Two kids find a magical adventure waiting for them near their quirky aunt's farm in this Thanksgiving-themed family tale from Jim Henson, narrated by Chris "Ludacris" Bridges. After their father (Jay Harrington) takes them to visit their Aunt Cly (Mary Steenburgen), Tim (Graham Verchere) and Annie (Genevieve Buechner) find the seemingly mythical Hollow Hoodoo.

Overall, this is smart, solid whole-family entertainment, modest in its ambitions yet far above the run of made-for-TV holiday yuck you will be offered in the weeks ahead. And it has puppets.

A modern-day fairy tale starring fantastical creatures who communicate in Mad magazine sound effects ("Burble," "Zorp," "Squonk," and "Thwring") ought to feel a little more unconventional than Turkey Hollow.

High art it's not, but unlike most overstuffed Lifetime movies, the whole family can watch together, and nobody winds up a chalk outline.

"I'm probably missing some great Internet snark right now," [Annie] whines. "#boring." Alas, the same hashtag can be applied to Turkey Hollow at times.

There's something here for everyone, from a curious new collection of Henson monsters to affecting themes about the struggles and triumphs of parenthood.
