Yes, I acknowledge that this is the world where storks deliver babies so things are going to be weird but given it's heavily implied babies happen other ways as well the result is it's rather hard for me to process what actually constitutes normal in this film's universe. To put it another way, if the film always worked on Looney Tons physics as this is a WB film that would be appropriate enough that would have been fine but when characters who themselves are using those kinds of rules react in shock when other characters start using similar rules it's hard to know what's expected.
The voice work is pretty good. Kelsey Grammar can probably play a commanding boss-type in his sleep now so that was pretty much perfect. Andy Samberg's stock and Katie Crown's Tulip the now teenage orphan the storks were raising serve well as the main protagonists with their emotional scenes overcoming their aforementioned near constant yammering. The animation while not quite up to the best of Disney/Pixar or even DreamWorks is still pretty good looking. It's a stylistic choice to not look quite real and for what this film sets out to do it fits. Making it look more real would not have worked. So while I don't think this is destined to be a classic by any means it's certainly mostly harmless.
