Synopsis: 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.

Ohhh!

- Hi.

- Hello.

- Is this Turkey Paradise?

- Sh!

- See anything?

- Nothing here!

Oh, we lost them again,

Captain Standish.

I can see that. Now keep looking!

Yes, sir!

They're here.

Oh, I can feel it.

Hello, Turkeys of ye olde time.

We've come from the future in a time

machine named S.T.E.V.E. To save you...

Quiet! We were leading the hunters

away from our nest

till you came along shrieking

like terrified hens. Who are you?

- Yeah, you tell them, Ranger.

- Right, Furley? Whoo!

Don't leave me hanging, Ranger.

Furley's right there. He looks up to me.

The hunters are returning.

We need to move.

I have the lead.

Everyone follow me.

- Hm!

- He has the lead?

- Stay in formation.

- In formation, stay!

This is really dangerous!

Ah! Ah! Ah!

- Hold on.

- Oh, boy.

This is a fast paced day.

I love it though.

We should catch up with the others.

Wait!

Just ate, that's the only thing

holding me back. How you doing?

Ow!

- Come on!

- Ah!

Whoa!

My name's Reggie, by the way.

I'm a Pisces.

I'm Jenny. I'm running for my life.

Round them up, boys!

Everyone, this way.

This way, everyone.

There they are!

Quick!

- Oof!

- Furley!

Gotcha.

Yah!

Out of the way!

- Come on, come on, come on!

- Gah-yah!

Come here, you!

Whoa! Sh!

Whoa. Come on.

- Okay, he's leaving.

- Great.

So, what's a Pisces?

Oh, wow.

Is everything okay?

I don't know. Is it?

Oh, I fell out of the nest

when I was a baby.

- Oh! So, that's why your eye is...

- What's wrong with my eye?

I'm just kidding.

Whenever I get nervous, it goes...

There! Now there's just one of you.

Ranger, what should we do now?

We should return home

and report what happened.

No. We should attack the fort

and free your captured comrades.

Furley and Amos are my friends,

but we cannot risk the safety

of the flock.

Then I'll go myself

if you lack the courage.

- Oh!

- Courage?

Oh...

I'll show you courage!

Yeah!

Harsh.

Enough with your impressive

and very gross display.

Let's just get back home.

Oh!

- Wow.

- It's all about confidence.

Ow!

Bradford! Come out here!

Get out here! Governor Bradford!

Please, gentlemen, please.

Settle down, all right?

- You guys act like you're starving.

- We are starving!

We want the food in storage!

We have talked about this.

That food is for the coming feast

- with the Wampanoag Indians.

- But we're hungry now!

- We're all hungry.

- You don't look hungry!

I've got a hypothyroid issue.

Now as you know,

we have not stored enough food

to see us through the winter.

See that hill? That's last winter.

That will be all of us, if we do not

become friends with the Indians.

We need their help. Without it,
