about the good dinosaur yet,but i hope that one is good too. yeah, agreed, though i like toy story of terror and toy story that time forgot, they should stick with good quality for their films.
yeah but sherk is kind out the spot lit now and more focused on dragons which as been a good thing so far, i just hope the ruined with next sequel.
ugh, not really liking the love story idea very much, that just seems like a cope out. i read in an article somewhere that there was a rumor that there was going to be sequel to frozen, but don't known if it is true or not. i would actually like for the lego movie to a get sequel because that movie was really good. oh yeah, i forgot about despicable me, you could very well right because that movie already as a sequel and a spin off movie and the minion characters in it are insanely popular right now.
so yeah, that i gave up on that series and kind on the fence of giving up on the kung fu panda series too because again the animation is not that great and some episodes really lackluster plot. and no, i don't think king julien's netflix series will be any better.
yeah, i aware it would of made the movie longer, but in many cases that is a good thing, it allows time for the story develop more and yeah, there is that issue of timing because it he had to enter the race right away. i understand that is fiction, but still i like it better when the story and character are keep in realm of believability, like i believe this could actually happen in that world of the movie.

Sure, it's out of the spotlight now, but not for the internet!
Quite possibly never for the internet.
Well, it's true, considering Buzz and Jessie had a relationship
ever since the end of Toy Story 2. They've always had it throughout
the franchise, but I don't know if it's a good idea to have the 4th film
be centered around them. Nevertheless, I still look forward to seeing
it. I'll be just a hyped as I was during the session of the 3rd movie!
I'm sure they'll make it right! Pixar has never let us down so far, despite
the ratings of Cars 2 (in which I believe is an underrated movie).
Frozen Fever is actually not a full-on sequel at all. It will be
a short film that will release with the live-action Cinderella
remake. No true possibility for a Frozen sequel, since Disney
doesn't want to force storytelling.
Too bad the Lego Movie lost the chance to win. That movie deserved
to win. We always have the song and sequel to look forward to.
Maybe it was excluded because of it's early release.
Did you know that The Penguins of Madagascar movie was planned to
be direct-to-video?
Also, how did you like the movie?
Note that if Turbo found out on his own, I'm sure he would not be
able to find out about the strip mall and other snails.
Also, I'm not sure if anyone is able to have that much time to
watch a movie that long and that much fun if most of a majority of
the movie's 2nd quarter was him finding a way. They gotta excite them!

yeah, that is true, stuff seems to go on and on with the internet.
yeah, that is true buzz as always had an interested in jessie since her appearance in the second movie, i just don't know whether that is a plot worthy for a movie, but it is true pixar as never let up down with the toy story movies so i do still look forward to seeing it.
oh really? *phew* thank god really because i did want a sequel too that movie, i thought frozen was okay, but certainly worthy of a sequel.
yeah, i thought it was kind of a shame the lego movie didn't win too, but then again it up againist some tough competition with HTTYD 2 and big hero 6, but it dosen't matter, the lego movie is still a winning movie in my book.
kind of figured that movie would be planned for a direct-to-video release because it seemed that way, but of course dreamworks had to put in theaters in hopes it would make more money. i can't really say anything on that movie because i have not seen it yet, it looks like it might some funny parts, but that is about it.
yeah, but i'm sure there is the possibility of him finding out about the strip mall and the other snails worked in that storyline. it is true if you make a movie focus too much of the nitty gitty details, the audience might start to get bored with it, so a monatage would probably more apporiate for that part.

News: The statement about Shrek 5 was wrong.
If I'm not mistaken, I'm sure that they canceled the 5th
movie and stated the 4th one was a good place to end.
In my book too. Hopefully it won't be trashed by How To
Train Your Dragon 3 during 2018.
When you see Penguins, let me know how you feel about it.
How could he have found out about the strip mall?
I think a montage would be good too.
