Thanksgiving / Turkey Day has finally arrived, and with it comes a handful of Oscar contenders at the cinema – Silver Linings Playbook, Life of Pi, Rust and Bone, Hitchcock, and more. But for those not heading out to the cinema today, Larry David has joined forces with the great Funny or Die to bring us a brilliant animated short in honour of the holiday.
David is of course well known for his leading role in HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm, for the kind of comedy that only Larry David can pull off. The man’s name is synonymous with comic genius.
And whilst we eagerly await an official announcement regarding a hoped-for ninth season of Curb, and more news on Greg Mottola’s and HBO’s Clear History, co-written by David and starring the man himself alongside the likes of Jon Hamm, Danny McBride, Bill Hader, Kate Hudson, Amy Ryan, and plenty more, this short, Larry David’s Thanksgiving Special, is a brilliant way to make that wait a little easier.
Written and voiced by David, the short is directed and animated by Sascha Ciezata (When Lynch Met Lucas, Sarah Silverman’s Thanksgiving Special). Enjoy. And Happy Thanksgiving.
