Thanksgiving Day

About This Movie

Thanksgiving Day has this quirky vibe, you know? It's an animated flick that follows a bear and his platypus sidekick as they navigate the absurdities of space. The pacing is a bit all over, which kind of adds to its charm - it feels like a madcap adventure every second. The visuals lean into that DIY aesthetic, especially with the dumpster-shaped spacecraft, and there's something refreshingly chaotic about it. Plus, the humor hits in unexpected ways, poking fun at bureaucracy with those corrupt space-cops. You get the feeling that it doesn’t take itself too seriously, which is a nice contrast to the themes of cooperation and friendship woven throughout.

Thanksgiving Day is an interesting piece for collectors, especially given its unique animation style and offbeat humor. It's relatively scarce, probably due to its obscure director and limited release, which adds to its allure. I've seen a few copies pop up in specialty shops and online, but they tend to move quickly, as there's a niche audience that appreciates its eccentric storytelling and distinctive aesthetic.
