Migration (I) (2023)
7/10
Duck Tale
28 February 2024
Haven't seen that coming, actually. What a surprising and fun movie, that is made out of all the good stuff that children's films should be made of. It's a stuffed story, with multiple story lines, that in its most parts contain the anxiety of parents and the will to let the children fly out of the nest.

It's a duck tale and it's about all those generic themes you can think about. A little bit of "Ice Age 3" and a sprinkle from other kids' movies and there you got it.

The pond is getting a shirt visit from migrating ducks and those who have never left their steady home get curious and wondering what else is there in life except the good old pond.

The neurotic father duck cannot think about him and his family living the dangers of wild life and they get into the big city and get their fair share of adventures. Its a wonderfully written, directed and performed animated movie for both kids and grown-ups.

It speaks about our natural anxieties as parents and about the will to explore and go in the path each individual carves for himself. No big news or subversive subtext, just fun time with the kids and thus medium we like to have fun with then occasionally.

The cast members are also fun with Supporting roles like Keagen-Michael key, Awkwafina and Danny DeVito. Kumail Nunjiani and Elizabeth Banks are terrific in the main roles and truly a lot of fun and a great and surprising movie for all the family.
