Yellowbird is an orphan bird that has neither beautiful feathers nor the power of a falcon. He is scrawny, raggedy, and lives alone in a nest that he has never left. He would love so much to fly to Africa with a flock of friends! Yet one day, he gets a unique opportunity. He gathers all his courage and sets off on an adventure at whose end a winter retreat in Africa is waiting. Well, maybe. Yellowbird has never flown anywhere so he doesn't even know whether his beak is leading him North or South. But when you're looking for friendship and love, the journey is sometimes more important than the destination itself. So, spread your wings and enjoy the fairy-tale flight full of humour and ease from a bird's perspective. (Febiofest)

In the beginning, there was an egg. The egg just had the bad luck to roll away, so when the bird hatched out of it, there was hardly anyone around to take care of it. So, what would you expect would happen if a little skinny bird were looked after by a ladybug and a bunch of rabbits? As this children’s story shows, big things! I thought this was quite a nice children’s story with all the ingredients needed. It has nice visuals that kids will like, a nice soundtrack, and a straightforward and perhaps predictable narrative that even the little ones will understand. We have to add an appealing main male protagonist and some childish fun. Plus, there is even something for the moms; a love story. To sum it up, Yellowbird is a nice, easy-to-watch family movie, although it is nothing new or surprising in my opinion. Simply a nice and average modern fairy tale 5/10.

When something is popular in an animated movie, animation companies try to squeeze as much of it as possible. And because birds are currently flying, we encounter them everywhere. To avoid it being too blue, there is a yellow bird that is not very entertaining, but it's okay because it has blue friends. Oh well, another trap for parents' wallets.
