Free Birds
is one those run of the mill animation films, in fact most of the animation
films these days can be branded in that category. They are not dull or boring
but they surely aren’t very exciting either. Since most of them have animals as
characters, kids love them anyway.
This film
is about turkeys. Reggie (Voice of Owen Wilson) and Jake (Woody Harrelson) with
the conviction of the former, decide to go back in time and take turkey off the
menu for Thanksgiving. In an unexpected turn of events they find themselves in
a time machine and go back to 1621 when the ritual of Thanksgiving started.
They meet a
bunch of turkeys that live in seclusion but it’s a matter of time before the
human beings get to them. Reggie and Jake along with Jenny have to team up to
accomplish their mission. Like most films, this also is about friendship and
self belief and those virtues will never go out of fashion.
The 3D is totally ineffective and this norm of releasing
every animation film in that format doesn’t really give the audience their
moneys worth. On the whole, this one is passable.
