Meet the Mallard family.
They are led by the anxious yet endearing father Mack, voiced by Kumail Nanjiani, and the daring matriarch Pam, voiced by Elizabeth Banks, finds themselves at a crossroads. While Mack is content with the safety of their New England pond, Pam yearns to expose their teenage son Dax (Caspar Jennings) and adorable duckling daughter Gwen (Tresi Gazal) to the wonders beyond. Inspiration strikes when a migrating duck family shares thrilling stories of their travels. Pam seizes the opportunity to convince Mack to embark on an unconventional family vacation. They start from the familiar waters of their pond to the bustling streets of New York City and culminate in the tropical paradise of Jamaica. However, the Mallards’ meticulously planned adventure takes unexpected turns, pushing them beyond their comfort zones.
The film also features Awkwafina, Carol Kane, Keegan-Michael Key, David Mitchell, and Danny DeVito. Behind the screenplay is Mike White. He is known for his Emmy-winning work on The White Lotus and his contribution to the iconic School of Rock. Benjamin Renner directs and promises to deliver an entertaining and heartwarming addition to Illumination’s impressive portfolio. As the Mallards spread their wings, audiences can expect a hilarious and touching exploration of family bonds, self-discovery, and the thrill of embracing the unknown. So, buckle up for a feathered adventure that will leave you laughing, inspired, and perhaps even contemplating your migration into the unknown.
