Migration is a 2023 American animated adventure comedy film produced by Universal Pictures and Illumination and distributed by Universal. The film was directed by Benjamin Renner, co-directed by Guylo Homsy, and produced by Chris Meledandri, from a screenplay written by Mike White and a story by White and Renner. It stars the voices of Kumail Nanjiani, Elizabeth Banks, Keegan-Michael Key, Awkwafina, and Danny DeVito. The story follows a family of mallards who try to convince their overprotective father to go on a vacation of a lifetime and attempt to migrate from New England, through New York City, to Jamaica.

Illumination announced Migration in February 2022, with Renner and White attached as director and writer, respectively. Renner, who had previously helmed traditionally animated films, including Ernest & Celestine (2012) and The Big Bad Fox and Other Tales... (2017), was tasked with adapting his simple drawing style for a computer-animated film. In hiring Renner, studio head and producer Meledandri sought to focus on a filmmaker's vision for the project in comparison with Illumination's recent films. John Powell composed the score, marking his second collaboration with Illumination following The Lorax (2012).

Migration premiered at the VIEW Conference in Turin, Italy, on October 19, 2023, and was theatrically released in the United States on December 22. The film received generally positive reviews from critics and grossed nearly $300 million worldwide.

Plot

In a pond somewhere in a New England forest, anxious Mack Mallard constantly discourages his kids Dax and Gwen from venturing into the outside world much to the displeasure of his wife Pam.

One day, the Mallards meet a flock of migrating ducks who are en route south to Jamaica which the family finds interesting, but Mack has no such interest. Pam tells Mack that he must open his eyes to the world outside him. That night, Mack talks with his aging Uncle Dan who also does not want to leave the pond. However, Uncle Dan makes Mack second-guess his stance and decides to let his family migrate, with Uncle Dan joining them at Gwen's behest.

During a rainstorm, they take up shelter in a swamp underneath a boardwalk where they encounter a crazed elderly heron named Erin, who brings them to her shack to spend the night with herself and her husband Harry. Despite their frightening disposition, the herons prove their good intentions by saving Dax and Gwen from a catfish.

The following day, the Mallards arrive in New York City where Uncle Dan wanders off and ends up getting the ducks in trouble with a flock of pigeons led by the gritty Chump. However, Pam's assertiveness puts them in Chump's good graces. Chump leads them to her friend Delroy, a macaw who is from Jamaica but lives caged by a human chef that owns him. Wanting to set Delroy free, Mack and Pam infiltrate the restaurant where the chef works to acquire a key to his cage. After evading the humans, they manage to get the key and free Delroy who gratefully guides them to Jamaica.

While Gwen stops for a bathroom break, Mack soon finds an entrance to a paradise full of pekins. The group begins to enjoy themselves but Dax soon finds out the whole place is a duck farm, with the chef from earlier being one of its clients. Dax helps the pekins and his family escape the farm, but he loses his wing feathers after being stepped on by the chef, rendering him flightless. The birds stop to rest at a resort where Mack chastises Dax for his recklessness, much to Dax's anger.

Soon, the chef finds the birds via helicopter and traps them in a net, while Dax and Gwen manage to hide. Inside, the chef plans to kill Mack and Pam first, prompting Pam to give into despair only for Mack to raise her spirits. They try to push a button to release the birds through a Salsa dance they learned at the restaurant, but are caught by the chef. At this point, Delroy has finally had enough and he, Uncle Dan and the pekins pelt the chef with fruits and vegetables. The chef is knocked unconscious by a squash, hitting a button that causes the helicopter to drop out Pam and Mack, still stuck in their cage. They are saved by their kids, with Dax having fixed his wings using some of the other birds' feathers. Both father and son silently reconcile.

Now led by Dax, the birds eventually arrive in Jamaica where Delroy reunites with his friends and the Mallards catch up with the duck family who visited their pond earlier. The following spring, the family is about to head for home when Mack shows them a group of penguins trying to get to the South Pole.

Production

Development and writing

Director Benjamin Renner in 2023

In February 2022, Illumination announced a new film titled Migration, with French animator and comic book creator Benjamin Renner set to direct and Mike White set to pen the script.[1] In April 2023, more film crew such as co-director Guylo Homsy, editor Christian Gazal, and production designer Colin Stimpson were revealed.[2] Renner previously directed the traditionally animated films Ernest & Celestine (2012) and The Big Bad Fox and Other Tales... (2017), and was already a household name among the staff of Illumination Studios Paris prior to his involvement with the company.[3][4] Illumination head and film producer Chris Meledandri hired Renner to direct the studio's first original project since 2016 for his filmmaking sensibility, stating that during his visit to the Annecy International Animation Film Festival that there is a "filmmaker attention" for Migration in comparison with Illumination's recent releases up to The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023).[3] Overall, the budget was $72 million at minimum.[5][6]

Renner described Migration as Little Miss Sunshine (2006), but with ducks.[4] The film's tone becomes more tense as the story progresses.[7] Renner drew influences from his childhood experiences and dynamics with his family when making humorous situations for the Mallard family. Gwen and the situations surrounding her character are inspired by his experiences as the youngest sibling in his family.[8] When shaping the film's humor, Renner wanted to avoid "lazy jokes," which he felt were common in family films.[8] He aimed for a sense of humor that could appeal to both children and adults.[4] For example, he made sure that any slapstick humor in the film was both thought through and had an extra dimension to it.[8] Additionally, a general rule he made for himself was for there to be no fart jokes.[4] The filmmakers sought to treat the humans in the film in the way they believed ducks perceived them. Renner said, "The humans are treated like animals in the movie, in that only the birds understand each other."[9]

White described the film as using a "comedic fantasy landscape" to explore its central themes. He said that the film has more depth than a standard children's film and a lot of Illumination's output, but still retains a zaniness that appeals to children.[4] Renner described the main theme in the film as "getting out of your comfort zone, facing life, and accepting that fear is part of life."[8]

Casting

In April 2023, Kumail Nanjiani, Elizabeth Banks, Keegan-Michael Key, Awkwafina, Danny DeVito, Caspar Jennings, Tresi Gazal (in her film debut), David Mitchell, and Carol Kane were announced to be part of the film's lead voice cast.[2] Renner made sure that the cast members connected with their respective characters. For example, Nanjiani's love for routine and his stand-up comedy sketches of him complaining about things made him connect with Mack, while Banks is open to trying new things and new experiences, making her connect with Pam.[10] Tresi is the daughter of the film's editor, Christian Gazal, and was brought in to provide scratch vocals for Gwen. She would end up voicing the character in the finished film.[11]

Animation and design

The film's animation was handled by Illumination Studios Paris.[9] Renner was tasked with adapting his minimalist drawing style from previous films for a computer-animated film, which requires more extensive detail;[7] he had previously designed the visuals for the French-Belgian computer-animated film about migrating birds titled Yellowbird (2014), which was noted for not strictly adhering to photorealism.[12] Renner described the difference between traditional animation and computer animation as being that the former is additive while the latter is subtractive. Working with computer animation, the director found that there were many elements he felt did not belong, such as texture, lighting and shading.[13] For the opening scene, Renner wanted to do something that was visually different from the rest of the film. He said that it is "a story before we get to the real story of the film." The scene is not actually traditional animation, but rather computer animation that looks traditional. Renner first did the scene using traditional animation, and then the team recreated it using computer animation, keeping as close to the reference as possible.[10]

For Migration, Renner explained that he took inspiration from naturally expressive animals in the wild in creating characters that have distinctly expressive features in their designs.[7] He described the ducks as challenging to design by the team. He recalled a team of 50 animators studying a real duck at Illumination.[13] Stimpson said, "Ducks are strange, complex-looking creatures and they all look alike!" As a result, designing the characters to both look appealing and distinct from one another was difficult.[9] Nature was the main inspiration for the color palette of the film; it contrasted with the more heightened color palettes of previous Illumination films.[9] A trip Stimpson took to New York City helped in forming the location in the film. According to Stimpson, great care was taken in portraying Jamaica. The setting in which the Mallards arrive is inspired by the country's Blue Mountains.[9] The visuals in the scene with the heron couple were inspired by The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920). That scene is followed by one with the Mallards flying through the clouds. Renner's view of the clouds during his plane trips to Illumination Studios Paris inspired the scene.[9]

Music

Main article: Migration (soundtrack)

On June 18, 2023, it was announced that John Powell would compose the film's music, marking his second collaboration with Illumination following The Lorax (2012).[14] Renner wanted a score that had "a level of unusual creativity" and fun. The score uses a lot of string instruments and human vocals. Powell tried emulating 1960s music, in which there were a lot of vocals, and Renner responded positively.[15] He also felt that he may have gotten the gig after expressing his admiration of Sergei Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf (1936) to the director.[16] Mon Laferte performed a cover of Destiny's Child's 2001 single "Survivor" for the film.[17] The soundtrack album was released on December 15, 2023.[17]

Release

Theatrical

Migration's world premiere took place on October 19, 2023, as the grand summit matinee of the VIEW Conference expo in Turin, Italy.[18] The film was theatrically released in the United States on December 22,[19] and is the first animated film to be released worldwide in the ScreenX format.[20] It was accompanied in theaters by the Despicable Me short film, Mooned.[21] The film was initially scheduled for release on June 30, 2023,[1] but was postponed to its final release date, with DreamWorks Animation's Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken later taking its original date.[19][22] On June 14, 2023, Illumination gave a special 25-minute preview of Migration at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, with Renner and Meledandri attending the event.[7]

Home media

Migration was released on digital download on January 23, 2024,[23] and on DVD, Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD on February 27. It includes three short films—Fly Hard, Mooned, and Midnight Mission.[24] The film was made available to stream on NBCUniversal's Peacock streaming service in the US on April 19, 2024.[25] As part of their 18-month deal with Netflix, the film streamed on Peacock for the first four months of the pay-TV window, before moving to Netflix for the next ten beginning on August 19.[26][27][28]

Reception

Box office

Migration grossed $127.3 million in the United States and Canada, and $172.5 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $299.9 million.[29][30]

In the United States and Canada, Migration was released alongside Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, Anyone but You and The Iron Claw, and was projected to gross $10–15 million from 3,761 theaters in its four-day opening weekend.[5] The film made $5.8 million on its first day, including $1.5 million from Thursday night previews. It went on to debut with $12.5 million, finishing third at the box office, and marked Illumination's lowest-grossing opening weekend.[31][32] In its second weekend, the film made $17.2 million, finishing second.[33] Migration then made $10 million in its third weekend of release, finishing in fourth place.[34][35]

Critical response

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 73% of 103 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.3/10. The website's consensus reads: "Beautiful animation and entertaining work from a talented voice cast help Migration take flight in spite of a story that doesn't quite stand out from the flock."[36] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 56 out of 100, based on 25 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.[37] Audiences surveyed by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A" on an A+ to F scale, while PostTrak reported 79% of filmgoers gave it a positive score, with 52% saying they would definitely recommend the film.[31]

La Croix's Stephane Dreyfus, although finding the plot rather predictable, gave the film 3 stars out of 5 and praised its sense of burlesque.[38] Michael Ordoña of the Los Angeles Times criticized the plot's unambitious nature. They, however, praised the film for differing from Illumination's previous filmography, particularly in the animation, humor, and voice performances.[39] Lovia Gyarkye of The Hollywood Reporter praised the film's direction, humor, and emotional core and concluded that its "considerable appeal perhaps lies in the simplicity of its premise: The hardest part of embarking on any new journey is taking off."[40] Writing for the San Francisco Chronicle, Zaki Hassan compared Migration favorably to Illumination's other 2023 film, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, saying, "While that film found success thanks to multigenerational nostalgia, this one soars higher by creating an original world and making the audience feel invested in the characters’ journeys."[41] Aparita Bhandari of The Globe and Mail felt that the film retained a balance between appealing to younger and older audiences and directed particular praise to Tresi Gazal's voice performance.[11]

Soren Andersen of The Seattle Times gave the film a 2 out of 4 star rating and, in contrast, felt the film lacked appeal for older audiences, criticizing its lack of subtlety in its themes.[42] Jake Coyle of the Associated Press commended the animation for its "warm cartoon tones" and "lush sense of color," but felt that the story was unoriginal, writing that "it never quite spreads its wings."[43] Kristen Page-Kirby of The Washington Post also directed praise at the animation, but felt the story lacked memorability and concluded, "Migration will be remembered as neither great nor terrible. It will simply fade into the cinematic ether like so many ducks in the wind."[44] Ryan Gaur of IGN gave the film a 5 out of 10 and felt that Migration was a step above Illumination's previous filmography with its animation and character dynamics, but was still weighed down by a tedious story and the occasional "typical brand of Illumination humor."[45]
