Flight movie... no pun intended... "Storks" is what I managed to watch that's more notable, during 2x23 hours of flight travel last week, after looking through the on-board media system for something to put me to sleep. This one didn't succeed. Surprisingly, it's a pretty funny animation despite a subject that didn't look that promising: storks restart delivering babies. That's after moving to standard parcel post services due to logistic economics. Well, actually this subject comes more as a conclusion of the story, which follows the delivery of a baby order received after a long time since the last transport of such kind. The mission is accomplished by a stork that's looking to become the boss stork, and tries hard to keep all the "not so legit" operation under the hood to keep its promotion chances. The bird is helped by Tulip Orphan, a girl left in storks care after a failed delivery 18 years behind. Moving back to the current delivery, obviously this doesn't go easy bringing with it a bunch of lighthearted humor that reminded me of early Dreamworks. Probably the closest example would be "Madagascar". Most of this feeling is brought through lots & tiny bits & pieces: diverse side characters + situations glued on the main story, so I can't give too much without spoilers = good reason to stop here ;)
