If you have little ones, you are probably all too familiar with animated movies. Even if you’re not a parent, you may still enjoy them. One of my current favourites is Turbo. A story about your typical underdog daring to dream big; in this case, a snail who dreamed of becoming a professional racer. As luck would have it, through some fortunate circumstances Turbo finds himself with the speed needed to compete and win on the race tracks.
For some reason, animated movies are either a hit or miss with my oldest son Kyle, but Turbo really caught his attention. He watched it over and over again at the cottage during the winter break. Needless to say I was excited to hear that Netflix will be releasing an original Turbo series called Turbo Fast. New episodes, 22 minutes long, were made available as of April 4th and can be easily found on the Kids section of your Netflix subscription. When I told Kyle that he can now watch Turbo Fast shows on Netflix, he wanted to see it immediately.

Warden Rudy Guana proves a worthy competitor for Turbo and his stunt team in DreamWorks Animation’s Turbo FAST only on Netflix
In the first episode, Crazy Fast, you will get introduce to Turbo and his friends (known as the fast action stunt team), a bunch of friendly, outgoing characters. Turbo must save the city from beetles who are causing destruction in their path. He challenges the Beetle on a stunt-filled course and together with his team, they get the Beetles to leave the city. While the series is super cute and focuses on the themes of friendship and believing in your dreams, there are a few differences between the show and the original movie. There is more action and ‘scarier’ characters in the show compared to the movie. The action scenes also resemble anime (Japanese animated productions). However, these subtle differences were not noticed by my son one bit who enjoyed watching the show from start to end.
Together with Netflix, one lucky Mayahood reader will win a free six month subscription to Netflix along with a fun party watching kit (valued at $150). Enter the giveaway via Rafflecopter below (please give it a few seconds to load). Contest is open to all residents of Canada. Contest ends Thursday April 24, 2014. Good-luck!
