The best feeling after a movie is the rush of emotion you feel when recalling moments from the movie- Storks did just that.

The movie follows a peculiar stork named Junior (Andy Samberg, Hotel Transylvania), his only dream is to become boss of Cornerstore, a delivery service with entirely bird employees except one human girl, Tulip (Katie Crown, Clarence). Cornerstore used to be baby delivery service until an incident occured leaving Tulip orphaned. Now that Tulip is old enough, Junior is given the difficult task of firing Tulip but instead he takes her to the old headquarters that had been shut down. While Tulip accidently starts up the old machine producing a baby, and Junior takes up the task of delivering the baby alongside Tulip.

When I walked into the theater I was unsure of what to expect; the one trailer I saw didn’t provide very much insight to the movie. Still, I was quite excited since I typically have had good experiences with movies produced by Warner Bros and with my family in tow I was ready to watch.

I was enthralled by the movie at first with its scenic views and captivating narration. Sadly, I didn’t feel that way for the whole movie, but the concluding moments were able to save it as I nearly felt tears in my eyes.

While the majority of the movie was filled with action and temper tantrums, and believe me it is not always the best combination. However, as I kept watching and I slowly made more connections between all their outbursts and backstories, I began to find the characters to be quite lovable even if they are also quite abstruse. I felt what saved the movie in the end was the side characters, specifically the antagonists, as they provided laughter that the movie would have otherwise lacked.

Although the storyline needs a bit of work, I would have to commend the movie for a good concept and an amazing soundtrack. I found the music enhanced the story itself and with a touch of comedy here and a sprinkle of emotions there, Storks is great for those who enjoy family friendly animations.
