Customer Ratings & Reviews

I see what Warner Brothers Animation is attempting to do here and I can dig it. After finding great success with The LEGO Movie and the fact they acquired the likes of Phil Lord and Chris Miller who directed 21 and 22 Jump Street (as well as Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, to their credit) to helm that hit animated movie the thought of continuing to try their hand at bringing in R-rated comedy directors and seeing how they operate within the world of children’s entertainment is a ballsy, but interesting move. Much like with the case of The LEGO Movie Warner Bros. was likely hoping this formula might produce something both mature and goofy with the plus of remaining consistently funny throughout the majority of its runtime. It makes sense and what better way to test said formula than with the likes of Nicolas Stoller, director of such films as Forgetting Sarah Marshall and the two Neighbors movies, thus the reason we now have Storks. Because of this inclination to take someone known for one thing and put them just far enough outside of their element, their comfort zone if you will, I was inclined to be more interested in this seemingly agreeable animated family movie than I might have been otherwise. I love it when directors or studios cast an actor known for one type or style of work, especially comedians, and place them in a different setting where we see them challenged in new/different ways that usually result in a more fascinating piece of work by virtue of the outside influences and persona that performer brings with them. That is kind of what is happening here though maybe not to the extreme of, say, Jim Carrey in The Truman Show. Rather, Stoller is being challenged by the limits of a PG-rating and how far he can go with his comedy inadvertently forcing him to be more creative with how he comes up with the laughs needed for a 90-minute children's film. And so, how does all of this hype and build-up effect the final product? Well, in many ways this is a disappointment when considering the potential the film had considering the interesting premise, its insanely talented and funny voice cast, and of course the presence of Stoller in the director's chair. Instead of producing anything unique or of distinguishable value Storks more or less plays by the rules of Pixar and DreamWorks movies where the narrative sees a couple of characters going on a quest to achieve a goal that will allow them to discover new things about themselves along the way. There's nothing especially wrong with this structure especially when executed in fun and interesting ways and Storks certainly has its quirks, but more than anything the film feels far too routine to be a product of someone who should have really been challenging themselves.

As an adult, I enjoyed this movie. The characters are so funny that i forgot that I was smiling harder, wider, and brighter then the kids. This movie is just too cute for its own good.

I'll be honest, I only watched this movie because my wife loves kids movies for whatever reason. It wasn't terrible, but there wasn't anything memorable.

I was not really into this movie. It’s alright but more of a rental than purchase.

good movie and better than expected. how do you like me nooooooooow

Wasn't as good as I hoped it would be, but my kids enjoyed it.

it was good, but given the cast and how many of these movies are pretty incredible... it was a bit of a let down. I would highly suggest getting Boss Baby instead of this movie since they came out around the same time and have a slightly similar story line, but the biggest difference is Boss Baby is amazing, where as this movie was just ok. worth seeing once, maybe, certainly very little to no rewatch value here.

In 4K on a LG OLED EG9600 the picture quality was great. Kids loved the movie, for the adults the one funny scene was during the discussion of who was staying up late with the baby. Otherwise I could have done without it. The only thing about the movie is since storks stopped delivering babies, my 6 year old asked how did the babies get delivered when the storks didn't do it? Ummmm....go ask your mother. ;)

This was actually the first movie my four-year old twins sat all the way through in a movie theater, with their Grandmother. It was a little pricey, but made for a nice Valentine's Day gift. The animation is consistent with major studio CG-animated films, and while the characters are a little stereotypical, the offbeat premise makes it watchable. Again, more for kids, and mine LOVE it.

I usually rate my animated kid movies based on how well it keeps the attentions of the kids, myself, or both. I won't say I disliked it but it didn't seem to grab my attention into the plot of the story. My 4-year-old son lost interest as well about half way through so I'd say that it might be good for older kids (maybe over 7 or 8) but not for the younger crowds.

Storks was an average kids CGI movie. It does not offer anything new to the market from the classic Disney, Pixar or Dreamworks films already out there. If the price is cheaper than your other selections, then pick it up as a filler. Otherwise, spend your money on one of the classics or better scriptd CGI kids movies.

These are the kind of big-budget animated films that are supposed to please both kids and adults. Well, kids will probably love it, but I found the main female character incredibly uninspired and boring. There are some laughs to be had, but overall this was a disappointment.

Overall this movie is good and my kids love it. The bad part is the digital copy. I already know this from past experiences but this movie, and other movies as well, only work with ultraviolet. If you have iTunes/Apple TV/iOS devices, this does not work with it.

It is a cute, entertaining, animated movie, no where near the funniest of 2016. Not bad mind you... drags a bit here and there. You may find yourself saying "Cool" in a different way afterwards. Still worth a watch especially if you catch it cheap.

It seems as if studios are rushing to bring graphic intensive movies to market. While this film is fun and light, one might ask if the movie was truly necessary to make. Fun movie, but it's no "Up" of "Wall-E"

This is a cute and funny story about where babies come from -- or used to come from (be prepared for possible questions afterwards!) Well voiced characters (Andy Samberg, Katie Crown, Kelsey Grammar)

I didn't think it was for the whole family. It was a little too silly leaning torward the very young. Animation wasn't as good as most movies out today. Storks looked more like sea gulls.

I wanted 4k but settled for the combo. I think the picture quality is amazing despite the higher resolution. Adults will find this funny despite this being a kid's movie.

I was very disappointed in this movie. Story was all over the place. It was difficult to follow and the characters were not as endearing as one would have liked.

This animation feature is a very cute and wholesome movie that a family can enjoy with very young children. Older children will probably get bored quickly.
