Since Everyone is talking about Vector and excited to see him again, reminder he, along with Gru and the minions, crossover with a anime called Inazuma Eleven.
Before I start this review, I'll just have you know that the director who made this also made a movie called Ernest and Celestine. Pretty obscure film, but it was one of the very few films I actually gave a 9 out of 10. Now, granted, I was young back when I first watched it and I could think differently now, but I'm just saying.
Which is why it's pretty amazing how Migration is actually quite the step down from Ernest and Celestine. It's still a decent movie, but it isn't anything to write home about.
Story
If you thought the Mario movie was simplistic, I'd say the Mario movie had a bit more going on than this one. On one hand, it's a basic adventure film and on the other hand, things happen that don't make sense. Like how the plot of the film gets started by Mack turning a 180 and deciding to migrate. The mallards get caught by these giant birds that they think want to eat them, but actually don't. During action moments, the birds would be screaming but nobody is alerted. And then the film loses its footing toward the end when they introduce a villain who wants to cook the birds. Nothing really special to say about the story. It's that weak.
Characters
The characters have their charmingly quirky moments, but like the story, they don't really feel meaningful. Mack is your average overprotective parent for some unexplained reason, the mother (forgot her name) is just a mother. Characters like the pigeon, parrot, and the uncle didn't really do much and probably shouldn't have been there in the first place. I do think the thin story hurts the characters somewhat. I do like Gwen, Dax, and the uncle personality-wise but I wish they were in a better story.
Overall
Clearly a movie made for children and I'm sure slice-of-life fans would like it, but it's no Despicable Me (another simple film by Illumination that would appeal to both adults and kids). Nothing much special, that's why this review is so short. It's cute, but it's not going to stick in my head after a while. I think it would've done better as a short or it could've used some more drafting in order to structure the story better.
I give Migration 6.1 bells out of 10.
Mooned
I always wanted to know what happened to Vector on the Moon, but idk, man. Like Migration, it just seemed like it was made to entertain the kids. Vector is not as cool as he once was in the film, and jog my memory, but I don't remember his suits having abilities besides flying? (And I just recently rewatched the first film). It's good for a laugh, but that's about it. Maybe it didn't really need to be made.
Can someone pirate "mooned" and post it on this website (either directly or as in one of those links were you click them and it downloads the movie into your phone),I don't really want to go ahead and watch "migration" in cinemas,I just wanna see the short
(btw this blog is pro-piracy,and im 100% ok with people pirating movies,tv shows,or shorts, especially ones made by big companies like Universal,Warner Bros,and Disney, because who tf cares if they lose some money, those multi-billion companies are greedy as shit and can go fuck themselfes)

So. I hear you have an abnormally high white blood cell count?? That’s pretty neat. Your body must be the perfect temperature for multiplying phagocytes.
ANYWAY. I’m glad you’re doing ok!! You really worried me for a sec, you know?? I’m sure I coulda fixed you up myself. A rolling vein isn’t THAT hard to find. Doctors are nerds anyway. I could do better.
I wanted to let you know I’m proud of you, though. That kinda thing would be scary for anyone. Hell, even I’d have been panicking, and I’m, like, the single toughest dude alive. When I DO make it off the moon, which I WILL, I’ll come down juuuust for you. You can move in with me! My bed gets cold at night anyways. Can’t wait to see you again (in cinemas on December 22nd).
I love you. Kisses!! Mwah, mwah!! This is a text post, so you can’t get me back 😈

Ps. I wanted to run my latest evil, villainous plot by you as well. So, basically, I replace every single one of the seals at sea world with your dad. We just, like, take him in the middle of the night and plop him in there. I think it’d be hilarious.
AHHHHHHH!!! YOU GOT ME CRYING AND SCREAMING ON CALL! ; i started frying.
