To be honest I dont have much faith in this film. This year has been especially brutal to movies and I dont see much attractive about this. I predict it may be Illumination's first flop.

Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQfo0HJhCnE

This description is from the trailer and is not complete to avoid plagiarism.

This holiday season, Illumination, creators of the blockbuster Minions, Despicable Me, Sing and The Secret Life of Pets comedies, invites you to take flight into the thrill of the unknown with a funny, feathered family vacation like no other in the action-packed new original comedy, Migration.

The Mallard family is in a bit of rut. While dad Mack is content to keep his family safe paddling around their New England pond forever, mom Pam is eager to shake things up and show their kids—teen son Dax and duckling daughter Gwen—the whole wide world. After a migrating duck family alights on their pond with thrilling tales of far-flung places, Pam persuades Mack to embark on a family trip, via New York City, to tropical Jamaica.

As the Mallards make their way South for the winter, their well-laid plans quickly go awry. The experience will inspire them to expand their horizons, open themselves up to new friends and accomplish more than they ever thought possible, while teaching them more about each other—and themselves—than they ever imagined.

From a screenplay by Mike White, the Emmy winning creator of The White Lotus and the screenwriter of School of Rock, the film stars a top-flight comedic cast led by Oscar® and Emmy nominee Kumail Nanjiani (The Big Sick, Eternals) as anxious Mallard dad Mack and Emmy nominee Elizabeth Banks (Hunger Games and Pitch Perfect franchises) as Pam, the Mallards’ daring, quick-witted matriarch.

To be honest I did find a lot of the jokes REALLY funny, and no one actually goes to any Illumination movie for the gripping plot but I just dont see this succeeding. I would LOVE being proven wrong and that this will be awesome and succeed as well.

It feels like general Illumination fair. A So Okay, It's Average film with So Okay They're Average characters. Harmless, but probably not a film I'll watch more than twice at best.

I will say though, the first trailer was really weird. It didn't really give us any hint at the plot, it was just a rundown of every film they made (Sans The Lorax (2012) for some reason) and the scene of the Mallards taking off. That felt like something that should have been used for, like, Illuminations' Milestone Celebration movie, but I doubt Migration is that film.
