Plot Synopsis

This live-action family film is based on original characters and a story written in 1968 by Jim Henson and his longtime writing partner, Jerry Juhl. Recently divorced Ron Emmerson, and his two kids Tim and Annie, spend a rustic Thanksgiving at the farm of their eccentric Aunt Cly. Surprised by the lack of internet and technology in Turkey Hollow, Tim and Annie soon find themselves exploring the mysterious surrounding woods. They soon get swept up in tracking down the Howling Hoodoo, an elusive monster that, up until now, Turkey Hollow residents have long dismissed as mere legend. The Thanksgiving holiday threatens to take a bleak turn when a scheming neighbor blames Aunt Cly for the loss of his turkeys, and vows to take the farm. The family teams up with some magical furry creatures to help save the day.
