Man, look at that “S” car go! Get it? S Car Go? As in, Escargot? As in snails? *cricket* *cricket* Hello? Is this thing on? Apparently not… So much for starting with a joke. Anyways, this weekend’s Family Movie Night featured DreamWorks’ latest hit Turbo!

Heck, the kid’s on cloud 9 anytime we just visit Nintendo …
