"'Turtle Dreams' superimposes a turtle on top of a map of the world, more likely dreaming of extending its mobility rather than of military conquest, to which human dream in other films such movements across a map conventionally refer. Nevertheless, the turtle, exceedingly vulnerable underneath its shell, is like an army tank; and the turtle’s benign 'invasion' of a deserted complex of darkened city streets again emphasizes the turtle’s dreamy compensation for this vulnerability."
