About Migration

Migration is a 2023 American animated adventure comedy film directed by Benjamin Renner and written by Mike White, from a story they developed. Produced by Illumination and Universal Pictures, the film stars the voices of Kumail Nanjiani, Elizabeth Banks, Keegan-Michael Key, Awkwafina, and Danny DeVito. The story follows a family of mallards who try to convince their overprotective father to go on a vacation of a lifetime and attempt to migrate from New England, through New York City, to Jamaica. Illumination announced Migration in February 2022, with Renner and White attached as director and writer, respectively. Renner, who had previously helmed traditionally animated films, including Ernest & Celestine (2012) and The Big Bad Fox and Other Tales... (2017), was tasked with adapting his simple drawing style for a computer-animated film. In hiring Renner, studio head and producer Chris Meledandri sought to focus on a filmmaker's vision for the project in comparison with Illumination's recent films. John Powell composed the score, marking his second collaboration with Illumination following The Lorax (2012). Migration premiered at the VIEW Conference in Turin, Italy, on October 19, 2023, and was theatrically released in the United States on December 22 by Universal Pictures. The film received generally positive reviews from critics and grossed $301.2 million worldwide.
