Turkey is a must-have food for everyone on Thanksgiving in the United States. Just as we eat dumplings on the winter solstice, moon cakes on the Mid-Autumn Festival, and zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival, it is just as legitimate. Few people question why, and even fewer people think about how turkeys feel. Just as people at Pixar think about the feelings of monsters, clownfish, and cars, the creators of ReelFX animation also imagine themselves as turkeys on a whim. They suddenly discovered that if they were a turkey, they wouldn't want to end up on the table. After completely letting go of their imagination, the group of turkeys in human skin thought that there should be such a hero who traveled to the first Thanksgiving in history to erase the turkey from the Thanksgiving menu. Once the big plan is paid off, it can be described as an unworldly achievement.
Fortunately, this group of people led by Jimmy Hayward are not children's dreams, but only for novelty and fun. They assigned two turkeys to the adventures and tasks that could be accomplished by one hero. This adds a lot of conflict, tension and space to the story of the film. Although He Jiong dubbed more of Ricky's roles, it was Jack Du Haitao who played a key role in promoting the development of the plot. The encounters between the two turkeys are very different, and their living conditions are from heaven to earth, so their personality is like a needle-point to a wheat mang. The advantages that the perfect hero who saves the common people should have are equally distributed to Ricky and Jack. At the same time, Ricky and Jack still have problems with them, which makes them each have fatal shortcomings. Ricky is smart and ambitious, but after receiving the "false mercy" of human beings, he lost himself in comfort and lost his original determination to fight; Jack was firm, brave and tenacious, but he was a bit stiff & very careless. The two turkeys are closer to the farce combination of Xu Zheng & Wang Baoqiang. Can they really become heroes and fulfill their mission?
The darkest aspect of "Turkey Story" is that Ricky, who was originally out of the ordinary but was repelled by the domesticated turkey flock because he was always thinking about rebelling against his fate, became a "released turkey" every year. With the help of the US President's mercy, Ricky instantly reversed his chicken life. Not only did he avoid being browned, but he could also enjoy high-level treatments such as pizza, TV, and soft beds. This made him instantly forget the companions who were about to die for the nine days. It wasn't until the unreasonable Jack forcibly snatched him away, that he embarked on a journey of crossing. Obviously, the so-called "release" will not completely change the fate of turkeys. Jack's fanciful "involvement" instead contributed to the final success.
