The Turkey and the Hen: A Thanksgiving Love Story

Genre: Family Animation

 

Logline: A pampered, proud and naive turkey hen, descended from turkey royalty but displaced to a chicken coop, must test her true mettle as she undertakes a mission through the wilderness to rescue her turkey fiancé, free her relatives, and bring them to the Promised Land.

 

Synopsis: Henrietta Cassandra Raleigh is a spoiled and naïve turkey hen, descended from royalty, who is taken by a farmer from her home to live at his chicken coop. Locking horns constantly with the commanding Rooster, who runs the coop, Henrietta innocently asks him to forge a peaceful alliance with her, something airy fairy so that they can all live in love and harmony.  Rooster convinces Henrietta to marry him and Henrietta does.  However, she soon finds out that Rooster cannot give up his harem of hens. Henrietta divorces Rooster.  Believing that the male species is out to rip the female’s heart out, Henrietta is very cautious when a royal turkey named Thomas Durbanville, descended from her own ancestors, arrives at the chicken coop.  But Henrietta is swayed by Thomas’ loving and gentle nature, and by his desire to take her to the Promised Land where true love reigns and all animals get along.  Henrietta agrees to marry him, but when Thanksgiving approaches and she realizes that Thomas’ life is in danger, Henrietta and Thomas run away. But they don’t get far.  The Farmer catches them both, puts Henrietta back in the coop, and takes Thomas into the farmhouse. The Farmer is about to chop Thomas’ head off to prepare him for Thanksgiving dinner when the Farmer’s daughter drags him away, protesting that she doesn’t want Thomas killed.  As the Farmer argues with his daughter, Fox, wily and bloodthirsty, captures Thomas and runs off with him.  Henrietta, Rooster, Mother Hen, and Mouse go on a journey through the wilderness to find Thomas, rescue him and Henrietta’s relatives, and bring them all to the Promised Land.  Along the way, Henrietta tests her true mettle and learns what it really means to be a grown up hen with a self-sacrificial, courageous, discerning and faithful outlook on life.

 

A family friendly comedy, loads of fun for the kids, with a message to be thankful for what you have and to get along with others, living in faith that one day the Promised Land will become a reality. An animation that will please the holiday audience at Thanksgiving.
