Relativity Media has released the first images from director Jimmy Hayward’s (Horton Hears a Who!) upcoming animated film Free Birds (previously titled Turkeys).  The film centers on two turkeys who travel back in time in order to try to undo the tradition of eating turkey on Thanksgiving.  The voice cast is led by Woody Harrelson and Owen Wilson, with Amy Poehler, Dan Fogler, Lesley Nicol, George Takei, Colm Meaney, and Keith David filling out the ensemble.  Additionally, Relativity has announced that Eddie Sotelo (Ice Age: Continental Drift), Josh Lawson (The Campaign), and the very random Danny Carey (drummer for Tool) have also joined the voice cast.

Hit the jump to check out the images.  Free Birds opens in 3D on November 1st.

Here’s the official synopsis for Free Birds:

In this hilarious, adventurous buddy comedy for audiences of all ages, directed by Jimmy Hayward (Horton Hears a Who!), two turkeys from opposite sides of the tracks must put aside their differences and team up to travel back in time to change the course of history - and get turkey off the Thanksgiving menu for good.
