I like the film Migration because it's the perfect adventure movie for kids with lovable characters, heartwarming messages, hilarious lines and exciting journeys. The wonderful animation makes it entertaining.
The story follows a Mallard family of ducks who live a routine life in their safe pond. However, when a group of migrating birds visits, the family wants to go along with them and they undertake a lengthy, exciting journey to Jamaica.
The main characters of the film are Mack (Kumail Nanjiani), Pam (Elizabeth Banks), Dax (Casper Jennings), Gwen (Tresi Gazal), Uncle Dan (Danny DeVito), Delroy (Keegan-Michael Key), and Chump (Awkwafina). The characters have unique personalities which makes the plot interesting, plus they all get along together. For example, Mack is an anxious person, but his wife, Pam, learns to calm him down and doesn't get annoyed. On the other hand, Chump is sarcastic. They're all birds, but their differences can easily be related to humans, as well! A huge part of the film's magnificence is the visual aspect. Jamaica is illustrated beautifully and looks like paradise. The angles in this film are wonderful at capturing a bird's point of view. When they're flying, the viewer gets to see the world like a bird. The animation of the clouds flying by thousands of miles up in the air is magical. The animation is perfect at depicting an adventure. My favorite part of the film is the character Gwen who is so adorable, loving, and hilarious. Her comments always make me laugh. I especially love when she begs Uncle Dan to travel with them to Jamaica - she says, "Please," and her eyes bulge out. Uncle Dan can't resist-she's too cute!
The film's message is to stop living life in fear. Mack learns this when his wife, Pam, tells him that there's more to life than staying isolated in their pond. She doesn't want to miss out on life. It reminds us to face our fears and enjoy adventures.
I give Migration 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 12. Migration is available in theaters now. By Sydney S., KIDS FIRST!
