Summary
Migration is a movie about a family of ducks. Mack Mallard, voiced by Kumail Nanjiani, is the dad of the family. He is an overprotective father and is extremely anxious. Mack gets convinced by his wife, voiced by Elizabeth Banks, to migrate. This is because she feels that they have been stuck in the same place for a long time. Her and her kids want to go to Jamaica, where they were told that the water glows and the land is tropical. He puts his anxiety aside for his family, so that they could go on this adventure. He puts on a big smile for them and heads towards Jamaica and throughout their expedition they face many troubles, but stay together, nonetheless.
Review
I thought the plot was basic and predictable, but still entertaining. It was animated beautifully, the landscape, facial expressions, and vibrant colors help the film become very amusing to watch. Even if it’s a movie directed towards children, it still has those hidden adult jokes, which added more humor to it. I would rate this movie 8/10, it’s a cute and you could watch it if you don’t have anything else to do. The dialog and music track were also something that made this movie unique. I loved the character development they did with the father duck because he was first filled with fear, and then became super adventurous at the end.
