STORKS Movie Review

Lots of really humorous scenes, great animation and parents will relate to some scenes in pretty incredible ways given that Tulip and Junior end up being responsible for a little baby on their adventure to deliver the baby to it’s new home.

STORKS is a hilarious ode to parenting as it captures all those priceless and challenging moments every parent will find relatable. We think kids and parents will both love this clever funny and heartwarming film hat delivers laugh out loud comedy and a great message about what it means to be a family.

During my time in LA, we were able to interview some of the voice cast and directors of the movie. I love hearing the passion animators and directors have about bringing their work to life! You can check out my interview post for more thoughts but here are a few tidbits I found neat.

What’s really interesting is that the Director, Nicholas Stoller, typically directs adult comedies – like Neighbors. So it was really neat to see him team up with animation directors with lots of experience to bring this movie to life. I think this lends to the likeability of the film for all ages as Nicholas worked with the voice cast to riff and hash out lines during the recording. I think this really created the huge comedic effect in Storks and all kinds of laughs that you don’t typically see in an family animation movie.

Nicholas Stoller was creating this movie as he was going through the early days of parenthood so that inspired many of his ideas since he’s living in the trenches himself.

Storks is heartwarming, clever, and funny for all ages. A true comedic ode to parenting that rings true for everyone.

Andy Samberg on Playing a Stork

We had the chance to sit down with Andy Samberg, who plays Junior in the movie. He was hilarious & likeable. I loved listening to his thoughts on voicing Junior and what a collaborative process it was for him. Andy said, “It was fun seeing himself as another species.”

Fun Scenes from the Wolf Pack

Nothing is too scary in the movie for the kiddos. There are a few scenes with a pack of wolves who would love to keep but they are mostly silly and bring great action and animation scenes to the film. I don’t think the kids will be too scared, but if they are you can reassure them that our characters will escape unscathed.
