00:00Looking for a movie to watch on the couch with the fam after Thanksgiving dinner?
00:03We've got you covered.
00:05Here are five Thanksgiving films and where to stream them.
00:09Up first is the animated classic A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving.
00:13The television special that sees Charlie Brown, Linus, Snoopy, and Woodstock
00:17prepare a Thanksgiving feast of toast, popcorn, pretzels, and jelly beans,
00:21first aired on CBS in 1973.
00:24I always get into these things.
00:27Now she's bringing Marcy, too.
00:29It's your own fault because you're so wishy-washy.
00:33You can now stream it on Apple TV+.
00:35Next is Addams Family Values.
00:38The 1993 sequel to the 1991 film The Addams Family addresses the origins of the holiday
00:44when Wednesday leads a revolt during her camp's Thanksgiving play.
00:47You have taken the land which is rightfully ours.
00:53Years from now, my people will be forced to live in mobile homes on reservations.
00:57You can stream Addams Family Values on Paramount+.
01:01Over the years, some have called the 2009 stop-motion film Fantastic Mr. Fox a perfect
01:06or must-watch Thanksgiving movie.
01:09And while it doesn't directly reference the holiday, it does feature an epic feast and
01:14an ultimately thankful fox, voiced by George Clooney.
01:17We'll eat tonight, and we'll eat together, and even in this not particularly flattering light,
01:22you are without a doubt the five and a half most wonderful wild animals I've ever met.
01:30You can stream Fantastic Mr. Fox on Disney+.
01:33If you love a scary movie, the 2023 darkly funny slasher film Thanksgiving from director Eli Roth
01:39stars Patrick Dempsey as a local sheriff in Plymouth, Massachusetts, the birthplace of the holiday,
01:45where a mysterious serial killer is suddenly on the loose.
01:47The assailant's killing spree comes one year after a Black Friday riot ended in tragedy.
01:52Show some enthusiasm.
01:54Thanksgiving is an institution here.
02:02You can stream Thanksgiving on Netflix.
02:05And finally, if you're looking for a film that tackles Thanksgiving and Christmas,
02:09and pretty much every other holiday, check out Holiday.
02:12The 2020 rom-com stars Emma Roberts and Luke Bracey as two 30-somethings who team up to be
02:18each other's platonic holiday dates, so they no longer have to attend family functions single.
02:23Why is everyone so suspicious of a happy single woman?
02:26You look really sad.
02:28Human beings aren't meant to be alone on the holidays.
02:30Nobody puts baby in a corner.
02:33Back when the movie was released, Roberts shared what drew her to the project.
02:36It's funny, it's feel-good, it's a bit unexpected.
02:40Like, for me, when I read this script, I was really blown away by how, like,
02:46nostalgic and yet original a lot of the stuff was in it.
02:49You can stream Holiday on Netflix.
