Thanks for the memories!

Powerful

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Honestly, I went in thinking this was going to be another mass manufactured lifeless animation (I'm looking at you Illumination...). But...there is actually some substance. Yes, a film about storks delivering babies (or lack of...) slowly became a coming-of-age animation about parenthood and family. In a world where storks deliver packages, a depiction of Amazon's idyllic dream of drone deliveries, a stork and orphan accidentally create a baby and must deliver said baby to the family who requested it. Silly lighthearted plot aside, the third act is surprisingly heavy and brimming with emotion. The themes of family, parental nurturing and teamwork are all of a sudden injected into the slightly lifeless first and second act. Making the third act rather touching. The film's story is well paced and continuously kept me engaged. A shaky start but I gradually became invested. The characters themselves were hit and miss. Their aesthetics are memorable, yet their personalities aren't which makes it difficult to like them. They are just there. There is a weird pigeon that somewhat stills every scene, I guess it's appropriate comedic timing. The voice acting was very bland. The one-dimensional characters meant that they could be voiced by anyone and so the overall execution felt generic. The animation was stunning, an extremely high-quality finish to each scene. For the first time ever (and hopefully the last), I can say that babies looked absolutely adorable. I succumbed to the cuteness much like the transformational pack of wolves did. Annoyingly in popular animations some pop songs are embedded into the film, which as you all know just irritate me. I want to watch a film, not consistently sing a Jason Derulo song in my head. An eternal nightmare. But but but, I honestly thought this was going to bad. I was pleasantly surprised. The third act alone saves the film from being an unmemorable animated flick. Worth a watch I would say.

Storks no longer deliver babies. They have a large warehouse not named Amazon, where they deliver packages and hopefully life won't imitate art. Tulip, is a undelivered human who works there and messes things up. Her most recent error is to process a baby delivery which involves a long perilous formula trek.The theme once again is family and friends, give up that electronic device to bond with your kid(s). The kids seemed to like the film, while I had a hard time getting into the characters, finding Tulip's situation sad as were her cute antics as in talking to herself. The film had some funny moments, mostly for the kids.

Storks is one of my all-time top 10 favorite movies ever. The story line is compelling, the humor is belly-laugh outrageous, and the creativity is superb. What's disappointing is that it isn't more popular, because when I saw it, I was sure "wolf pack, form (insert random noun here)" would become part of our cultural vernacular. The pigeon scene (how do you like me now?!) was snort-milk-out-your-nose funny. The brilliance of the writing is that instead of relying on tired, over-used 'bad guy' scenes to move plot ahead, even the what-you-think-will-turn-into-scary-scenes have a way of turning on a dime and becoming screamingly funny.

This movie was what I was expecting from an animated movie, funny, cute and with a touch of inspiration and real life value. The movie talks about the Storks who run a company, cornerstore . com who used to deliver babies, I'm not going to go way too deep in the plot or give spoilers, but all I can say that, it's really fun to watch and is very humorous, and is a great, clean, fun entertainment for the whole family.
