Storks is a 2016 American animated adventure comedy-drama film directed by Nicholas Stoller and Doug Sweetland, and written by Stoller. The film stars the voices of Andy Samberg, Katie Crown, Kelsey Grammer, Jennifer Aniston, Ty Burrell, Keegan-Michael Key, Jordan Peele and Danny Trejo. The film follows two distribution centre employees—hotshot package delivering stork Junior and his human colleague Tulip—who accidentally create a baby using a defunct baby factory. In order to protect the baby from the company's manager, the two embark on a journey to deliver the baby to her family.

After Warner Animation Group was founded in January 2013, the project was announced, with Sweetland attached to direct the film, while Stoller was hired by the studio to create and write the film. It was announced in April 2015 that Stoller and Sweetland would co-direct the film, and Stoller would produce the film alongside Brad Lewis. The main cast was announced soon after. Mychael and Jeff Danna composed the film's musical score. The animation was provided by Sony Pictures Imageworks.

Storks premiered in California on September 17, 2016, and was theatrically released in the United States by Warner Bros. Pictures on September 23.[3] The film received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the animation, humor and voice acting, but criticized the story. It earned $183 million worldwide against a $70 million budget.

## Plot

[edit]

For generations, the storks of Stork Mountain delivered babies to families around the world, until one stork named Jasper imprinted on an infant girl and attempted to keep her for himself. Jasper accidentally dropped the infant's address beacon, and it broke into small pieces, then he went into exile. Unable to deliver the orphaned girl, the storks adopted her under the name Tulip. CEO stork Hunter discontinues baby delivery in favor of package delivery with Cornerstore.com.

Just 18 years later, Tulip, now a teenager, tries to promote new ideas for Cornerstore, which backfire and cause the company to lose stocks. One day, Hunter declares her to be a severe burden and liability due to this incompetence (the charts also justify this, as every time she tries to help, their profits go down, and when they do make progress, it is when she's absent). Hunter explains to Junior, his top employee, that he's being promoted to chairman, and so he chooses him to take his place as boss, exciting Junior. He assigns him to fire Tulip so he may be promoted to boss. Junior cannot bring himself to do so and instead transfers Tulip to the mailroom.

Meanwhile, a 4-year-old young boy named Nate Gardner, who lives with his workaholic parents Henry and Sarah, is feeling lonely and wants a younger sibling. He sends a letter to Cornerstore and it reaches Tulip, who enters the defunct baby factory and inserts the letter into the baby-making machine, causing it to create a pink-haired infant girl. Junior injures his wing trying to shut down the machine. Afraid that Hunter will fire him, Junior agrees to accompany Tulip and secretly deliver the baby to her family using a makeshift flying craft that Tulip invented. They eventually crash, escape a pack of wolves that fall in love with the baby, and reach civilization, during which Junior and Tulip bond with the baby and name her Diamond Destiny. In the meantime, Henry and Sarah open up to Nate's desire for a younger sibling and spend time with their son by building a landing platform for the storks.

Junior and Tulip encounter Jasper, who had followed them from Stork Mountain. Jasper has nearly repaired Tulip's delivery beacon, but is missing one piece, which had been in Tulip's possession for years. Junior confesses to Tulip that he was supposed to fire her but couldn't bring himself to do it, and a saddened Tulip leaves with Jasper to meet her family while Junior continues alone to deliver Diamond Destiny. Cornerstore's pigeon employee Toady learns about Diamond Destiny and informs Hunter, who reroutes her address beacon and leads Junior into a trap. Hunter has Diamond Destiny taken away to live with penguins until she is old enough in order to silence the incident and prevent more plummeting stocks while Junior is tied up and gagged.

Tulip reunites with Junior, freeing him and they return to Stork Mountain during the highly anticipated Storkcon event to save Diamond Destiny from the penguins. When they are cornered in the baby factory by Hunter and the other stork employees, Junior sends millions of archived letters from families into the baby-making machine, causing it to rapidly produce babies and distract the storks. Hunter seizes control of a giant crane and tries to destroy the factory, only to have Diamond Destiny to find the controls of the crane causing Hunter to lose control and cut the lines holding Cornerstore on, causing it to fall off the mountain taking Hunter with it. As a final resort, he makes an attempt to take Junior and Tulip down with him, but failed, as the robot falls down and Junior starts flying again.

In the aftermath of Cornerstore's destruction, Junior rallies the storks to deliver all the babies to their families around the world. Junior, Tulip, and Jasper deliver Diamond Destiny to the Gardners, and Junior has a vision of her future, taking her first steps, learning to ride a bike, being in a ballet, training her ninja skills, graduating and getting married. Nate is at first a little disappointed about not getting a little brother but quickly cheers up upon seeing his new sister's ninja skills. Tulip finally meets her missing family, and Junior and Tulip continue working as co-bosses at Stork Mountain.

## Release

[edit]

Storks was originally going to be released on February 10, 2017, which Warner Bros. had reset for The Lego Batman Movie.[12] The film was released on September 23, 2016, which was previously set for The Lego Ninjago Movie, which was then moved to a year later.[4] Storks was preceded by The Master, a five-minute short film based on the Lego Ninjago line of sets,[13] the short was later re-released in cinemas with The Lego Batman Movie in selected cinemas in the UK.

### Home media

[edit]

Storks was released by Warner Home Video on Blu-ray (2D, 3D and 4K Ultra HD) and DVD on December 20, 2016, with a digital release on December 6, 2016. Extras included a two-minute short film, titled Storks: Guide to Your New Baby (with onscreen title Pigeon Toady's Guide to Baby's[14]) and the Lego Ninjago short film, The Master.[15][16]

## Reception

[edit]

### Box office

[edit]

Storks grossed $72.7 million in the United States and Canada and $109.7 million in other countries for a worldwide total of $182.4 million, against a budget of $70 million.[2]

In the United States and Canada, Storks opened alongside The Magnificent Seven and was originally projected to gross around $30 million from 3,922 theaters in its opening weekend,[17][18] with some estimates reaching $36 million.[19] The Hollywood Reporter noted that in recent decades, Warner Bros. has not been able to produce very successful and lucrative animated films except for Space Jam in 1996, The Polar Express in 2004, Happy Feet in 2006, and The Lego Movie in 2014 and that the studio is hoping Storks would duplicate that success.[20] It grossed $435,000 from its Thursday previews and just $5.7 million on its first day, lowering weekend projections to $20 million. It ended up opening to $21.8 million, finishing second at the box office behind The Magnificent Seven's $35 million debut.[21]

Internationally, the film opened in conjuncture with its North American debut across 34 foreign territories, including the likes of Russia, China, India, and Japan.[18]

### Critical response

[edit]

On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 65% based on 138 reviews and has an average rating of 6.10/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Colorful animation and a charming cast help Storks achieve a limited liftoff, but scattershot gags and a confused, hyperactively unspooled plot keep it from truly soaring."[22] On Metacritic, the film has a score of 56 out of 100 based on 31 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[23] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A−" on an A+ to F scale.[24]

Michael Rechtshaffen of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a positive review and said: "There's a nice, snappy playfulness in the rapport between Samberg and engaging newcomer Crown. That lively, back-and-forth vibe also extends to the Aniston/Burrell and Key/Peele dynamic."[25] Peter Hartlaub of San Francisco Chronicle wrote: "Whoever is running Warner Animation Group appears to be allowing the lunatics to run the asylum. And that is a wonderful thing."[26] Tom Russo of The Boston Globe gave the film three stars out of four and said "Storks are known for delivering bundles that are irresistible, exhaustingly active at times, and frequently pretty darn messy. How completely appropriate, then, that Warner Bros.' 3-D animated feature Storks delivers the same."[27]

Owen Gleiberman of Variety gave the film a mixed review and called it "a strenuously unfunny animated comedy".[28] Samantha Ladwig of IGN rated the film a 4+1⁄2 (of 10) and said "Storks starts off well enough and delivers a few laughs, but ultimately it isn't quite sure of what it is."[29] Jesse Hassenger of The A.V. Club noted the "filmmakers' assumption [...] that if lines are said very fast and in silly voices, they will become funny," and criticized Warner Bros. for putting out a generic animation along the same, safe lines of what "other second-tier animation houses" are producing: "The Lego Movie brought with it the hope that the studio might reclaim some of the animation territory it has long ceded to other studios. Storks, though, is just another okay cartoon."[30]

Joe Morgenstern of The Wall Street Journal gave the film a negative review, saying "The whole movie seems to be on fast-forward, with crushingly brainless dialogue, hollow imagery and no way of slowing down the febrile action or making sense of the chaotic plot."[31] Barbara VanDenburgh of The Arizona Republic said, "Storks is charmless with rote obligation. This is a kid's film for hire, with none of the creativity, emotion and design that elevate the genre to art, or even simply a fun time at the movies."[32]

### LGBTQ representation

[edit]

Storks was noted for its inclusion of same-gender couples.[33][34][35][36][37] GLAAD called it "casually inclusive of same-sex couples."[38][39]
