Free Birds

In the present day, Reggie is a turkey who has always feared Thanksgiving because turkeys are always on the menu, but his attempts to warn his flock have made him an outcast. When the other turkeys finally realize what is happening, they throw Reggie outside in an attempt to save themselves. To his surprise, he is named the “pardoned turkey” by the President of the United States and is taken to Camp David. Reggie soon eases into a routine of doing nothing but enjoying pizza from the “Pizza Dude” and watching Mexican telenovelas.

One night, Reggie is kidnapped by Jake, a member of the Turkey Freedom Front, who says he has been instructed by “The Great Turkey” to take Reggie and go “back in time to the first Thanksgiving to get turkeys off the menu.” They steal a time machine controlled by an A.I. named S.T.E.V.E. (Space Time Exploration Vehicle Envoy) from a government facility, and time-travel back to three days before the first Thanksgiving in the year of 1621. Once there, they are ambushed by colonial hunters led by Myles Standish, and are rescued by native turkeys led by Chief Broadbeak and his two children, Ranger and Jenny.
