"Migration" is Illumination's much-anticipated film following a peculiar duck family on an adventurous journey in New York City. The movie encountered significant delays spanning five years, primarily due to Covid-19. The entire cast filmed everything in isolation while drawing inspiration from each other's performances, fostering a semi-collaborative environment during the movie's creation. Unexpectedly, the film faced a release date pushback from summer to winter, partly due to COVID-related production delays. Universal Studios aimed to capitalize on audience demand for summer-like entertainment during the colder winter months. Despite facing competition from other blockbuster releases, such as "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom" and "Wonka," expectations remain high for "Migration" owing to Illumination's track record with successful films like "Despicable Me" and "The Super Mario Bros. Movie." Keegan-Michael Key, excited about portraying a Jamaican character, encountered challenges perfecting the accent, often slipping into an Irish tone, and requiring numerous retakes. Voice actors appreciated the freedom in animated roles, allowing for exaggerated expressions and overacting, contributing to bringing their characters to life. Moreover, the film incorporated real-life attributes of the actors into the characters they voiced, adding unique touches to the animated personas. Director Benjamin Renner, who had limited interaction with the cast due to the isolated recording process, influenced the voice and character direction, fostering a cohesive connection among the team. The film's detailed animation, genuine character portrayals, and the director's vision promise an immersive experience for audiences. Despite the extensive delays and seasonal release shift, "Migration" emerges as a promising addition to winter cinema, showcasing perseverance and dedication throughout its challenging production phase.
