Your support helps us to tell the story

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.

This animated feature is fundamentally misconceived. Its heroes are turkeys who don't like the idea of being eaten and therefore travel back in time to persuade the American settlers they should eat pizza instead at Thanksgiving.

Some lively voice work from Owen Wilson and Woody Harrelson and colourful set pieces can't conceal the fact that the plotting simply doesn't stack up.
