Audience Member The message for kids isn't perfect for the majority of the movie, but it gets it right by the end, and causes a lot of laughs along the way. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is literally the worst!!!!!! There is nothing more to be said. Honestly this movie really sucked......wouldn't recommend it to any REAL movie-lovers. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member funny movie with unique premise. But this movie just has 'good' screenplay and poor dialogue. Also this movie has weird design and weird ending. overall this movie still funny Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Not all the birds born navigator. This 'Yellowbird' came between 'Free Birds' and 'Angy Birds'. I liked all the three. They all about the birds, but different from each others. This is a French film in English language. It tells the story of a yellow bird who was raised by a ladybug. All his life he lived in a small safe enclosure, but the destiny chooses him to lead a flock of birds to migrate during the eve of winter. Without any experience how he manages to accomplish the mission is what covered in the remaining parts. The animation standards were high. The character models and backgrounds, all were impressive. Even the colours and texture were so good. But the story was weak. The adventure did not have any major impressive scene. It has some decent jokes, but not an adventure to define the film. It was a simple story about a lie and doing the right thing after realising that. I am sure not everyone would enjoy it, but kids would. For me, it had lots of ups and downs throughout the narration. At least it ended decently. Animation films won't release every weekend and I have seen almost all the top ones so far, so what's next are these ones. For the animation fans, this won't be a bad flick if you welcome quality ones, except the story which was just okay. That means it is for the selected viewers. 6.5/10 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Thought this one was a little disappointing as I thought they could have done more with it, but, it was still pretty good overall Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member CGI could have done better nowadays. Preschoolers might like this one. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
