Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.This inoffensive, slightly soporific animation is targeted at young children, who may not pick up on its eco-theme, but will probably warm to the titular turtle.
Nothing teenage, mutant or indeed Ninja about Sammy, voiced in old age by John Hurt as he looks back on a life of adventure and lost love: the young Sammy (Dominic Cooper) is mad for she-turtle Shelly (Gemma Arterton), but fate seems bent on keeping them apart. The standard of draughtsmanship is high, though the voicework and the script will not give Pixar any sleepless nights.
