Synopsis :
Cornerstone is a place known for delivering babies and ironically, its employees are storks, along with other birds. However, the current CEO of cornerstone, a stork named Hunter, discontinues the baby delivering business; seeing more profit by converting the company to a postal service. However, the last baby that was made before the baby production shut down is taken in by the company and they name her Tulip.
Eighteen years later, Junior, Cornerstone’s top delivery stork, is about to be given his much coveted position as boss of Cornerstone while Hunter is about to be promoted as Chairman. Tulip, now a teenager, is working to promote new ideas for Cornerstone, like jet packs for flightless birds, but they always backfire. So Junior is ordered by Hunter to discharge Tulip from the company to be given his boss position. Despite wanting his promotion very badly, Junior cannot find the heart to fire Tulip due to her kindness and hard work; so he instead misleads her into believing that she is being transferred to mail business and sends her to the mail room, ordering her to never leave it.

Storks (2016) Hollywood Movie Review By The A.V. Club
This is a lot of plot for a movie that endeavors primarily to entertain children, though the excess is more likely to give adults a headache.

Storks (2016) Hollywood Movie Review By Variety
In Storks, the jokes fall flat, but the pace is relentless, and those two things seem somehow intertwined, as if the filmmakers had convinced themselves that comedy that whips by fast enough won’t go thud.

Storks (2016) Hollywood Movie Review By TheWrap
Storks continually surprises with characters who are more complicated than we might expect in a kid’s animated movie, and a refusal to hit every single pre-programmed plot beat.

Storks (2016) Hollywood Movie Review By Entertainment Weekly
There’s a delightfully madcap pace to Storks, and most of the rapid-fire jokes land, whether our heroes are running from a frenzied wolf pack who keep transforming themselves into suspension bridges and submarines, or silently battling a sinister penguin gang to avoid waking a sleeping baby. Less interesting is a subplot about the kid’s intended family, an overworked couple (Jennifer Aniston and Ty Burrell) who largely ignore their existing son. Add in Tulip’s quest to find her own family, and an annoying, bro-ish pigeon antagonist (Stephen Kramer Glickman), and Storks starts to feel a little stuffed. Still, the film’s lesson about finding your family never comes off as saccharine, and although there’s nothing particularly innovative about its message, Storks is a little bundle of joy.

Storks (2016) Hollywood Movie Review By Common Sense Media
Storks is a hurricane of nonstop cartoon action, gags, and goofiness mixed with emotional sophistication that will appeal to both the young target audience and the adult sherpas who guide them safely to the theaters. That sense of protectiveness of our young is exactly the bell this movie sets out to ring, and it does so with intelligence, wit, and the right dose of silliness. Glaringly absent is any pretentiousness or condescension, and that’s good news for both kids and parents. Samberg, Grammer, and Crown’s voice talents are perfectly encouraged by co-directors Nicholas Stoller and Doug Sweetland.

Storks (2016) Hollywood Movie Review By IGN
Storks may or may not be too scared to acknowledge the meaningful nature of its plot. Its poppy, lyrical soundtrack overwhelms and forces audiences to feel what the film won’t feel itself. Though it has its moments, Storks may not be the movie to run out and see this weekend.

Storks (2016) Hollywood Movie Review By Rogerebert.com
“Storks” also benefits from the fact that Stoller amassed his actors together as often as possible and let them improvise in person—a rarity in animation filmmaking. Totally unsurprisingly, longtime collaborators Key and Peele share a great chemistry with each other. But Samberg and Crown also enjoy some lively, snappy banter—he’s goofy and overconfident, she’s perky and neurotic—as do Burrell and Aniston in just a few scenes.
