This morning, we had the pleasure of attending an exclusive preview of “Migration,” a heartwarming film following a duck family’s adventurous journey from their cozy home to Jamaica for the winter.
The dad in the story mirrored a lot of people’s hesitation about stepping into the unknown, while the rest of the family radiated excitement for exploration—a sentiment that resonated with me on a personal level.
What struck a chord was the movie’s underlying message: the importance of venturing beyond our comfort zones. As a family planning to visit Jamaica this year, the scenes depicting the vibrant landscapes had my daughter eagerly asking, “Is that what Jamaica will look like?” Her excitement for our upcoming trip was palpable throughout the entire film.
Adding a dose of humor to the narrative was Delroy, a Jamaican parrot voiced by the brilliant Keegan-Michael Key. His character brought joy and laughter, becoming an instant favorite.
Despite the BBFC’s U rating mentioning “very mild threat, violence, rude humor,” these elements sailed over my daughter’s head, making it a worry-free family experience. The film’s official release on February 2nd aligns perfectly with the upcoming February half term, offering families a heartening option for quality time together.
The film’s impact extended beyond the screen, as we found ourselves inspired to explore Duck World on Charing Cross Road and plan more park visits for our duck-loving family.

In conclusion, “Migration” is more than just a movie—it’s a personal journey that tugs at the heartstrings and leaves you with a sense of warmth. I genuinely hope you enjoy it as much as our family did.
