Last December, my family and I had the pleasure of watching an early screening of Migration an animated movie made by Illumination, the creators behind the Despicable Me, Minions and The Secret Life of Pets films.
From the creators of “Despicable Me” comes an adventure-filled new comedy about overcoming your fears and opening yourself up to the world and its opportunities, filled with Illumination’s signature subversive humor, authentic heart and unforgettable characters. The Mallard family embarks on a journey south for the winter to Jamaica via New York City, only for their well-laid plans to go awry, leading to new friends and unknown horizons. Get ready to take a flight on a hilariously funny, feathered family vacation like no other!
The animated film stars the voice talents of Kumail Nanjiani (Eternals), Elizabeth Banks (The Hunger Games), Awkwafina (Quiz Lady), Keegan-Michael Key (Wonka), Carol Kane (The Princess Bride) and Danny DeVito (Matilda).
If you haven’t seen the movie yet, I highly recommend buying it so that you can watch it with your family. For readers with little kids, you’ll be happy to know that I have a FREE Migration-themed activity kit that you can download and print for your kids. It’s chock-full of games (tic-duck-toe), activities (word search), and more! Click here to download it now.
The film is available on Digital, 4K Ultra, Blu-ray and DVD today, Tuesday, February 27th!
