Overall, this is smart, solid whole-family entertainment, modest in its ambitions yet far above the run of made-for-TV holiday yuck you will be offered in the weeks ahead. And it has puppets.

A modern-day fairy tale starring fantastical creatures who communicate in Mad magazine sound effects ("Burble," "Zorp," "Squonk," and "Thwring") ought to feel a little more unconventional than Turkey Hollow.

High art it's not, but unlike most overstuffed Lifetime movies, the whole family can watch together, and nobody winds up a chalk outline.

"I'm probably missing some great Internet snark right now," [Annie] whines. "#boring." Alas, the same hashtag can be applied to Turkey Hollow at times.

There's something here for everyone, from a curious new collection of Henson monsters to affecting themes about the struggles and triumphs of parenthood.

This thing was god awful! The acting was bad, the antagonists were cartoonishly bad. It made me cringe so much I wanted to shower afterward.

I have seen Turkey Hollow half a dozen times. I don't personally love it but my daughter does. There is nothing to object to. I loved Labyrinth and my husband loved dark crystal at this age so I guess this is Henson for a new generation. Also the magic has nothing to do with Santa Claus so it isn't limited to Christmas or Thanksgiving and there is no uncomfortable questions for parents. Actually I guess I do love it.
