Three years before ALF made him a household name, Paul Fusco made one of his first projects for television. Problem is, A Thanksgiving Tale isn't sure of what it's meant to be.
Produced for Showtime as part of a series of holiday themed puppet specials, this tale of cats & dogs and the turkey that comes between them is lost somewhere between a parody of the oft-adapted tale of the First Thanksgiving and a send-up of, say for example, "West Side Story", because of the feuding between the cats & dogs.
It's basically this. The cats are hungry, and all the local mice have been chased away by the dogs guarding a restaurant nearby. Tom Turkey (Fusco) shows up, and, well, chaos.
A Thanksgiving Tale, at last check, is available on Amazon Prime for streaming.
No rating. Just a public service.
