Last movie review of 2023, Migration!

Okay I think this might be one of the best animated movies of 2023! "Ruby Gillman Teenage Kraken" and "Under the Boardwalk" were the two best, and "Migration" and is the third best. These movies were so incredible and well done. I fell in love with the visuals and scenery, and the animation for Migration overall. The characters were definitely a 10/10 though! I mostly loved how Gwen was more than just the cute sidekick, but she was the cute sidekick who was also sassy and a little bit daring too. Her brother (i think his name was Dax?) was an optimistic and daring character too! He was fearless and also a good character too. I really loved how they focused on Pam and Mac as well, and made them good parents but also showed their struggles on protecting the family. Pam was so optimistic, she kind of reminded me Ginger from Chicken Run. She was such an icon! My favorites had to be Pam and Gwen! I also loved Delroy and Uncle Dan! They were so funny! Awkwafina also played a unique character too (she voiced a tough greaser pigeon).

I also would like to talk about the villain's design and personality. He didn't speak, they just had an evil chef who just growled and tried to get the ducks. They didn't show much human interactions in the movie but the only bad human was the chef character. He looked like the a super rich chef guy, with gold on him and stuff (He had white hair with gold bands). I liked his funny face too! Also, the other humans didn't seem to be that bad either, it was one person who wanted to eat the ducks. They weren't portraying all the humans as animal-eating monsters.

Another thing is that the art style and everything looked a little different from Illumination's usual movies, seeing really big eyed cartoony birds that were the main focus. Dreamworks, Illumination, and Aardman are dethroning Disney and I'm all here for it! I hope Ghibli does too when the "Boy and the Heron" dub comes out. I'm just happy that Illumination is going to be known for something other than annoying minions. Also, before you say anything, the short film that was before Migration WAS a Despicable Me one but it focused more on that Vector guy and him getting off the moon, as well as showing the minions as comic relief which was fine (tbh Vector himself is funnier). Seeing that animated short made me think of when Disney used to do stuff like that, and I'm happy that Illumination did that. I mostly just enjoyed Migration and I think it was beautiful!

Last of all, the thing I loved most was probably that salsa dance scene when they played that Beyonce song that goes like, "I'm a survivor" but it was a jazzy version of it and it just blended with the movie so well! Whoever chose that song deserves a raise! Also, that was such a cute scene between Mac and Pam. I love how they showed that adults have flaws once in a while, and focus on the adult ducks as much as the kids. This movie was so so cute!

Into 2024, I'm hoping that I would get to see the movie "Butterfly Tale", which according to my best friend who's in Canada and got to see it (I'm an unfortunate American who missed out). If you have any info about Butterfly Tale, please tell me! The best movies this year I'd say are Butterfly Tale, Ruby Gillman, Migration, and Under the Boardwalk. Tell me YOUR favorite animated movies of 2023! Go on! Don't be afraid to express your opinion in my comments, even if it's different from mine!

Migration + Mooned Review

Before I start this review, I'll just have you know that the director who made this also made a movie called Ernest and Celestine. Pretty obscure film, but it was one of the very few films I actually gave a 9 out of 10. Now, granted, I was young back when I first watched it and I could think differently now, but I'm just saying.

Which is why it's pretty amazing how Migration is actually quite the step down from Ernest and Celestine. It's still a decent movie, but it isn't anything to write home about.

Story

If you thought the Mario movie was simplistic, I'd say the Mario movie had a bit more going on than this one. On one hand, it's a basic adventure film and on the other hand, things happen that don't make sense. Like how the plot of the film gets started by Mack turning a 180 and deciding to migrate. The mallards get caught by these giant birds that they think want to eat them, but actually don't. During action moments, the birds would be screaming but nobody is alerted. And then the film loses its footing toward the end when they introduce a villain who wants to cook the birds. Nothing really special to say about the story. It's that weak.

Characters

The characters have their charmingly quirky moments, but like the story, they don't really feel meaningful. Mack is your average overprotective parent for some unexplained reason, the mother (forgot her name) is just a mother. Characters like the pigeon, parrot, and the uncle didn't really do much and probably shouldn't have been there in the first place. I do think the thin story hurts the characters somewhat. I do like Gwen, Dax, and the uncle personality-wise but I wish they were in a better story.

Overall

Clearly a movie made for children and I'm sure slice-of-life fans would like it, but it's no Despicable Me (another simple film by Illumination that would appeal to both adults and kids). Nothing much special, that's why this review is so short. It's cute, but it's not going to stick in my head after a while. I think it would've done better as a short or it could've used some more drafting in order to structure the story better.

I give Migration 6.1 bells out of 10.

Mooned

I always wanted to know what happened to Vector on the Moon, but idk, man. Like Migration, it just seemed like it was made to entertain the kids. Vector is not as cool as he once was in the film, and jog my memory, but I don't remember his suits having abilities besides flying? (And I just recently rewatched the first film). It's good for a laugh, but that's about it. Maybe it didn't really need to be made.

4.1 bells out of 10.

Both films have .1. Ain't that interesting?

NOTE: I DO NOT TAKE REQUESTS

Saw "Migration" a few weeks ago and thought it was a cute movie. The message behind the movie is near the top of my favorite of all times and the characters are enjoyable. I strangely see some of myself in Dax.

Anyways, here's Pam teaching Gwen how to fly. She still needs to get a hold of flying and Dax is just there silently judging.

Also spent way too much time on the reflection on the water.

Migration

I first saw a trailer for Migration in the theater where I watched Barbie. From what I understood about the plot, (and perhaps also because it was made by Illumination), I was somewhat interested in seeing the movie. Admittedly, I forgot about the movie, until I saw fan art of it earlier this year. It was then that I realized the movie had already come out last year.

Now that I saw it over five months after its US release, it was a fun, cute movie. Mack, the father mallard, was so fearful and overprotective that he reminded me of Marlin from Finding Nemo. Considering that he told his ducklings a scary story intended as a cautionary tale, I'm starting to wonder whether that story reflected a trauma he experienced in the past. I could kind of understand why Mack would be afraid of the outside world, but I could also sympathize with his mate, Pam, who wanted adventure. I may be an introverted homebody, but even I need to be able to get out of the house to have fun sometimes, especially since I'm now completely dependent on my family for transportation. The sibling rivalry between the ducklings, Dax and Gwen, was amusing to watch. I found it interesting that Mack changed his mind about traveling, only after the weird Uncle Dan told him that he (Mack) could end up alone like him (Dan). As glum as Dan seemed to be, I liked how he seemed to have a soft spot for Gwen.

The mallard family certainly ran into trouble during their journey, but I was pleased to see that they made friends. The herons did look like they might kill the mallards, so I was relieved when the female one, Erin, saved them from a fish. The leader of the pigeon gang, Chump, was quite intimidating for such a tiny bird, but helped lead the mallards to Delroy, a scarlet macaw who knew how to get to the family's intended destination, Jamaica. The white ducks from the duck farm were also quite friendly. They could've convinced the mallards to stay at their farm forever, but thankfully, that didn't happen.

That chef, though, was crazy! It's one thing to be particular about how a dish should turn out, but taking the dish and smashing it against the wall was uncalled for. He seemed like an incredibly tough boss to work for, and considering that he bought the white ducks from the duck farm, I'm guessing he really, really likes cooking ducks. Though it's common for pet birds to be housed in cages, Delroy clearly didn't like being in his cage. I wouldn't be surprised if that chef mostly neglected him. I was happy for Delroy when he was finally freed from captivity. Of course, that wasn't the last we saw of the chef, since he managed to find and capture the birds, except Dax and Gwen, in that motel.

Initially, I was confused as to why Dax was unable to fly by the time the birds reached the motel, but now, I recalled that as the birds were escaping from the chef at the duck farm, he lost some feathers. Thankfully, though, the feathers left behind at the motel enabled him to fly again. How awesome it was when the birds managed to escape from the chef and finally reached Jamaica! Everyone was enjoying themselves there, and Delroy reunited with his family. It was also nice to see the duck family who visited the mallard family's pond again. Now that Mack has gained a love of adventure, I hope he doesn't take it too far!

Movie Review: Illumination's latest film Migration

Two months ago, after New Year's Day, I watched Illumination's 14th feature film at TGV Cinemas in Sunway Pyramid. Before watching the movie, I saw on their Instagram post it was going to premiere along with a short film called "Mooned" which featured the return of Vector the supervillain from the first movie.

This movie is about the Mallard family with their two children, Dax and Gwen along with their uncle, Dan who wants to migrate from New England to Jamaica to join Kim and her family for the summer. However, things did not go as planned as the whole family couldn't find their way out of New York City.

When they meet Chump the aggressive bird of the flock in Central Park, she tells the family that Delroy the Scarlet Macaw is captured in a cage by the evil Chef at his famous Manhattan restaurant who plans to make a French dish called Duck A' Lorange.

As they got to the office where Delroy was in the cage, the two, had a plan to get the key before cooking the two of them to make his specialty dish.

They then freed Delroy and started back their migration to Jamaica. When they find a resting spot for the night, the chef captures all of the birds in his helicopter and flies away leaving Dax and Gwen heartbroken.

When all the birds were captured in a big cage along with Delroy, Pam, and Mack, they were worried that they might be taken back to the restaurant to be cooked as a French dish. However, they thought of a plan to escape the evil chef's helicopter by working together as a team and they were reunited with Dax and Gwen as the two were saving them from falling to the ground.

When they arrived in Jamaica, all of the birds were happy to have their own dream holiday, especially Kim the duck who was reunited with Dax and lived a happy life.

In the end, as the spring season began, it was time for all of the birds to go back home to New England. But the penguins were stranded on the beach, and they needed to get back home to the South Pole.

After seeing the movie, I learned from the Mallard parents to always be optimistic even if you fail the first time. Then there's a second chance that you may succeed in life in anything.

The scene I loved in this movie was when the group of birds including the Mallards enjoyed their very own waterpark from the farm.

Overall, this Illumination movie was perfect, and it was a great experience to learn about going to new places across the globe with your family and friends.

I hope that there will be another sequel to Migration where the Mallards meet the penguins at the South Pole.
