This movie is a fun family watch that will captivate all until the end.
Get ready to stay glued to your seats for one and a half hours as the Mallards, a duck family of four, migrate to a new home. You are welcome to join them on the most wonderful adventure ever.
What’s the movie about?
Bored of their simple pond life in New England, the Mallard ducklings convince their overprotective father to go on a family vacation and migrate to Jamaica. It’s the adventure of a lifetime as they open themselves up to new experiences and new friends and get lost in the sprawling city of New York on the way!
What’s Awesome
The movie has breathtaking scenic beauty, amazing animation, funny and witty scenes,
making it a complete family watch. The scene where the Mallards struggle on the busy roads of New York is hilarious. It’s a total turn from their idyllic pond life. Delroy, the Jamaican parrot, being chased by a restaurant chef is another humor-packed sequence. The movie's fast pace keeps us engaged thoroughly, as we are curious to know what will happen next.
What’s Not
Too much happens in the movie scene after scene, making it a bit repetitive and cliché. It's a good one-time watch - a fun joyride for both kids and parents - but I guess not a memorable one.
In Conclusion
This movie emphasises how important it is for everyone to leave their comfort zone to learn new life lessons. Mack’s perception of life changes—he becomes courageous, finding joy in travelling and gaining new experiences. The Mallards’ migration journey inspires us viewers.
We give this fun and light-hearted animated movie a total of 4 hoots out of 5.
