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. Read full review

Turkey Hollow clearly trades on the Henson name, given how generic this story is. Nevertheless, it’s in keeping with the spirit of its namesake’s work, and represents a kind of gooey throwback to the days when networks regularly churned out such holiday specials. Read full review

Although Turkey Hollow’s long journey to the screen has rendered it into run-of-the-mill family fare, it earns a few points for genuine weirdness. Read full review

Director Kirk Thatcher is saddled with a fairly dated concept--family in crisis finds salvation off the grid with magical woodland monsters--that might have worked as a one-hour special but feels stretched to fill the film’s two-hour running time. Read full review

Turkey Hollow is spending most of the time laying foundation for a plot that really isn't complicated enough to justify the exposition. Read full review

However for all of it's simplicity and odd choices (Ludacris makes for an amusing, but oddly placed narrator) there's enough humorous and charming elements to make it worth a watch if you are in the mood for something (really) different around the Thanksgiving holiday.… Expand

Jim Henson would have given this presentation a D-; lousy! It was very poorly written; definitely far below Henson's standards. Characters and story were not developed. I give the writers a D for this; hope they came cheap; my kids could of written a better script.
