STORKS (Theatrical Release USA 2016)

 Ben Meyers’ Rating: 4.0|5.0 Starsìììì 

Storks—animation—can be noted for its creativity and fresh storyline. It has a wonderful, unexpected conclusion that is highlighted by the exceptionally good animation scenes. The voice cast has been well-chosen. The stork/baby delivery idea can be more deeply explored than this movie allows. It’s a good choice for family share entertainment.
