TURBO’S PIT CREW
“Turbo” (in 3D and 2D) is a
heart-stopping action adventure with lively characters starring the voices of

Whiplash, Snoop Dogg as Smoove Move, Maya Rudolph as Burn, Ben Schwartz
as Skidmark, Mike Bell as White Shadow, Michael Peña as Tito, Luis Guzman as
Angelo, Bill Hader as Guy Gagne, Ken Jeong as Kim Ly and Michelle Rodriguez as
Paz.
Along the way, Turbo and his brother
Chet meet new snails who help achieve his dream of joining the Indy 500 race.
CHET
Turbo’s
cautious, protective and supportive brother voiced by multi award winning actor
Paul Giamatti. Chet is a snail who is a stick-in-the-mud and
do-everything-by-the-rules kind of guy. His philosophy is: “Do not try to leave
your shell or do anything risky. ’I am not a risk-taker. I am ‘Mr. Safety’.”
WHIPLASH
The
charismatic leader and reigning champ of the Racing Snails voiced by Samuel L.
Jackson. A warm jovial guy who treats his crew like family who helps
Turbo realize his dream.
Whiplash
has great inspiring abilities. He's able to rally people around him and to make
them think that they're capable of doing things that they ordinarily wouldn't
be able to do.
SMOOVE
MOVE
The
Zen-like, laid back racing snail voiced by multi-platinum artist, actor and
entertainment icon Snoop Dogg.
A
super-cool-low-rider with a blinged-out shell whose motto is derived from what
his mamma taught him “Don’t mess with what you’ve been blessed with. I’m
S-to-the-M-to-the-double- O-V-E! Wouldn’t change that for the world!
Preach.”
BURN
Burn
is the only female in the crew voiced by SNL icon Maya Rudolph. A toughie who
doesn’t have trouble holding her own amidst the testosterone-fueled, speed-worshipping
teammates. Sly and sassy and always chewing gum, Burn hides her soft side
under a hard outer shell (adorned with shooting flames).
SKIDMARK
Skidmark
or Number 13, this master of skids is voiced by Ben Schwartz. Sentimental
and gravity-defiant, his shell is souped-up like a dragster prone to make long
skidding noises.
WHITE
SHADOW
White
Shadow resembles an intriguing cross between Jabba the Hut and Evel Knievel
voiced by Mike Bell (a former DreamWorks Animation storyboard artist who initially
done the temp voice but the short-term gig became a co-starring voice role due
to the perfect voice initially rendered). Full of false bravado and
real laughs, White Shadow considers himself to be “fast, like a shadow” –
ignoring the fact that shadows aren’t inherently fast. White Shadow
prefers to be mysterious and his dream is to have a burrito named after him to
be called White Shadorrito.
The family film from DreamWorks Animation centers on the engaging crew of snails starting with a garden snail named Turbo who leaves his snail community behind to begin his journey to fulfill his dream of becoming a racer in the Indy 500. Swept from a freeway overpass onto the hood of a sports car, and is then propelled into the muscle car’s air intake valve, Turbo is then charged with explosive nitrous oxide, altering his molecular structure. The freak accident infuses Turbo with incredible speed – he can reach 200 miles per hour – and he now blazes across the streets of Los Angeles like a neon bullet.
