GOBBLEVILLE: An animated TV series by Terry John Barto

In the small town of Gobbleville, turkeys learn about law, science, history, and common decency in a quirky community with zany characters.

The award-winning Amazon #1 Bestseller Gollywood, Here I Come! blossomed from an animated TV series concept called Gobbleville.

Gobbleville is a small town in a world populated by turkeys. The series includes bizarre situations in Gobbleville and follows Anamazie to Gollywood on a magical ride through movie history.

The visual component is Googie-themed architecture that sets the stage for the citizens of Gobbleville to live and work. They attend barbecues, fairs, festivals, and parades in a homespun environment.

Juxtaposed is Gollywood, which is electric and promoted as the most glamorous place on earth. Gobbleville residents are skeptical of the birds in this big city due to their outlandish behavior. 

ANAMAZIE is an intelligent, attractive, multi-talented girl discovered on Gobbleville's Got Talent and became a movie star.

TOMMY JR., a student at Wattle View School, often finds himself at odds with Judge Jinny due to his rebellious nature. While he dreams of a career in Rock-n-Roll, his parents envision a future for him as a Gizzardologist. 

HENRIETTA PEARL is a helicopter mom. She stars in productions at the Korn-a-Plenty Community Theatre. 

TOM is the dad who serves as mayor of Gobbleville. He maintains order in the community, executing the task quite efficiently, swiftly moving from one event to the next. 

UNCLE BEN thinks he's Benjamin Franklin and dresses in full colonial garb. He starts every sentence with, "I remember when…" and segues to historical quotes. 

UNCLE BUMBLE is the only handyman in Gobbleville. His complicated and clumsy way of fixing things leads to precarious situations. 

GRANDMA MIMI is a cranky old lady and Vegan Enforcers S.W.A.T. team captain. She refers to youngsters as "whippersnappers." 

During a movie shoot, waiting between takes can be utterly dull. Filled with curiosity, ANAMAZIE and her actor friends sneak away to explore the studio lot. After passing sound stages, winding down Colonial Street, and traversing different sets, Anamazie sees a building behind an unkept, overgrown garden. They move through the shrubbery and stumble upon a secret warehouse filled with old movie props.

Each prop stored here was imbued with magical powers by wannabe Wizard/ Propmaker PERCY McNUTIA, a persnickety man obsessed with details. His effort to be authentic went awry, and these props were banned and hidden in this warehouse on the outskirts of the studio. 

Unbeknownst to Anamazie and her colleagues, the actors find themselves whisked away to another place and time in history as they act out a scene with the props.

Exhilarated that someone finally discovered this clandestine storeroom, CHECKMATE, the featured chess clock in Searching for Bobby Fischer, befriends Anamazie and the kids. He tags along as their companion to ensure their safe return.

Anamazie and co-star JAKE QUIGGLEMAP run along Nowhere Lane. They come from the rear of a facade to the front of a superficial hotel. Jake pushes the revolving door and enters. After a full round, he grabs Anamazie, and they twirl into an old lobby.

Completely baffled, they carefully walk through the dusty foyer. Jake starts to goof around and acts like a Bellhop. Anamazie jumps onto a luggage cart, which he rolls down a passageway. An elevator is at the end of the hall, and the doors mysteriously open. Anamazie gasps as Jake brings the cart to a halt. "I dare you," they say in unison. Jake delivers a grand gesture, "Ladies first," and follows Anamazie inside. The doors close. They both press buttons on the control panel. Nothing happens. Jake's nervous energy turns into a rap that happens to trigger a response; the elevator lurches and takes off like a rocket. 

ELLIE, the MAGIC ELEVATOR, takes them to fun places in the past, future, and various countries in the present. They take part in other communities and encounter kids of different cultural backgrounds.
