Migration

Given that this family-friendly confection looks, sounds and tastes a treat, you’d have to be fussy to quibble.

The character moments here resonate, and there are enough stakes to make the final scenes feel meaningful.

It is very silly and often strange, but it’s also sweet and funny, and damn it all if you don’t start to really care about this odd little family.

A screenplay by White Lotus creator Mike White elevates proceedings with an enjoyably sardonic bite.

It’s all big action. Big colorful visuals. Outsized vocal performances.

Migration is satisfactory but uninspiring.

In spite of the pedigree of White as writer (and yes, it is that Mike White, of "The White Lotus" and "School of Rock"), and Benjamin Renner as director (following up on his very sweet and tender 2014 animated film "Ernest & Celestine"), Migration rarely approaches a level of excitement or creativity that might be hoped for with a big-budget animated feature.

perfect, impeccable, funny and entertaining, great and witty adventure, it's for the whole family, animation from illumination, from the studio that made Despicable Me, quality villains, bring on Migration 2. Best film of 2024 until now.

Com alguns momentos engraçados e divertidos. Esse filme patos é bem esquacivel, mas é um bom passa tempo

IN A NUTSHELL: It's directed by Benjamin Renner and Guylo Homsy. Writing credits also go to Benjamin Renner, as well as Mike White. It's already received a nomination for Best Original Score by the HMMA. Keegan-Michael Key recently won the Award for Film Excellence from the MMCG too! Believe it or not, this is the 4th time he has voiced a bird! Those roles were in The Angry Birds, The Star, and Toy Story 4. THINGS I LIKED: Kudos to Keegan-Michael Key on his performance. He's consistently fantastic in everything he does. If you want to see him in a fun Christmas movie, you should definitely watch Jingle Jangle on Netflix. Awkwafina has now voiced a bird three times after doing Storks (2016) and The Little Mermaid this year. It's great to hear Danny DeVito's voice in an animation. This is only his 2nd time working with Illumination since his 2012 movie The Lorax. I always get a kick out of hearing Carol Kane's unique voice. Other talented voices in the cast include Elizabeth Banks, Kumail Nanjiani, David Mitchell, and Caspar Jennings. There's a lot of visual humor, in addition to the verbal jokes. The musical score was composed by John Powell. The action sequences are almost non-stop. Viewers will get a kick out of being introduced to a lot of characters during the adventure. Overall, the movie is family-friendly, and something the whole fam can do during the holidays. THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE: I was bored within minutes. I'm REALLY tired of movies that elevate women while simultaneously making men look like buffoons...human or bird. This is the classic kids' movie that makes a lot of noise and keeps them distracted while disinterested parents can wash the dishes and clean the house. So much of the movie is cliched, including the obligatory, happy dance scene celebration at the end of the film. TIPS FOR PARENTS: Some physical violence Different kinds of weapons are used. Lots of talk of cooking animals. Kids might be interested in learning more about Jamaica and where it's located because of what they see in the film.

"Patos", como traduzido no mercado brasileiro, tem na direção o excelente Benjamin Renner de "Ernest et Célestine", e talvez por isso funcione a pegada infantil da aventura. Com uma história bem bobinha sobre patos saindo da sua "lagoa de conforto" rumo à Jamaica, eles atravessarão alguns perigos no caminho e fortalecerão os laços familiares. Os traços dos personagens estão bem dignos, gostei de vários personagens, inclusive os pontuais que a família vai encontrando pelo caminho. Dos urubus à arara, às garças meio tenebrosas, tá visualmente muito satisfatório para o tanto de ave. Assim, tecnicamente o estúdio que produz os "minions" segura o rojão. A trama em si, tem vários pontos que me incomodou. A começar pelo conflito familiar forçado, tanto que a resolução não gera qualquer emoção. Neste sentido, o estúdio ainda caminha num percurso onde a Pixar/Disney já sai correndo. O humor é infantil, mas ao menos funciona. É uma graça ver os gags, e o time, combinado com uma edição primorosa, vai agradar os pequenos, sem piadas ofensivas, tudo muito inocente mas bom o suficiente par a sessão em família. Algo que depõe contra a história é a semelhança com "a fuga das galinhas", e não são poucas, especialmente em relação ao segundo filme, "Chicken run: dawn of the nugget". Temos o desejo de liberdade de seu local de morada, temos um vilão com muito dos arquétipos da vilã do filme das galinhas, o celeiro com patos artificialmente felizes e bem nutridos, prontos para o abate ao comprador. É uma semelhança que, não sei a que ponto, é pura cópia mesmo, embora provavelmente os dois roteiros tenham sido escritos em paralelo. Enfim, é um filme de bom grado para se divertir, mas que não passa disso. É pra rir e curtir a aventura, peca na emoção e no roteiro meio raso, mas é surpreendentemente funcional.

The Characters are pretty corny but the story and the environments were okay.
