Story:
Illumination animated adventure comedy directed by Benjamin Renner and Guylo Homsy. Migration (2023) follows the Mallards, a family of ducks. While dad Mack (Kumail Nanjiani) is content to keep his family safe paddling around their New England pond forever, mom Pam (Elizabeth Banks) is eager to shake things up and show their kids, teen son Dax (Caspar Jennings), and duckling daughter Gwen (Tresi Gazal), the whole wide world. After a migrating duck family alights on their pond with thrilling tales of far-flung places, Pam persuades Mack to embark on a family trip, via New York City, to tropical Jamaica. As the Mallards make their way South, their well-laid plans quickly go awry.
We’ll add the best quotes once the movie is released and we’ve had a chance to watch it, but for now, here’s a small selection.

Pigeon Gang Leader: [after getting hit by a bus] I’m okay. Yes. No. I’m okay. We can do this. Ha. Ha. You missed bus!

Gwen: Okay. Okay.
