Synopsis

Who doesn't know the legend that storks deliver babies? The storks were responsible for bringing babies to the lucky parents, but in more modern times it seems that this has already been done. The storks are now responsible for delivering Internet packages called Cornerstore.com. Junior, one of the storks of the company and one of the best messengers, is about to be promoted when a worker accidentally activates the making babies machine. Surprisingly, the stork witnesses the birth of a small and adorable little girl. A desperate Junior will have to find a way to deliver the human baby before they realise he made a mistake and that he can't continue his life as a messenger in the business. This animated film is produced by Warner Bros., which also produced the kids' movies 'The LEGO movie' and 'Happy Feet'. The characters are dubbed in the original version by the famous actors Andy Samberg, Jennifer Aniston, Ty Burrell, Kelsey Grammer, Keega-Michael Key and Jordan Peele.
