Amazon.co.uk Review
It might not be the highest profile animated film of the year, but that’s no reason to write off A Turtle’s Tale: Sammy’s Adventure 3D. It’s a film aimed at a younger audience, with a strong ecological message at its heart, and bears more than a passing tip of the hat to Finding Nemo. Yet while it doesn’t measure up to Pixar’s movie, children are likely to be content for the length of its running time.
A Turtle’s Tale: Sammy’s Adventure 3D tells the story of Sammy the turtle, and takes in five decades of his life and the colourful characters he meets along the way. It’s significantly enlivened by a strong voice cast, including John Hurt, Dominic Cooper and Gemma Arterton, who put some real gusto into their work.
The film is a Belgian movie that’s been redubbed for the UK market, and that alone is usually enough to put people off. But don’t be discouraged here, particularly when you factor in the genuinely impressive 3D.--Jon Foster
DVD Description
A young sea-turtle’s romantic quest for his first, lost love, a fellow hatchling, born on the same Californian beach, takes him on a marathon voyage across the seven seas, to the furthest corners of the earth. In a world under increasing threat from environmental pollution, where the oceans are a battleground between the forces of nature and mankind, can Sammy the sea-turtle complete his dangerous 50-year mission and find his soul mate Shelly and the happiness they deserve? The thrills and comical spills are brought to the screen by director Ben Stassen (Fly Me To The Moon) with the help of a top-class British voice cast, starring Dominic Cooper (Mamma Mia), Gemma Arterton (St Trinian’s, Clash of The Titans), John Hurt (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows), Kayvan Novak (Four Lions, Fonejacker) and Robert Sheehan (Misfits).

Ok everyone who has a 3D tv and 3D bluray needs to get this. This is the best 3D movie ever. If you love 3D that literally comes off the screen from the very start, you will love and have to have this in your collection. I saw this in the cinema after being blown away by the trailer. This to me is the only 3D bluray that can test the range of your new 3D bluray player. The whole movie is in proper stand out 3D, this is the 3D i love. Without being too gimmicky(and what's wrong with that?) the 3D draws you into this marine world of Sammy's and the dangers of the deep. Ben Strassen used to direct the big screen IMAX movies in 3D. He has always been a pioneer of 3D long before James Cameron revealed his own in-depth 3D with Avatar. My fave movie that Strassen did was Encounters in the third Dimension which featured the beautiful Elvira. It was a short movie. Then he broke into feature length 3D movies with Fly me to the moon which was brilliant in 3D, now he has another great 3D movie under his directors belt. A turtle tale is a story that both kids and adults will love. The story follows a young turtle called Sammy from his birth when he breaks out of his egg (this scene is perfect for kids, they will reach out and want to help the little Sammy during this scene, even i did) to his adult life and finally to his older life. All the time, you have water almost coming over the screen, it actually looked like it would flood the floor outside the TV. Sharks swim right at you, Piranhas come out at you, in a way that would put Piranha 3D to shame. Snakes slither out of the screen and even the turtles swam at you and away from you. This movie is an absolute 3D treat and so un to watch. But this movie also carries a message and it is an ecological one. One that does need to be taken notice of. When a film makes you ashamed of being a human, you know that it has done something right. This has been dubbed so many times for americans, french (where it originates from) and this british version. This contains some great british actors starting with the great John Hurt as Sammy when he's older. Giving the wisdom of an older turtle and telling the story as the adventure unfolds, Strassen has the younger Sammy voiced by Dominic Cooper (from the devil's double and Mamma Mia) while the love interest is played exceptionally by the lovely Gemma Alterton (Prince of Persia, Clash of the titans (2009) and St trinians. Along the way they meet some strange yet unforgettable characters,one of which had me in stitches. You will know who she is when you see her (small spoiler! she fights a shark that attacks her). This is a film for all ages and it is not too sickly for adults either. I throughly enjoyed watching this and it is easily my fave 3D film I have on 3D bluray.

Bought this to test out 3D Passive LG TV.Kids and me all put on 3D cinema glasses (7 came with tv) and sat back to watch. The movie was sharp and clear with depth once 3D TV settings were adjusted. The film was fun to watch and was abouth Turtles and their life adventures. The film was put together well and is a joy to watch with a feel good factor. I found the quality of 3d varied between different 3D players. The best quality was the PS3 then sony's own 3d players then LG's player I didn't try the samsung or panasonic 3d blu ray players. The kids have watched this film many times and about 3 times the screen play comes out at you as if out of the screen, but mostly its about depth..I guess a very large screen would be ideal but my ideal size to room ratio is 42".

I bought this DVD for my grandsons and am very happy with my purchase. It is a great, child friendly tale with some good lessons to learn about friendship, caring for each other and being brave. The 3D effect is brilliant, the characters come right out of the TV! The only downside is the length of time it takes to get to the start of the main film, but that is just a niggle.
