First of all let me clarify - the movie is not bad, it does have great graphics and effects, but did not impressed me at all. So I was more than skeptical about the TV series, but since I showed the movie to my two-year-old son, decided to give the TV series a try anyway.I was more than impressed with the TV series. Especially the first 3 episodes (currently saw the first 6 episodes from season 1), because they lack violence and it's pure racing fun. Speaking of violence they introduced some creepy insects (my son got scared of the spiders in one of the episodes, so careful with the little kids!), but in general Turbo FAST are super-fun to watch series.The funny thing is these do not have the superior graphics of the actual movie, but the story is much more interesting and fun. Basically every episode features a race with a different rival with often very funny characteristics. There might be an additional task, like a mini-quest or fight or character dilemma, but in general the series are about the race and this time all the snails do race.The most important thing is that this movie features very distinct characters and this is what's most catchy here. Every character is projected with unique features, tag lines, moves and look and it makes it a fun journey to the viewer to discover the characters bit by bit in every episode.What is real fun is that they do incorporate here and there some mild adult fun, making joke of known pop-culture phenomena, like for example "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" (1977) and so on (won't go into details for not to spoil anyone).In general watching "Turbo FAST", gives the feeling of watching "Dexter's Laboratory" (1996) very much - same short, funny and fast- action packed style of show, except "Turbo FAST" seems funnier to me.And one more important thing - the music is much better than the music on the movie. It is a blend of pop and western-movie- soundtrack (think of Ennio Morricone), so expect some ear candies here.Basically I love everything about these series, starting even with the title sequence. It's just what TV series should be - short, cool and fun, not necessarily with great graphics and effects - pack a cool story with cool music and let the people have fun watching it.

Turbo fast is an amazing series based off the not-so amazing movie. My congratulations to Netflix for taking a dull movie with cardboard characters and making it into a clever cartoon series with very individual characters. Every snail in the F.A.S.T crew (as well as the villains) have distinct and unique characteristics. One of my favorite aspects of this show is that it goes beyond just snails and incorporates insects, birds, reptiles, and all sorts of other animals into the mix (again all with their own personalities). Although this may sound childish, I think there is nothing I hate about this show and I love it very much.

This series has an amazing cast, writing and outstanding laugh out loud moments! The story which I guess takes place after the movie (which is still need to watch), is about Turbo and his Fast Action Racing Stunt Team (F.A.S.T) competing in races around the world. Each episodes last 10 mins in 2 segments, like Adventure Time, Ren and Stimpy etc. The stories poke fun at stereotyping, with funny references that only some older adults would recognize, for example one episode when Ants are invading Starlight City, they act like drones and said 'All your bases are belong to us', referencing the now meme worthy broken English from the game Zero Wing. One of my favourite episodes is where the gang goes to Japan and parodies Anime style fights, with taco clawed ninjas and Godzilla included, some jokes don't hit the mark, but man when they do, you will be laughing out loud!The animation is remarkable, even better than the film its based on, the colours are vibrant and look incredible on the racing segments. The voice cast is flawless, all characters have a distinctive personality, if a bit two dimensional, I commend the voice actors work, my personal favourites being Phil Lamarr as Smooth Moves and Amir Talai as Skidmark.With Outstanding humour, voice cast, great supporting characters and an animation style to die for, its really not to be missed!

I found "Turbo" to be an average movie at best, and the series based by DreamWorks films tend to be pretty boring. ("Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness" wasn't as good as the movies and "Dragons: Riders of Berk" was just plain dull in my opinion)Fortunately, "Turbo FAST" turned out to be much better than I was expecting, having not only a more interesting animation style (While the CGI used in the movie was decent, it wasn't nothing spectacular) with good designs and a neat use of colors. So far, the episodes I have seen of "Turbo FAST" had more interesting (and less predictable) plots than the movie, being way more enjoyable.Without being a masterpiece, I consider "Turbo FAST" to be a huge improvement over the movie in which it was inspired, being more entertaining, dynamic and creative. I really hope the future DreamWorks series follow this same pattern of quality.}6.5/10
