MIGRATION tells the story of the Mallard family as they travel south for the cold season, but in doing so, they must travel through New York City to get to the Bahamas — and it turns their lives upside down.

The movie features a voice cast of stars, including Elizabeth Banks, Kumail Nanjiani, Awkwafina, David Mitchell, Caspar Jennings, Tresi Gazal, Danny DeVito, Keegan-Michael Key, and Carol Kane. Benjamin Renner, one of the producers for ERNEST & CELESTINE, directed MIGRATION.
