Breakdown: Domestic (North America): $83 million International: $199.5 millionBudget: $127 millionMarketing Expenses: $150–175 million Despite its global earnings, Turbo was considered a financial disappointment for DreamWorks Animation. The film's performance fell short of expectations, leading the studio to take a $13.5 million write-down. This outcome was attributed to factors such as the film's release timing amid a crowded summer market and competition from other animated films. In terms of global rankings, Turbo was among the top 10 highest-grossing animated films of 2013, securing the 5th position.🏁 Conclusion Turbo is a heartfelt and visually engaging animated film that blends underdog sports drama with a comedic twist — featuring a snail as a race car driver. Despite its somewhat conventional storyline, it stands out for its vibrant animation, positive message about perseverance and self-belief, and an energetic voice cast led by Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson. While it wasn’t a massive box office smash, Turbo succeeded in delivering fun for families and inspired a follow-up animated series (Turbo FAST) that extended its appeal to younger audiences. At its core, Turbo champions the idea that no dream is too big — even if you're the smallest racer on the track. Read More
