Migration from Migration

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before:

Helicopter parents absolutely, positively forbid the next generation from leaving the safe confines of home to brave the big scary world out there . . . only for their children to defy these sheltering wishes; adventure ensues!

Oh look, I just summarized basically every animated movie unloaded unto theaters nowadays, Migration being merely the latest.

Yes, it’s an Ur-narrative of intergenerational conflict . . . but there must be other options for stories about families, for families.
