Filled with whimsical creatures and characters originally imagined by creative mastermind Jim Henson and his longtime writing partner, Jerry Juhl, the story follows a recently divorced dad (Jay Harrington) and his two kids as they travel to celebrate Thanksgiving with their eccentric Aunt Cly (Mary Steenburgen) in the rustic town of Turkey Hollow. Exploring the mysterious surrounding woods leads the kids to discover the secret of the legendary Howling Hoodoo. When a scheming neighbour threatens to take Aunt Cly’s farm, the family enlists surprising new friends to help save the farm — and Thanksgiving! Chris “Ludacris” Bridges appears as an on-screen narrator in the film. (Beyond Home Entertainment)
