First Line of Dialogue or Text

One crisp November morning, Grandma Duck called her farmhand, Gus Goose, into the kitchen and suggested, "Let's start getting Mr. Tom ready for Thanksgiving."

Genre

anthropomorphic-funny animals; humor

Characters

Chip; Dale; Gus Goose; Grandma Duck; Mr. Tom (turkey); Mickey Mouse; Minnie Mouse; Pluto

Synopsis

Chip and Dale save Mr. Tom the turkey from being Grandma Duck's Thanksgiving dinner.

Keywords

Thanksgiving; turkey

Indexer Notes

Oddly absent was the typical misunderstanding about "having a turkey for Thanksgiving dinner" that occurs in such stories. Though deliberately soft-pedaled, Mr. Tom was actually intended as the main course, if not for the intervention of Chip and Dale.
