Storks is een nieuwe CGI Animatie film waar in een bedrijf (Storks) van het bezorgen van Babies nu over is gegaan op pakjes. Maar wanneer er vraag is voor een baby zijn hun de aangewezen persoon voor de taak, alleen gaat er van alles mis en komt de baby niet op zijn plek terecht en dat is het begin van een groots avontuur. De website Collider had een interview met Nicholas Stoller & Dough Sweetland over deze film en daar van kan je hier onder alvast een klein stukje lezen. Storks draait ondertussen al in de Nederlandse bioscopen.

Collider: This is a very cute film that's also really funny, but it also touches on the importance of family and finding somewhere you belong. Nick, when you sat down to write this, were there any themes that you set out looking to explore?

NICHOLAS STOLLER: All of the things I've directed, I'm really emotionally close to. That's why I choose to direct them and spend years on them. When I write something, it's usually 'cause I think it's funny or I have a way in, but when I direct something, I really need to be close to it. For my wife and I, our first child was really easy to have, but our second one was really hard to have. We had to go to a lot of fertility clinics and do that whole thing. So, the movie really came from that experience, in terms of the emotional underpinning of it. And then, the premise of storks that used to deliver babies, but now essentially deliver for Amazon, is a funny premise to overlay this emotional thing. It ended up being a love letter to family and how families come in all different shapes and sizes, and how there are all different kinds of families.

DOUG SWEETLAND: For me, I really related to this question of what happens when you are really career-minded, and then you suddenly have a kid, which is a big, important responsibility that divides your time.
