Review of Free Birds (2013) by Everett J — 05 Nov 2013

Not all animated movies are as good as Disney or Dreamworks movies. That's ok, because some aren't going to be "classics", just time fillers. "Free Birds" is one of those movies that is enjoyable while you watch, and when it's over it's over. I doubt this will be shown every Thanksgiving like "Grinch" is around Christmas. But that's fine, because it's still a light, funny, decent enough animated movie. Owen Wilson and Woody Harrelson voice two Turkeys that go back in time to stop turkeys from becoming the main dish on thanksgiving. The voice cast is good, especially Harrelson. He's like a pothead turkey. Yeah it's wacky and out there, but hey it's for kids, and Grant enjoyed it. There's a lot of little jokes here or there for the adults, so I laughed quite a bit. There are much better cartoons out there, but for an hour and a half, this is solid entertainment that the whole family will like. Besides, there aren't many Thanksgiving cartoons out there, so this time of the year, is perfect to give it a shot.
