Plots: A pair of turkeys discover a time machine and decide to use it to travel to the first Thanksgiving, to take turkeys off the menu forever. After years of fruitless warning of his farmyard brethren of the coming Thanksgiving doom, Reggie the Turkey finds himself spared as the annual Pardoned Turkey. However, Reggie’s easy life is disrupted by Jake, a fanatic turkey who drags him along with the insane idea of going back in time to make sure turkeys are not part of the first Thanksgiving. Through foolhardiness and luck, the pair manage to take an experimental time machine to do just that. Now in 1621 at the Plymouth colony, Reggie and Jake find themselves in the middle of a turkey clan’s struggle for survival. In doing so, their preconceptions of the world and themselves are challenged forever in a conflict from which the world will never be the same. Standing out from the rest of the flock for his exceptional intelligence, Reggie, an ordinary and plump farm turkey, realises the terrifying truth that his end is near, and so is for the remaining of his feathered companions. But, when the President of the United States himself chooses Reggie as the year’s traditional “pardoned turkey”, a lush life in the bosom of the White House awaits, only to be interrupted by Jake, the radical activist. Clearly out of his comfort zone, Reggie must team up with the strong-willed brother-in-arms to fulfil their species’ higher mission: to travel back in time to the First Thanksgiving in the unknown Plymouth Colony of 1621, rewrite history, and make sure not a single turkey is ever again on the holiday menu. But, can the intrepid time-travelling duo inspire their fellow fowls to fight for their lives?
