1. Little Women is a 2019 American coming-of-age period drama film written and directed by Greta Gerwig. It is the seventh film adaptation of the 1868 novel of the same name by Louisa May Alcott. In the years after the Civil War, Jo March lives in New York and makes her living as a writer, while her sister Amy studies painting in Paris. Amy has a chance encounter with Theodore, a childhood crush who proposed to Jo but was ultimately rejected. Their oldest sibling, Meg, is married to a schoolteacher, while their shy sister Beth develops a devastating illness that brings the family back together. Not exactly your Thanksgiving movie, though so much of it takes place around the holidays and in the run-up to Christmas, and there are plenty of around-the-table scenes to give you that cozy feel — and make you feel thankful for your family. 2019|2h 15m|PG. Can be seen on STARZ, DIRECTV, The Roku Channel, ROW8, Prime Video, Vudu or Apple TV on your Roku device.

2. A Winnie the Pooh Thanksgiving (released on the DVD collection Winnie the Pooh: Season of Giving) is one of those few entries because it has two clear advantages over most of the “cartoon characters having Thanksgiving” stories. First, the animation quality is pretty good. Second, the plot about Pooh and his pals trying to put on a Thanksgiving dinner and their mistakes along the way fits the characters perfectly. The story involves Pooh, Piglet, and their friends planning a Thanksgiving dinner, but Rabbit insists they have to do it properly. While he figures out decorations, the others follow his instructions to find cranberries, a pumpkin, and a turkey. Not surprisingly, things do not go as planned. Ultimately though, Rabbit and the rest learn about what really matters at Thanksgiving: giving thanks.  1999|1h 10m|G. Can purchase the DVD on Amazon, and rent it on Vudu for $3.99.

Tim and Annie find themselves caught up in searching for the “Howling Hoodoo,” an elusive 10 ft. monster that has been considered a legend to the citizens of Turkey Hollow while also coming across the plot of the scheming neighbor Eldridge Slump (Linden Banks) and his farmworker minions Buzz (Gabe Khouth) and Junior (Peter New) that involves illegal turkeys activities and a plot for Eldridge to claim Aunt Cly’s farm. With the aid of some new creature friends named Squonk, Zorp, Burble, and Thring, the Emmersons must expose Slump’s plot and save the day. 2015|1h 28m|TV-PG.
