I thought the opposite, that it looks horrific, but that could just be the commercials playing up the shallower aspects of the film easier to transmit. It's hard to tell with animated movies, since they're all the same in ads.
Society has declined.
Loves feel-good animation a whole lot.Avoid this movie like Foodfight ?!
Okay.
Even if I had different face, I AM STILL DISGRACED.Come on, it doesn't look nearly as bad as y'all are making it out to be. It looks funny enough for what it is, a story about turkeys saving other turkeys from being Thanksgiving dinner.
Well, the premise seems like a dumbed down Chicken Run with time travelling shenigans, but it seems self aware enough to be fun.

Time traveling shenanigans are usually enough to save even the dumbest movies.
WROOOONG!
Loves feel-good animation a whole lot.I have a problem with cartoons where animals who are clearly sentient get eaten, it feels too close to cannibalism for my comfort. Other than that, the story sounds- mediocre, like a TV special about Thanksgiving's origin than an actual movie.
This actually looks promising, and I am all for giving a new CGI feature studio a chance!
FACT: John K. contributed some exploratory development art for the early stages MANY years ago.

you know who made the open season sequels? same company.
"we have to get vaccines against hunger"... no. Those were made by Sony Animation, not REEL FX.
but- but- their wikipedia page says other wise....
"we have to get vaccines against hunger"Anyone can edit Wikipedia.
Regardless of which studio churned this out, I'm pretty sure I will never watch it. The trailer really turned me away.
Today's the day, guys!
…and it's at 12% on Rotten Tomatoes. That's even lower than The Smurfs 2.
Peace is the only battle worth waging.Guh.
This does not bode well.
12-14: Reel FX did co-produce the Open Season sequels with Sony. The content is on Reel FX's Wikipedia page with a source that backs it up.
The ending is the most amazingly stupid case of Product Placement ever.
The Turkeys change history by getting DELIVERY Chuck E. Cheese pizza sent back in time to the First Thanksgiving meal to keep turkeys off the menu.
...
...That's not the ending to a movie, that's the ending to a terrible fanfic.
Looking for some stories?For petes sake. Turkeys were NOT eaten on the actual thanksgiving day. It was DEER. Just thought I'd point that out people.
Looking at John K's concept art for this makes me wish that the movie took some of his points for this. In the end. I'm just going to avoid this and picture it being in a 50 cent bin at Walmart.
Not that it would prevent people from eating them anyways. When you find a big, fat, nutricious Galliformes and you're still forging the cultural identity of a country, chances are that you will include it in at least one of the holidays' menu.
Vikings never had two horns on their helmets, yet everyone wore them in How To Train Your Dragon. Hollywood movies are the last places you need to go to look for authenticity.
[up The problem is that the horned helmets were never a plot point.
The entire plot point of this is based on that inaccuracy.
I'm having to learn to pay the priceThe turkeys also talk and can time travel. That the first Thanksgiving didn't have turkey doesn't matter one bit.
Coming November 1st. Distributed by a studio I've never heard of.
Trailer is here.
