¡Patos!

I'll admit it, even though I am in my early 30s, I still enjoy watching animated movies, and animated shows. Sometimes I think there are certain things with animated films that can't be done with live-action movies, or maybe I'm wrong on that. Anway, Ok, Migration, the duck movie, or is it mallards the preferred word? No idea, not exactly an expert on ducks here, , anyway, I just saw it at my local movie theater, went to a 11:55 am showing, and I'll say this, I felt actually surprised. Does this movie do anything groundbreaking or anything that changes the landscape of animated movies going forward? No. However, I genuinely enjoyed it. Ok, maybe the plot is kind of simple, a few members of a duck family, including the mother duck wants to migrate, to explore the world, to see more outside their pond and see what more whats beyond her pond. The Dad duck, Mack voiced by Kumail Nanjiani , he has so many good lines in this movie. Mack is not really willing or wanting to explore anything behind his pond, his known "comfort zone." The mom duck , Pam, and their kids, Dax, and. Gwen help Mack understand reason they have to. And what happens next is a journey of encounters with friendly or not friendly other animals along the way, madcap adventures, getting lost a few times, along the way, an accidental visit to New York City and a wise-cracking pigeon leader, and so much more, which I promise I will not spoil for anybody who does decide to go see this in the movie theater. I personally had a good time watching it, made me smile, made me laugh, the animation is very good, I like the characters. Danny DeVito voices Uncle Dan, he is such a very funny, caring older Uncle and he usually says whatever comes to mind, he has some good lines too. Elizabeth Banks as Pam, mother duck , is a character who longs to explore a world outside her pond, and wants to have more experiences than just being stuck in one place, I liked her character quite a bit. Dax is a pretty awesome character, he is the younger duck, who keeps wanting to help his Dad and keeps wanting to explore try new things no matter the risk , but keeps getting told, not help, to mostly stay out of the way, until something he does at the end, not going to say anymore on that. And Gwen , is the sister, to Dax, oh my goodness, Gwen is super charming, a huge highlight of the movie I think. Gwen has this moment later in the movie, where she goes to her brother, Dax, and gives him a hug, and keeps hugging him, to comfort her brother, after Dax walks away from his family after something happens. It felt like something an actual sister would do to help comfort her brother, I think. Overall really enjoyed it, wasn't really excepting much going in to see it, felt genuinely surprised, very heartfelt and just a fun good movie. Two thumbs up. Or two webbed feet up?

I think I should rank the animated movies I have seen this year,

1: Boy and the Heron 2: Across the Spider-Verse 3: Migration 4: Teenage Turtle Mutant Turtles Mayhem 5: Super Mario.

Migration is just a simple adventure, but still an enjoyable film on its own. It does have a predictable story and an unneeded villain for a movie about migrating. But it still provides things to be a decent film thanks to great animation, some cute jokes that I at least chuckled, and as someone that loves to travel, it does have the heart of venturing the world. I think it would be worth watching at least once. But I do think that the kids will love it for the funny characters and a tale that they will easily get into more than adults would. Like The Super Mario Bros Movie and the other films Illumination has made, it's not the best movie of the year. I do think this movie is pretty simple, but pretty cute for a migrate adventure.

Overall, not a half bad illumination movie.

The movie's environments were beautiful. Easily my favorite part of the movie. I loved the watercolor-esque trees. Also, the designs of some of the humans, especially the main antagonist, are pretty nice and creative. The jokes weren't nearly as "cringey", and landed for the most part. (hah, get it, cause the movies about ducks... migrating). The humor in this movie feels more family-focused, rather than purely for the kids.

As for the negatives, the story is fairly linear, and not too interesting. The overall theme is very obvious, so it isn't too deep. All in all, a typical illumination movie.

Overall, a decent Illumination movie. Just plain family fun. If you want to be fairly entertained, and laugh with your kiddos, this is a good movie.

"Migration" is a visual feast, captivating audiences with its stunning animation and vibrant color palette. Set against the backdrop of a migratory journey, the film seamlessly blends artistry with storytelling, immersing viewers in a world teeming with life and wonder. From the intricate details of each character to the sweeping landscapes they traverse, every frame is a testament to the dedication of the animation team.

But it's not just the visuals that shine in "Migration." The narrative unfolds with heart and depth, exploring themes of resilience, friendship, and the enduring spirit of adventure. As the characters embark on their journey, facing challenges and forging bonds along the way, audiences are drawn into a compelling tale that resonates on multiple levels.

One of the film's greatest strengths lies in its ability to appeal to audiences of all ages. While younger viewers will be enchanted by the colorful characters and lively antics, older viewers will appreciate the film's nuanced storytelling and rich thematic elements.

Overall, "Migration" is a triumph of animation, delivering a visually stunning and emotionally resonant experience that will linger in the hearts and minds of audiences long after the credits roll. It's a testament to the power of storytelling and the limitless possibilities of the animated medium.

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.
