First Trailer for DreamWorks Animation’s ‘Turbo’, with Ryan Reynolds’ Racing Snail, Debuts

This coming year is going to be a corker in the animation department, but one film no one’s really sure about is DreamWorks’ Turbo, which is a (now) rare original idea that aims to compete with the slew of sequels on their way in 2013. This teaser trailer gives us our first real look at the film, and we have to admit it’s quite charming. Ryan Reynolds is the voice behind our protagonist, Theo aka Turbo, a speed-racing snail.

Joining Reynolds are a brilliant voice cast including Paul Giamatti, Michael Pena, Luis Guzman, Michelle Rodriguez, Maya Rudolph, Samuel L. Jackson, Bill Hader and Richard Jenkins, and the film arrives in theatres on July 19th.
