Migration is officially rated PG. Bontent's independent parent guide recommends it for ages 6+.

Migration is a 2023 animated adventure following the Mallard duck family as they journey from New England to Jamaica. Rated PG for mild action, peril, and some rude humor, the film depicts the Mallards navigating dangerous urban settings and a villainous human chef. While the story focuses on family dynamics and…

There is no sexual content, though one brief, mild comment is made about ducks 'making babies.'

Violence is limited to stylized, non-graphic animated peril. It involves birds narrowly avoiding traffic, being snatched by a chef, and getting into brief skirmishes with other animals; all action is slapstick in nature.

There is no profanity in the film.

There is no substance use in the film.

The central themes revolve around family separation, anxiety about the unknown, and a 'villain' who captures animals to cook them. These mature survival themes are balanced by the lighthearted, adventurous tone.

Migration runs 83 minutes, directed by Benjamin Renner, released in 2023.
