Film @ the library: Bird's-eye view

The life of the Mallard family has become a bit of a rut. Vader Mack likes to keep his family safe and is fine with paddling around in their pond in New England for the rest of their lives, but mother Pam wants a change and would like to show their children —teenage son Dax and duckling Gwen— more of the world. After a family of migratory birds lands in their pond with exciting stories about distant places, Pam manages to persuade Mack to go on a family vacation via New York City to tropical Jamaica. Als de Mallards head south for the winter, their carefully planned trip soon goes awry. Through the experience, however, they broaden their horizons, make new friends, and achieve more than they ever thought possible. And at the same time, they learn more about each other—and themselves—than they could have imagined.
