About Migration:
This holiday season Illumination, the studio behind Minions, Despicable Me, Sing, and The Secret Life of Pets, invites audiences to embark on a feathered family vacation like no other with its original animated comedy, Migration. The film blends heartfelt storytelling with big laughs and vibrant, action-filled sequences suited for all ages.
The story centers on the Mallard family. Mack, the father, prefers the comfort and safety of their familiar New England pond, while Pam, the mother, longs to broaden their horizons and introduce their children — teenage son Dax and duckling daughter Gwen — to the wider world. When a migrating duck family stops by and shares exciting tales of distant places, Pam convinces Mack to accept an adventure: a family trip that will take them through New York City on their way to tropical Jamaica.
What begins as a hopeful journey south for the winter quickly spirals into a series of unexpected detours and misadventures. The Mallards’ carefully planned route unravels, forcing them to adapt, discover resilience, and form new friendships along the way. As they face unfamiliar environments and surprising challenges, each family member grows, learns more about one another, and uncovers strengths they didn’t know they had.
Migration balances humor and heart, offering visual spectacle alongside relatable family dynamics. The film showcases themes of courage, acceptance, and the rewards of stepping outside one’s comfort zone. Packed with animated set pieces and comedic moments, it’s designed to entertain both kids and adults while delivering a warm message about exploring the unknown together.
If you’re in West Michigan, this screening is a great chance to see Migration early with your family. Tickets are limited, so be sure to claim your passes soon and prepare for an uplifting, laugh-filled animated journey that celebrates family, adventure, and the spirit of discovery.
