A decent attempt at a kids movie, I wasn't expecting much. If anything, I thought this movie was going to be bad, as most Illumination movies are. But it wasn't Uninspiring or dull, or even Boring like the majority of Illumination movies are. And if you think I'm being harsh, Pixar and Disney (Money Grabbers they might be) they still captivate audiences with perfect animation styles, soundtracks, stories and even characters and villains. Where Illumination as a studio pales in comparison. However, this isn't bad. As per say, I think theirs some stuff to be enjoyed here.
Gwen who's the young duckling is actually rather cute. And kids will enjoy the cuteness of her. As well, as the voice acting. Especially from Danny Devito who gives a great performance as the uncle. And most of the others, have great voice acting too. The Villain a psychotic maniac as a chef is a fun, if bland and a bit of a basic character, which is a bit of a rip-off to the one from Chicken Run. Regardless, he's still fine. And I love the variety of colours and locations that this film provides us with, and in an ubundance. Locations are so beautifully illustrated to us in this film that it's kind of hard not to praise it.
The downside of this film is how basic it is. The Father and the uncle don't want to Migrate elsewhere as they are happy ducklings, feeling safe. However, the other 3 ducklings want to leave and go on an adventure. And with a bit of persuasion they then come to terms with it. And there's a few obstacles along the way. Like the maniac chef. And they find their way to Jamaica. Which, is pretty much the whole movie wrapped up for you.
Regardless. The chef scenes are great, with a nice setting, and the film providing some tension between are group of Ducklings. The Balloon going down and enlarging is also a funny gag to raise the tension. Where they then have to try and save the guy from Jamaica, which the maniac chef trapped him. And they then find some other ducklings, this tension is raised by the chef visiting the place where the Ducklings view as Heaven, quite literally. So that's some interesting stuff.
And the Tiktok Vid going viral, "Do you feel better", "No", "Then it hasn't kicked in yet" which is said by the brother and sister. And this movie does illustrate to the audience the importance of family. Especially the plane sequence where they are captured by the chef. And they have to think of a clever way of getting out, the mother and the father of the ducklings. So theis some stakes here.
Would I recommend this film?
For people who are 3-6 Might enjoy it, 7-10 Might get slightly bored, the rest of you should just avoid it, 5 Out of 10.
