New Trailer for Animated Adventure Film MIGRATION Featuring Taylor Swift Song "Out of the Woods (Taylor's Version)"
A new trailer has been released for the animated adventure film, Migration, featuring the Taylor Swift song, “Out of the Woods (Taylor’s Version)”. Illumination’s upcoming family comedy was written by Mike White (The White Lotus, School of Rock) and it was directed by Benjamin Renner (Ernest & Celestine, The Big Bad Fox and Other Tales). The cast is led by Kumail Nanjiani (The Big Sick, Eternals) as anxious Mallard dad, Mack; and Elizabeth Banks (Hunger Games, Pitch Perfect franchises) as Pam, the Mallards’ daring, quick-witted matriarch.
They are joined by Caspar Jennings as Dax, the Mallards’ confident and restless son, and, in her feature film debut, Tresi Gazal plays Gwen, the family’s innocent and lovable daughter. It also features Awkwafina (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) as the scrappy leader of a New York City pigeon gang; Carol Kane (The Princess Bride) as Erin the heron, the first friend that the Mallards make on their journey; Keegan-Michael Key (The Super Mario Bros. Movie, The Lion King) voices a homesick Jamaican parrot locked away in a Manhattan restaurant; David Mitchell (Peep Show) plays the yogic leader of a mysterious duck farm; Danny DeVito (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia) co-stars as Mack’s curmudgeonly, adventure-averse Uncle Dan.
The film centers on the Mallard family, who is in a bit of rut. “While dad Mack is content to keep his family safe paddling around their New England pond forever, mom Pam is eager to shake things up and show their kids—teen son Dax and duckling daughter Gwen—the whole wide world. After a migrating duck family alights on their pond with thrilling tales of far-flung places, Pam persuades Mack to embark on a family trip, via New York City, to tropical Jamaica.”
As the Mallards make their way South for the winter, “their well-laid plans quickly go awry. The experience will inspire them to expand their horizons, open themselves up to new friends and accomplish more than they ever thought possible, while teaching them more about each other—and themselves—than they ever imagined.”
This looks like it’s going to be a lot of fun! Check out the new trailer below, and watch Migration when it is released in theaters on December 22nd.
