TURBO DOGS – This hilarious 3-D CGI animated series features a comical cast of canine friends who are wild about race car driving! Set in Racerville, a world filled with dogs of all different shapes, sizes, temperaments and pedigrees, the Turbo Dogs include Dash, the selfless, enthusiastic competitor; GT, the natural-born mechanic who can build an engine from a leash, a collar and empty dog food cans; Mags, the only female Turbo Dog who is anything but girlie; Strut, the dashound who always tries taking shortcuts that backfire; Stinkbert, the dog who spends as much time rolling around at the garbage dump as he does with friends; and Clutch, the good guy with a penchant for klutziness. Accelerated adventures filled with comedic high jinks emphasize friendship, fair play, and teamwork. Among the antics debuting in March:
