This month, there has been a noticeable trend of animated feature films with a focus on birds. "The Boy and the Heron," directed by Hayao Miyazaki, stands out as a remarkable conclusion to his illustrious filmmaking career. It is a must-watch for fans of his work. Additionally, "Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget," the sequel to the beloved Aardman film from 2000, has its moments of amusement but falls short when compared to its nearly flawless predecessor.
It's unfortunate that "Migration" lacks any real appeal for viewers older than 8 years old. In fact, it's so uninteresting that it almost makes "Dawn of the Nugget" seem like Miyazaki's latest masterpiece in comparison. Just to give you an idea of how uninteresting it is, I'm going to refrain from making any bird-related comments that other reviews might include. Even though those critiques may be cliché, they still show more cleverness and originality than anything in this film. You can check more blogs.

The Mallards, a family of ducks, are the main focus of the film. The family consists of Mack, the overly cautious dad, adventurous mom Pam, teen son Dax, adorable duckling daughter Gwen, and grumpy Uncle Dan. They have always stayed within the boundaries of their New England pond because Mack is afraid of what could happen to them in the outside world. However, when another family of ducks, including one that Dax immediately develops a crush on, lands in their pond during their annual migratory journey to Jamaica, the rest of the family convinces the initially hesitant Mack to break free from their monotonous routine and embark on a trip to the Caribbean.
Presumably due to their lack of practice, the Mallards inevitably go in the wrong direction and quickly become lost in the heart of New York City. There, they come across a group of pigeons led by the grumpy Chump. Coincidentally, Chump knows a parrot from Jamaica named Delroy who can assist them in finding their way down South. However, Delroy is currently confined in a trendy restaurant in Manhattan, serving as the pet of the owner and head chef. The Mallards successfully release Delroy and embark on their journey to Jamaica. Along the way, they encounter the expected amount of comical mishaps and minor conflicts, all while being relentlessly pursued by the malicious chef, who fancies himself as the next Martin Yan and even owns a private helicopter to aid in his chase.
And that's about it—a story so slim that it feels more like a TV special, the type produced by a popular franchise to maintain audience interest in between the actual movies. That in itself isn't surprising, but what's unexpected is that a film as completely harmless as this was written by Mike White—yes, the same person responsible for "School of Rock," "Year of the Dog," and "The White Lotus." It's even more astonishing to see Benjamin Renner as co-director; his previous films have included such clever, delightful, and visually stunning animated features as "Ernest & Celestine" and "The Big Bad Fox and Other Tales."
