Leslie Felperin Guardian A slapdash air of will-this-do? carelessness permeates the film. Rated: 2/5 Jul 6, 2018 Full Review Andrew Murray The Upcoming In short, Flying the Nest is a feature that has far better animation than it deserves. While attempts are made to develop the movie's simplistic plot, its forgettable, band delivery prohibits the film from soaring. Rated: 3/5 Feb 6, 2021 Full Review Barbara Shulgasser Common Sense Media Bird searches for family in animated adventure; peril. Rated: 2/5 Apr 30, 2019 Full Review Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun (Australia) While the standard of animation seen here is quite strong - especially when conveying the natural splendour of the Icelandic landscape - the storytelling chugs along on autopilot, and the voice cast follow suit. Rated: 2/5 Feb 28, 2019 Full Review Andy Lea Daily Express (UK) The animation is pretty and the story is well paced. Rated: 3/5 Jul 8, 2018 Full Review Jo Berry Movies4Kids Little viewers will enjoy this prettily animated tale... Rated: 3/5 Jul 6, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member enjoyable adventure cartoon for the whole family to enjoy Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review ranny l Ploey, Ploey, Ploey… where do I begin? This is a cute family / love story that dragged until the last 10 minutes of the film. It was very hard for me to stay engaged. The story is about a little plover chick named Ploey, who has not learned how to fly before his family migrates to the south. He learns about bravery and adventure through the scary winter. Ploey must face his fear of flying, in order to be reunited with his family and his true love Ploveria. Throughout his experience he meets a malicious hawk named Shadow, a creepy cat and a sympathetic big bird named Giron. My favorite character in this film is Giron. The voice of Giron is played by John Stamos who is well known for his role Jesse on Full House. Giron is amusing, lovable and smart. He comes to Ploey's rescue. My favorite part is when Giron uses Ploey as bait, then accidentally falls asleep in the middle of the trap. I could not stop laughing. Ploey is another favorite character of mine, because he reminds me so much of the adorable Chicken Little. There are several parts in this movie that are not necessary, which causes the film to drag. The music is very mundane and I felt like I was going through the long winter with Ploey. The movie starts to pick up towards the last ten minutes of the film. The message is to never quit. Everyone learns at their own pace. As long as you keep going and not give-up, you will make it. I give this movie a 3 out of 5 stars and recommend it to ages 4 to 11. I do not think adults will enjoy this so much. Ploey opens in theaters in the US on April 26, 2019. Reviewed by Milika L., KIDS FIRST! Film Critic. For more reviews by youth, visit kidsfirst dot org.
