    Recommended Highly.

    This animation was awesome to watch. The experience after seeing this I was so fresh and I got relief from on going mental stress as well.

    The comedy scenes and the cuteness of the character Gwen Mallard was just beyond my expectations. The character of Dax Mallard as the son of Mack Mallard was so daring and challenging and it was nice to see some shadow of his father Mack Mallard. Also the character of Uncle Dan gaves amusement more. Especially the character of Mack Mallard shows us the responsibility how we need to take in our full of problems of life. Pam Mallard's role wife of Mack Mallard's was also noticeable her support to her husband is great to see.

    Overall the animation attracts me cause it's childishness cuteness of those characters.

    I feel really glad to giving a feedback on this animation.

    Regards.

    Ashiq Mridha.

    "Migration": A Heartwarming Animated Adventure Packed with Laughter and Life Lessons

    I couldn't resist the chance to watch "Migration" ahead of its Boxing Day release date. From start to finish, my love for "Migration" only grew stronger. The film is an absolute delight - it's not just super cute and funny, but it's also packed with heartwarming moments that tug at your emotions. The characters bring such warmth and charm that you can't help but be drawn into their world.

    Beyond the humor and cuteness, "Migration" delivers a great message to stop waiting for life to happen to you. The animation is nothing short of fantastic, bringing the story to life with vibrant visuals and captivating sequences. "Migration" is a perfect blend of laughter, heart, and visual brilliance that makes it a must-watch for animation enthusiasts of all ages.

    Suprisingly decent

    I went with low expectations about this film because the trailers looked like the movie wasn't good, but after watching it i can say it's really worth the ticket.

    Visually there's nothing to complain about here the ducks and all kinds of birds that appear here look nice and are really expresive.

    Soundwise nothing outstanding, decent, you can hear every character clearly because all was mixed well. The ambient for all scenarios is done pretty well too (Swamps, cities, forrest)

    Storywise This is what i liked the most because it's not that dumb for an illumination movie, it has drama and funny moments throughout the entire run, but nothing too deep, just enough to be entertaining.

    I would say if you go alone or with your family you'll have a good time.

    Migration is a fun family animated picture with enough worthwhile elements to make it worth a watch, but it doesn't stand out in the genre

    I recently watched the movie Migration (2023) in theaters with my daughter. The storyline follows a northeastern family of ducks πŸ¦† who encounter a flock of migrating birds that invite them to fly south for the winter. Despite their usual winter stay, the family convinces the dad to fly to Jamaica πŸ‡―πŸ‡² this year, and an adventure ensues.

    This movie is co-directed by Benjamin Renner (Ernest & Celestine) and Guylo Homsy (Eddie's Life Coach) and features the voices of Kumail Nanjiani (Stuber), Danny DeVito (Twins), Awkwafina (Crazy Rich Asians), Keegan-Michael Key (Wonka), and Elizabeth Banks (The Hunger Games).

    The animation in this picture is outstanding, while the rest of the film is fairly average. The storyline is straightforward, with a few worthwhile subplots. I particularly enjoyed the husband and wife working together through various circumstances for the betterment of the family. The voices are well selected, and Awkwafina and DeVito comedic content keep the film well-paced. The conclusion is as expected, though its sequel potential remains uncertain.

    In conclusion, Migration is a fun family animated picture with enough worthwhile elements to make it worth a watch, but it doesn't stand out in the genre. I would score this a 5.5/10 and recommend seeing it once.

    • Trivia
      While the mallard family is following Chump through the city, they pass a bunch of balloons. One of the balloons is the unicorn from the Despicable Me movies.
    • Goofs
      When the elderly heron gets the pan and puts it in the water, there is clearly nothing in it. After the Mallards have gotten in, Mack pulls out a partly-eaten fish that was not there before.

      That is humor, as practiced by cartoons since time immemorial.
