Synopsis/Details
At Featherbrook Farm, Thanksgiving means one thing: disappearing turkeys. Every year, cages roll out, feathers vanish, and silence takes over. But this year, one rebellious turkey dares to break the cycle. Waru, a sharp-witted, winged underdog with a wounded past and an unbreakable spirit, uncovers the terrifying truth—his kind are being sold for slaughter. Determined not to be anyone’s holiday centerpiece, he sparks a quiet rebellion from inside the coop. Alongside Mira, a gifted feather-tech engineer, Hazel, a no-nonsense survivalist, and Corks, a clumsy but inventive oddball, Waru rallies the flock to defy their fate. After a harrowing glider escape, they crash-land into a secret resistance run by Mags, a former farm hen turned revolutionary. But their freedom is fragile. One of their own may have betrayed them, and the farmer is closing in fast with plans to profit big before parade weekend. Tensions rise as the turkeys must train, build, and outwit their captors. In a thrilling final act, the flock executes a bold rescue mission to liberate hundreds of imprisoned birds before Thanksgiving morning. Amid chaos, Cornish hens rise, crows fall, and a jetpack-powered distraction just might save the day. But Waru isn’t just about escape—it’s about redefining destiny, building unity, and taking flight even when the world says you can’t. With humor, heart, and high-stakes action, Waru: The Turkey Who Disrupts Thanksgiving soars with an unforgettable message: freedom is worth fighting for.
