Migration Review: Illumination’s Finest Since Despicable Me

In ‘Migration,’ Illumination’s latest CGI adventure, a close-knit family of mallards breaks away from their sheltered pond life to embark on a hilarious journey to Jamaica. Directed by Benjamin Renner, the film showcases stunning animation and humor as the mallards face unexpected obstacles, including a determined chef with culinary plans for them.

The narrative introduces Mack Mallard (Kumail Nanjiani), a protective father, and his ducklings, Dax (Caspar Jennings) and Gwen (Tresi Gazal). Prompted by a desire to explore beyond the pond, the family decides to follow a migrating flock to Jamaica. However, their journey is far from smooth, with challenges and a menacing chef threatening their quest. Mack’s initial reluctance shifts after advice from his uncle, leading to a comedic and adventurous expedition.

‘Migration’ stands out for its witty character dynamics, thanks to the brilliant script by Mike White. The Mallard family members are instantly recognizable, with Gwen stealing the show as the charmingly pestering little sister. The script skillfully explores the relationship between Mack and Pam (Elizabeth Banks), presenting them as equal partners with complementary strengths.

Director Benjamin Renner delivers a visually stunning experience, surpassing expectations with breathtaking scenes of the mallards flying through various environments. The cinematography, reminiscent of the documentary ‘Winged Migration,’ offers a unique perspective, especially during the New York City segment, showcasing intricate details of Manhattan.

The film incorporates a villain, a Gordon Ramsay-esque chef, adding tension to the plot. The rescue of Delroy (Keegan-Michael Key), a Jamaican parrot, further intensifies the conflict with the chef. ‘Migration’ tackles serious themes, echoing White’s stance on animal rights, making kids aware of the potential fate of endearing characters in the food industry.

‘Migration’ is a delightful and humorous animated feature, marking one of Illumination’s best films. Scheduled for theatrical release on December 22nd by Universal Pictures, it promises to captivate audiences with its engaging storyline, exceptional animation, and a blend of comedy and adventure.
