Jerky Turkey

6.5/1019457mDirected by Tex Avery

Jerky Turkey is a 1945 MGM cartoon directed by Tex Avery. A Pilgrim sets out to hunt a turkey for Thanksgiving dinner, but the turkey proves to be more than a match for him in a series of wild gags and sight gags. The short is a classic example of Avery's screwball style, with rapid-fire pacing and absurd visual humor. The film is in the public domain.
