Storks
Contents:
And, you guessed it, it was Pigeon Toady. He speaks in the most annoying way possible, like he's some sort of surfer dudebro who uses the word 'brah' a lot. I'm not saying that Steve Glickman, who voiced Pigeon, did a bad job, I'm just saying that he was terribly annoying to the point that I wanted nothing more than for his character to die a horrible death.
Outside of appearing in Workaholics, this guy has a shit filmography. I honestly have no idea if this guy is actually funny or not, but if his performance here is any indication, then he's fucking dreadful.

And I know I said that he wasn't actually bad, but if this is the type of voices he does, then I will hate him in everything he does. That's how annoying he was. At the very least it's a minor character and they do get some funny moments out of it. Which brings us to the ending.
Basically over a million infants are created and the storks are meant to deliver them all. This is where the film actually shows its progressive side. You get to see quick flashes of all the families that receive babies, like one to two second flashes, and you get to see two LGBT couples one lesbian and one homosexual receive babies.
Zippy and zany, cute and cuddly, Storks manages to balance wild humor with winning heart—for the most part. Lawrence 1 January Image Unavailable Image not available for Color: Garth Jennings, Christophe Lourdelet. Yes No Report this. Danny Trejo as Jasper.
You also see a single mother. I'd like to say that it's subtle because of the fact that it's a quick flash, but it's really not.
What's Behind the Myth That Storks Deliver Babies?
And I'm not saying that that's a bad thing in the least, I've always been very supportive of the LGBT community and their right to adopt. And it isn't, of course. The fact of the matter is that these people have a narrow-minded view of what families can be. Families come in all shapes and sizes, there's no one 'set' formula for what a family is or what it can be, regardless what these conservatives would have you believe. And I'm glad that the movie, in however of a small dose it may have been, showcased that. With that out of the way, the movie isn't perfect, far from it.
It's got a lot flaws and those flaws should be obvious.
Inconsistencies aside, I still found myself enjoying a lot of this movie. The voice acting is strong, outside of one really annoying character, the dialogue is good. The narrative isn't great, but it does a good job at getting you invested in its characters and their actions. I'd recommend it only as a rental though. Storks,like The LEGO Movie,has a not-really complicated story,packed in a fast 1 and a half hour movie,along with his gags and a heartbreaking last scene. 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. More Top Movies Trailers. DC's Legends of Tomorrow: Black Panther Dominates Honorees.
