Migration
Mack (Kumail Nanjiani) has carved out the perfect home for his family in a serene New England pond. There is plenty of food and shelter plus no predators. The only thing missing is excitement. After meeting a family of migrating birds that make a pitstop at their lake, his wife Pam (Elizabeth Banks), son Dax (Caspar Jennings), and daughter Gwen (Tresi Gazal) are eager to migrate to Jamaica themselves, for the first time ever. Mack is wholly against it but after talking to his Uncle Dan (Danny DeVito), Mack decides it’s time to have an adventure and see more of the world. Along the way they help out a caged Parrot named Delroy (Keegan-Michael Key), fight an evil chef, and most importantly strengthen their family bonds.
Directed by Benjamin Renner and Guylo Homsy, Migration tells the universal story of parents learning to let their children take risks and spread their wings, even if that means leaving the safety of the pond. But it’s also about how parents need to remember to live a little themselves, and allow their inner child to come out once in a while. The simple but sincere script from Mike White and Renner doesn’t patronize its audience as it checks off all the genre tropes– relationships, confronting fears, finding happiness, and sibling rivalry. Rather it delivers colorful animation with a genuine heart that is ideal for families looking for something to watch this holiday season.
