Illumination's "Migration" Trailer Released

Illumination Entertainment released Tuesday the official trailer for the animated family ducks movie "Migration".

The movie follows the story of a family of ducks who live in a pond in New England and no longer have to migrate because the winters are milder.

The family of ducks finds themselves at odds. With the weather warming, the father in the family wants to remain safe and comfortable in their pond in New England, while the wife wants them to explore the wider world.

The voice cast of the feathered family vacation pic includes Oscar and Emmy nominee Kumail Nanjiani (Eternals) as Mack, alongside Emmy nominee Elizabeth Banks (The Hunger Games) as Pam. Caspar Jennings and Tresi Gazal lend their voices as Dax and Gwen respectively, the latter of which in her feature film debut.

Awkwafina (The Little Mermaid) also joins the cast as a New York pigeon gang leader, while Carol Kane (The Princess Bride) stars as Erin the heron. Keegan-Michael Key, David Mitchell, and Danny DeVito also star.

Illumination founder and CEO Chris Meledandri previously opened up about the upcoming pic, saying: “The film is very beautiful and has a painterly quality that is quite different from anything we’ve done at Illumination,”.

“The story is told with humor and heart. It’s a remarkably human story with characters who are very relatable and end up wrestling with issues that we all understand, even though they are ducks. And their qualities as ducks are incredibly well executed, from the smallest detail on a feather to their movements and their flight. So it’s a movie that transports you into this world up in the sky, but at the same time it’s very true to who we are.”

"Migration” debuts in theaters on December 22.
