The responses offered some interesting perspectives. Many pointed out that Thanksgiving isn’t widely celebrated outside of the United States. Edgar Wright, a British filmmaker, noted he doesn’t have a strong opinion on the holiday. Jorge Gutierrez, director of The Book of Life and Maya and the Three, shared that growing up on the U.S.-Mexico border, Thanksgiving didn’t really make sense to him, and isn’t universally observed, especially with the rise of streaming. Patrick McHale, creator of the autumn-themed cartoon Over the Garden Wall, also mentioned that in England, turkey is typically associated with Christmas.
