Yet another hugely entertaining animation from Warner Bros., Storks is one of the most insane yet absolutely delightful films you’ll see all year. Mixing rapid-fire and random humour with a heartfelt and warm story about family, there was barely a moment where I wasn’t grinning ear-to-ear in this film, making it one of the happiest, funniest and most enjoyable animations I’ve seen in quite a while.

Over the course of this film, the level of comedy changes quite significantly, but I want to start off by talking about the first two-thirds. Simply put, the humour during this part of the movie is utterly insane. Not only incredibly rapid and frantic, the sheer randomness of everything that happens on screen is at times bewildering to see, from a nerdy chicken with a jet pack to a pack of wolves turning into a submarine, there are literally no bounds to what this film will come up with, but that makes for massive laughs time and time again.

What’s brilliant is that this film knows how silly it wants to be, and that gives it a real confidence in the delivery of the insane brand of humour. It might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I guarantee that so many kids will love every second of it, and even adults can have a huge amount of fun too if they approach with the right attitude. Don’t expect this to be a Pixar classic, because that’s not what it’s trying to be. If you’re prepared to sit back and be hit with a barrage of utterly hilarious madness, then this film will be a massively entertaining watch.

That brand of ridiculous comedy is by far the film’s best feature, and it keeps it consistently entertaining and funny for the best part of an hour. There is a brief moment where it feels a little exhaustive, but that’s fortunately when everything takes a different direction.

Still retaining good humour, the final third of Storks is actually quite an emotional one. It’s not necessarily a tearjerker, however the final act’s heavy emphasis on family values and unity is exceptionally heartwarming to watch, and added an impressive level of depth to the characters and story as the film comes to a close, making it an even more wonderful watch beyond the hilarious comedy.

Finally, I want to quickly talk about the performances. Andy Samberg and Katie Crown are simply fantastic in the central roles, with excellent chemistry throughout, and fantastic comedic prowess at every moment. Along with the leads, the likes of Kelsey Grammer and Stephen Kramer Glickman provide some hugely entertaining voice performances for supporting characters, giving the film even more vibrancy and energy wherever you look.

Overall, I thought Storks was an absolutely brilliant film. Principally a hilarious and utterly insane family comedy, featuring bewildering humour, crazy animation and hilarious voice performances, it adds another level of delight in its final act with a heartfelt and happy climax.… Expand

I usually anticipate the animation films, but I was not interested in this. I saw it mainly because of how much I liked 'The Lego Movie'. This is not as good as that one, but cute little adorable animation. The film is exclusively for the kids and the families, but anybody can have a good time if they are not expecting according to their age, gender and other things. So if you are yet to watch, leave behind those in order to enjoy it.

It is nothing to do with the 2009 short film 'Partly Cloudy'. But those who wanted a feature film on the similar theme would enjoy it. It is a little different though. The storks who switched their business to another, 18 years later a chain of events makes them realise what they should be doing. So in an adventure, soon to be the boss, a bird named Junior struggles to fix his mistake. In the process, he unleashes some secrets which brings the final act where the narration decides which way to end.

Not a bad story, which is a road adventure like many animation films. The comedies were good and the characters are well developed in the short span. Some parts seem very silly, but enjoyable. Particularly the wolf-pack and their weird approach to deal with things. The animation too was very smooth and overall film was short, so swiftly narrated tale. This is not the year's best animation, though watching it for entertainment would work. Animation fans should not miss it, and must see for little children.

Storks is an animated film that works because of its fast paced scenes and dialogue. Nicholas Stoller has a lot to do with this film's success. He doesn't let the film become to drawen out and lagging in scenes by just keeping it moving. It'sStorks is an animated film that works because of its fast paced scenes and dialogue.

The story goesMy husband and I fell unexpectedly in love with this movie. We went to see it in theaters based on the humor evident in the trailer and were shocked by how much we enjoyed it not only for its humor but also its heart. The story goes surprisingly poignant places to do with parenting, family planning, and general themes about family relationships. The character design is extremely appealing, the animation is rock solid, and the lighting and materials are surprisingly lovely. I also really enjoyed the musical soundtrack. The score is unobtrusively supportive of the action and the pop songs for several scenes were very well chosen to contribute to the mood of the story points. Pigeon toady and the other characters' reactions to him are so darn funny. We keep quoting the lines to each other. If you are in the habit of assuming that films you didn't hear much about when they came out just aren't good, think again. This is an incredibly charming and enjoyable movie, and I recommend it to everyone who loves animated family films.… Expand

Storks soars in terms of animation and sentimental value, but it's humor feels like something that has already been laughed at countless times before.

I can't wait to see the movie Storks. You know I like this movie about birds like Rio and The Angry Birds Movie. I watched the Warner Bros. movie in the theatre since The Lego Movie.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ya había visto esta película en los cines, la verdad me encanto mucho la película, no creí ver tanta "emoción" y comedia... Como se ve, las cigüeñas ya no entregan bebes por ser "peligroso" y ahora entregan paquetes. Una cigüeña llamada Junior se ve obligado por su jefe a despedir una huérfana pero a la vez la única humana de la montaña cigüeña, llamada Tulip, a cambio de ser el nuevo jefe de la montaña, pero accidentalmente Tulip enciende la antigua máquina de bebes, y hacen una bebe, que Junior y Tulip de eran juntos devolver ese bebe.
Bueno, la historia es un poco simple, pero eso NO arruina la película, en cambio es entretenida.

La película empieza de una manera medio extraña, porque los personajes ya hacen todo su papel rápido, como en la escena de Tulip queriendo volar con otros tipos de aves que no saben volar, y terminan casi incendiando la fábrica. Pero después de todo, la película se desarrolla de una manera normal, pues un niño, que pidió un bebe sin saber que las cigüeñas ya no entregan bebes. Aún así Tulip y Junior tienen que entregarlo, pase lo que pase.

La comedia de la película es algo rara. Digo, los lobos se convierten en una escalera, un bote, un submarino, en un avión (que por cierto fracasaron en el intrnto) y luego se convirtieron en una camioneta. Cuando en realidad, son demasiados lobos para que se convierte en dichas cosas, pero al menos da risa, hasta mi papá se rió y yo también... También vi esta película doblada al español, y las voces estaban bastante bien, tenian puros modismos mexicanos, y les quedaban bastante bien a los personajes.

La animación es una de las cosas que más me interesa de una película, y aquí si supieron aprovechar la animación, en donde se puede ver una gran calidad de animación, los paisajes o escenarios se ven algo "realistas" y se ven bastante hermosos, bien diseñados y bien detallados, hay lugares que no se ven feos, el diseño de los personajes también me parece muy bueno, aunque, el diseño de los humanos algunos se llegan a ver medio cabezones, y bastante delgados, pero eso no es tan malo la verdad. También los bebes tienen un diseño algo decente, pues estos si se ven un poco cabezones, y los momentos donde aparecen, me parece algo "que me saca de onda".

También me gusto la personalidad de los personajes, son muy carismáticos. Exepto el puto jefe de la montaña cigüeña es bastante plano y algo aburrido. También el sentimiento de los personajes es bueno, no se ustedes, pero yo me puse muy pensativo con ver el final al ver a Tulip y su familia de nuevo. XD
Aveces me pasa con algún momento similar en esas películas animadas..

Debo decir que, cigüeñas es una gran pelicula, no es la mejor, no es perfecta, pero para mí, es una buena película que uno debería ver este fin de semana.. En serio, a mi me gusto que NO e encontrado cosas en contra de la pelicula...… Expand

Built on a solid platform of quality animation this kids animation goes from strength to strength. Appealing to adults and children the plot remembers the early years of life as a family. Cleverly it turns the inevitable vomit inducingBuilt on a solid platform of quality animation this kids animation goes from strength to strength. Appealing to adults and children the plot remembers the early years of life as a family. Cleverly it turns the inevitable vomit inducing cuteness into the butt of its own jokes, this only works due to the good casting choice of Andy Samburg as Junior the emotionally allergic stork and a hilarious couple of wolves! The story moves quickly to keep you engaged but none of the scenes feel pointless or simply filler, each is either genuinely entertaining or with a message it wants you to take from it.… Expand

Was better than I expected it to be. I was expecting to absolutely hate it but I ended up being slightly amused the entire time. I would rate it a 6 or 7, but since the score is so bad right now I'm giving it a 10 to balance it out.

Imagine myStorks is all kinds of surprising. Initially flying under my radar, I was expecting a generic animated flick of subpar quality that would really only appeal to young kids while boring and possible even annoying their parents. Imagine my surprise to find out that it's actually one of the funnier and sweeter movies this side of Pixar and DreamWorks.

Basically this is a story about family. Morals of opening yourself to others and finding your family are on full display. It's even got a message for adults about spending time with your kids before it's too late. There are plenty of sweet and heartwarming moments. Maybe a few tearjerkers for the more emotional out there(nothing wrong with that). Then there are those cute babies.

Storks is also flat out hilarious. There's a manic sense of energy to things that leads to the firing a constant stream of diverse jokes. With some range and energy it's almost unbelievable how well these jokes hit their mark. There's almost never a miss. The pace and almost insane nature of the humor may be off putting for some, but those who like their comedy fast, effective, and to the point are sure to be entertained.

Storks is an all around success that probably hasn't gotten the attention it deserves. It's crazy nature, original concept, and wealth of heart make it an excellent choice for families. Fully happy with this delivery.
