They’re back! Those crazy turkeys, Reggie, Jake and all their feathered friends, are back on DVD with a special comb package just in time for Thanksgiving.
In case you haven’t seen this hilarious, fun family film you are missing out. I reviewed it back when it was originally released on Blu-ray/DVD.
Free Birds is the story of two turkeys – Reggie (voiced by Owen Wilson) and Jake (Woody Harrelson). Reggie is the Presidential pardoned turkey enjoying the good like at Camp David (which includes a lot of pizza). Jake was bred and born in captivity but managed to escape when he was young.
Jake is convinced that the government has a secret time machine. He wants to use it to travel back in time to the first Thanksgiving to make sure that turkey is not on the menu. Jake is actually correct – there is a time machine. He is able to get inside of it (along with unwilling participant Reggie) to go back in time to the first Thanksgiving. There the pair meet up with some of the early settlers (some of them are not so nice) as well as a whole community of turkeys who are doing a good job staying off the settler’s plates. That is until Reggie and Jake come along and mess things up.
Can Reggie and Jake fix things before it’s too late? Will they be able to change the course of culinary history? To find out you need to pick up a copy of Free Birds.
The new packaging includes a super adorable plush toy (pictured above). The special addition package is available exclusively at Walmart.
Fans of the movie will appreciate the little plush “chick”. He/She would also make a great stocking stuffer for the little one in your family.
In addition to the film and the super cute plushie, there are plenty of special features to keep your family “stuffed” with laughter.

Happy Thanksgiving from Reggie, Jake and the rest of the Free Birds gang.
