Storyline
Did you know

- GoofsThe villagers toss dynamite at the turkeys. Dynamite was invented in 1867.
- Crazy creditsThe film opens with a tongue-in-cheek disclaimer stating: "The following film is a work of fiction. It is loosely based on historical events and is, in no way, meant to be historically accurate. Except for the part about the talking turkeys. That part is totally real."

This truly is the movie where they go back in time to the first thanksgiving to get turkeys off the menu
This movie is truly the movie where they go back in time to the first thanksgiving to get turkeys off the menu. In this movie, the turkeys go back in time to the first thanksgiving to get turkeys off the menu. When I watched the movie, I was a changed man, the story was written, the plot existed, and the animation was animated. Truly one of the movies of all time where they go back in time to the first thanksgiving to get turkeys off the menu. There truly isn't another movie where they go back in time to the first thanksgiving to get turkeys off the menu that is as good as Free Birds. The quote "those are some angry birds" was also very expertly crafted as it was a very in depth reference to the mobile game angry birds, truly one of the movies of all time.
