Winter was jeopardising the harvest in a wild land where seeds didn\u2019t seem to take root. The continent was inhabited by natives who taught the pilgrims what products to cultivate and which animals to breed: corn and turkeys. As a sign of gratitude to the natives, the pilgrims decided to introduce a day of Thanksgiving to God, for the overcome famine, to which they invited the native Americans. This traditional feast, each year involves the killing of millions of turkeys, since this is the main dish accompanied with cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Free Birds\u2019 is the revenge of turkeys over mankind: Reggie (the turkey pardoned by the President of the United States) and Jake (the turkey who stands up for the Turkeys Liberation front), team up and travel back in time\u00a0 to the very first Thanksgiving and change the course of history by getting turkey off the menu for good.<\/p>\n<p>Director Jimmy Hayward has co-written, with Scott Mosier, an irreverent, hilarious story that doesn\u2019t spoil the traditional feast, nor questions whether its origins are connected to the colonists\u2019 sense of guilt for having taken the land from the natives. It\u2019s all about the turkeys and their fantastic adventure to avoid becoming the traditional holiday meal.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the plot there are several references to fairytales, literature characters and old movies, scattered here and there with great skill and artistry. The Ugly Duckling-Reggie, finds his path to herodom, despite the odds don\u2019t seem to be on his side. But as Annie Oakley sung in the Broadway Musical \u2018There\u2019s No Business Like Show Business,\u2019 the show must keep going on: the appropriate lyrics that pertinently portray the expected flop with a pun are \u201cEven with a Turkey that you know will fold.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reggie and Jake\u2019s show, and the ball they must keep rolling, is an outright mission to save their poultry specie, just like in the \u2018Last of the Mohicans.\u2019 Some \u2018Back To The Future\u2019 elements will be crucial to accomplish their goal: several \u201cpast Reggies\u201d will alert on what actions to take. Along the way some adventurous hill tumbles in the style of \u2018The Princess Bride\u2019 will intertwine with the turkey-hunter-villain tossed in the sky on a cannon ball just like Baron M\u00fcnchhausen (but in this case he also brings the howitzer with him) and with the romantic Aladdin-Reggie attempts to gain the trust of his beloved turkey-chick Jasmine-Jenny, while they are hand(wing)-in-hand(wing) and their love-dove-turkey attachment blooms.<\/p>\n<p>This extraordinary animation comedy makes an amazing mishmash of stories, frames and dynamics that we have all grown accustomed to through literature and cinema, delivering an entertaining holiday movie. The question is whether this movie will shake up Americans to go \u201ccold turkey\u201d on the traditional Thanksgiving meal in the name of \u2018Free Birds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Technical:
