Review of Migration

This has to be one of the better kids animations of the year or even a few years. It isn't pretentious and doesn't bang on the drum of morality. Rather its pure fun and hijinks.

It starts off with the dad trying to scare the kids out of ever wanting to leave the pond, but in a very fun and funny opening. All is good for over protective dad until some exotic ducks land for a stop on their migratory flight south and fill the kids and mum with ideas about migrating to Jamaca. Dad tries to stop but is convinced to overcome his fears and take a chance.

And that is the only moral part of the story, take a chance in life and face your fears and prejudices.

From there on it's one rollercoaster of aride with lots of fun bits.

Also, unlike a lot of animations, you aren't playing the game of oh that is such and such voice. The only really recognisable voice is Danny Divitto, who is perfectly cast as grumpy uncle Dan. The kids are relative unknowns but are perfect in timing and emotion.

The animation is colourful but doesn't overwhelm the film either like some animation do.

It also isn't overly long which is great and kids will love it and parents get lots of laughs.

Yes it's not ground breaking but that's not the point.

A perfect family fare, perfect for Christmas/ holidays.
