Thankfully, the movie is also void of foul content. The turkeys exhibit several biblical virtues, including sacrifice, hard work and standing for something bigger than oneself. That’s not to say FREE BIRDS lacks moral lessons.

Its negative portrayal of the Pilgrims, who suffered extreme hardships, is, at best, distasteful, at worst, disrespectful. The biggest problem with FREE BIRDS is its revisionist history. Jake and Reggie hatch a plan to stop the pilgrims planned feast and possibly change turkey history.įREE BIRDS is somewhat entertaining and has some memorable moments, but it fails at being laugh-out-loud funny, even with its talented cast. Once arriving in 1621, they’re thrust in the middle of a cat and mouse hunt as they meet a flock of turkeys constantly hunted by a barbaric pilgrim hunter.

FREE BIRDS is an animated movie about two unlikely turkey heroes, Jake and Reggie, Jake and Reggie travel back in time to 1621 to stop the Pilgrims from putting turkey on their menu.
