We just have a small summary and character design to go on. Hardly enough to pre-judge a project before it's even started animating.

DreamWorks Animation has assembled a massive voice cast for its latest animated production, Turbo. Paul Giamatti, Michael Pena, Luis Guzmán, Bill Hader, Richard Jenkins, Ken Jeong, Michelle Rodriguez, Maya Rudolph, Ben Schwartz, Kurtwood Smith, Snoop Dogg and Samuel L. Jackson are joining Ryan Reynolds in Turbo, the company’s original feature that has a release date of July 19, 2013.

David Soren, a DreamWorks Animation veteran as a story artist, voice actor and director is set to direct the film based on his own original concept. He is co-writing the script with Robert Siegel and Darren Lemke.
Lisa Stewart is producing with Susan Rogers serving as co- producer.

According to DWA, Turbo follows an ordinary garden snail (Reynolds) with dreams of racing greatness. His obsession with speed and all things fast has made him an oddity and outsider in the slow and cautious snail community, and a constant embarrassment to his careful older brother. When he is one day imbued with the power of amazing speed, he embarks on a quest that will see him racing in the Indianapolis 500.
