Critics Consensus

Beautiful animation and entertaining work from a talented voice cast help Migration take flight in spite of a story that doesn't quite stand out from the flock.

With cute characters, a fun, fast-paced story, and plenty of laughs, Migration is a good option for family movie nights.

Wendy Ide

Observer (UK)

Fortunately, a screenplay by White Lotus creator Mike White elevates proceedings with an enjoyably sardonic bite.

Rated: 3/5

Tim Robey

Daily Telegraph (UK)

... Perhaps the screenplay packs less sneaky wit than you’d hope from Mike (The White Lotus) White. But given that this family-friendly confection looks, sounds and tastes a treat, you’d have to be fussy to quibble.

Rated: 4/5

Movies We Texted About

It sells themes of bravery and being adventurous relatively well for a story of this kind, using its medium to humour and entertain while also being supportive underneath the veil of its narrative.

Migration is a solid-animated film that might have made one too many safe decisions regarding its plot, animation style, and themes.

Screenwriter Mike White conjures up a series of episodes ... There is much for older, childless adults to enjoy ... splendid animation. ... often quite unexpectedly funny. ... The high quality of the voice cast ensures that every nuance rings true.

Probably one of the best children films of that year. Honestly speaking I may have went to watch this film at least 3 times with my kids and I enjoyed it each time as if it were the first. You kind of learn to love and admire films like that and this is definitely one of them. Trust me.
