Featured reviews
'Migration' is a really well-made family film. It's a simple premise about anthropomorphic ducks - the father duck, Mack (Nanjiani), wants to protect his children/chicks, Dax (Jennings) and Gwen (Gazal), and the mother duck, Pam (Banks), wants them to experience the world and gain some experience. They meet some other ducks migrating south for the winter - they're presumably in North-Eastern USA - so they decide to do the same, with quirky uncle Dan (DeVito) in tow.
What follows is both a semi-familiar road-trip comedy, as well as a refreshing take on family, trying new things and helping others. There's a great support cast, as the duck family passes through New York City and meets Chump the pigeon (Awkwafina), Delroy the macaw (Key), as well as Erin the heron (Kane) and GooGoo (Mitchell) - either a goose or a white duck. There's a nice jail-break sequence for Delroy, which sets up the human antagonist, the Chef.
For some reason the Chef also has a Chinook and hunts them down, leading to Dax and Gwen having to step-up. The animation is a nice mix of cartoonish and realistic, and it looks excellent, especially at the end. There's no overly-scary moments, some teachable themes, the voice cast is all good and there's consistent laughs throughout. There's also 'Mooned', the 9-min 'Despicable Me' tie-in at the start of the film, which kids seemed to love.

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.

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.

- TriviaWhile 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.
- GoofsWhen 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.
- Crazy creditsWhen the movie starts, Minions Stuart and Bob play the Universal logo theme with a kazoo and ukulele.
