Migration is an upcoming new original comedy following a group of birds on a family vacation like no other from Illumination, the studio that brought you The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Despicable Me, and more.
The Mallard family is in a bit of rut. While dad Mack is content to keep his family safe paddling around their New England pond forever, mom Pam is eager to shake things up and show their kids—teen son Dax and duckling daughter Gwen—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 for the winter, their well-laid plans quickly go awry. The experience will inspire them to expand their horizons, open themselves up to new friends, and accomplish more than they ever thought possible, while teaching them more about each other—and themselves—than they ever imagined.
Migration stars Kumail Nanjiani (Mack), Elizabeth Banks (Pam), Awkwafina, Keegan-Michael Key, David Mitchell, Carol Kane (Erin), Caspar Jennings (Dax), Tresi Gazal (Gwen) and Danny DeVito (Uncle Dan). Benjamin Renner is directing the movie alongside Illumination founder and CEO Chris Meledandri as a producer with the screenplay by Mike White.
Migration is releasing only in theaters on December 23.
