Review of Storks (2016) by Bradley J — 02 Oct 2016

Storks is an amiable and occasionally touching little animated flick with one ingenious comedic sequence involving creepy penguins and a sleeping child. However, Storks had the potential to be even funnier and even more poignant had it really stuck to one thing, instead of hundreds ideas thrown in a blender and swirled onscreen.

The idea of a family mending their love for each other with the arrival of a child and the unlikely stork and girl mission to deliver the child, had a lot of warmth in premise. Throw in a villainous pigeon, shape-shifting wolves and dialogue spit out at an abnormally quick pace, Storks loses balance and becomes just another ok animated film.

And maybe that's ok. Storks is cute and funny, just not enough of either to distinguish itself. Rating: 63.
