Featured review
The Pilgrims land on Plymouth Rock. One Pilgrim goes hunting for a turkey. One turkey has a fun time pranking the Pilgrim. It's a surprising takedown of the Pilgrims. It's a more adult MGM cartoon from Tex Avery in the sense that the jokes are hitting older. There are political jokes. I don't even understand how Plymouth Rock is a chicken. Is that a brand of chicken back in the day? Oh! It's a breed of chicken. How many kids would know that? How many adults would know that? I don't mind a lot of this, but it's often flying at my head if not over my head. Are they really saying that the Pilgrims are leading an invasion force to the New World? Otherwise, I do really, really like the ending. It's a fitting ending since I don't really care about either character.

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOn the ship "Ye Mayflower", are a couple of items WWII audiences would recognize. First is a plate saying "Henrye J. Kiser Construction Co." This is a reference to Henry J. Kaiser and his Kaiser Shipbuilding Co. which was a major builder of transport ships during the war. Second is the red "C" gas rationing sticker, which allotted more gasoline than "A" and "B" stickers and was issued to professionals, clergy, and war-essential workers. The cartoon also shows wartime tobacco rationing, someone receiving his draft classification of "1-A" (fit for service), and "4-F" (not qualified for service), but working at a Lockheed aircraft plant and living in a trailer due to housing shortages.
