Migration

TOP PICK: MIGRATION

Voices of Elizabeth Banks Danny DeVito

Opens Boxing Day

Foreground: A family of Mallard ducks try to convince their overprotective father to go on the vacation of a lifetime flying all the way from New York City to Jamaica.

Background: French illustrator Benjamin Renner is a big name in international animation circles (his 2012 work Ernest & Celestine is an all-ages delight) and his Hollywood directing debut has attracted a top-flight voice cast (including Awkwafina Kumail Nanjiani and Wonka star Keegan-Michael Key).

Close Up: If the comic repartee seems a little cleverer than usual for a kids' flick it will be down to the fella who wrote the screenplay. Mike White is best known as the creator of the global series sensation The White Lotus and the family classic School of Rock.
