The 3-D animated comedy tells the story of two turkeys from opposite sides of the tracks who must put aside their differences and team up to travel back in time in order to change the course of history. Their goal, of course, is to get turkey off of the holiday menu �C for good.

He Jiong dubbed the voice of Reggie, who is secretly in love with Xie Na's character Jenny. Xie joked that, in real life, this was not the case. She also spoke about the way she came to love her role. "When I first heard I was supposed to dub the voice of a turkey, I resisted the role. But after I saw parts of the film, I found my character to be really cute. She is a unique turkey. She insists on wearing a necklace even though turkey necks aren't good for necklaces."

The film will hit Chinese screens Friday, March 7th.
