Movies that feel likeTurbo (2013)

The tale of an ordinary garden snail who dreams of winning the Indy 500.

If you loved Turbo, the closest films we have are Epic (2013), The Secret of Kells (2009) and Song of the Sea (2014). All three share Turbo's whimsical and warm feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Kirikou and the Sorceress (1998).
