Storks deliver babies…or at least they used to. Now they deliver packages for a global internet retail giant. Junior (Andy Samberg), the company’s top delivery stork, is about to be promoted when he accidentally activates the Baby Making
Machine, producing an adorable, and wholly unauthorized, baby girl.
Desperate to deliver this bundle of trouble before the boss gets wise, Junior and his friend Tulip, the only human on Stork Mountain, race to make their first-ever baby drop – in a wild and revealing journey that could make more than
one family whole and restore the storks’ true mission in the world.

SARAH and HENRY (Jennifer Aniston and Ty Burrell)
Human parents Sarah and Henry are always super-busy with the real estate company they run from their home. They love their young son, Nate, more than anything, but they’re so often distracted by calls and taking care of clients that
it’s hard to spend time with him. When Nate asks for a baby brother to play with, they don’t think he’s serious at first. But when he takes matters into his own hands by sending a letter to Stork Mountain, it will change their
lives completely.
HUNTER (Kelsey Grammer)
Hunter is a ruthless CEO who places money and power above all else. No fan of babies, he re-branded the storks’ business model 18 years ago to get out of infant-delivery – now, they deliver packages for a global internet retail giant
instead. When Hunter isn’t basking in his personal sauna, he’s riding in his helicopter or surveying his domain through windows that his employees often crash into because birds can’t see glass.
Junior (Andy Samberg)
The star delivery stork, Junior is confident and ambitious, and lives by the company motto “Always Deliver.” But just when he’s about to land a big promotion and everything he’s ever wanted, Tulip’s latest disaster threatens to ruin
everything. Junior has to fix it – and fix it fast – before the boss finds out. Setting out with Tulip on the most important delivery of his career, Junior meets challenges and makes discoveries he’s never thought about before,
and begins to wonder whether there might be more to life than just grabbing the next rung on the corporate ladder.
NATE (Anton Starkman)
Nate is smart, loveable and full of energy. Like any kid, he just wants someone to hang out and have fun with. But, as an only child, all he has are his parents, and they’re always too busy or too tired to play. Discovering an old
pamphlet in the attic, from the days when storks delivered babies, he sends in his request for a little brother -- with ninja skills, of course. And while his parents insist that storks don’t do that sort of thing anymore, Nate
never stops believing they will bring him what he wants most.
Pigeon Toady (Stephen Glickman)
As a pigeon, Toady is a bit of an outcast at Stork Mountain. Though he acts like he doesn’t care, fitting in is all he really wants, but his quest for admiration often finds him trying to make friends in the worst ways. Toady is
also a spy and a snitch. Nothing makes him happier than ratting out a co-worker, especially if it scores points with the boss, and he should absolutely, positively, NEVER be trusted with a secret. He knows something is up with
Junior’s special delivery and he’s not going to rest until he figures out what it is.
TULIP (Katie Crown)
Eighteen-year-old Tulip is the only human on Stork Mountain. Though she never quite fits in with her feathered colleagues, she loves her job at the storks’ package delivery service and always tries her best to help. Unfortunately,
Tulip’s bright enthusiasm and positive attitude is matched only by her uncanny ability to screw things up so badly that everything she does leads to disaster. It’s not till Junior needs her help with a very special delivery that
Tulip’s true talents have a chance to emerge.
The Wolves (Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele)
They may look like ordinary wolves, but this pack is full of surprises. Years of teamwork have taught them to do amazing things like transform themselves into all kinds of useful objects, from bridges and cars to submarines. And
even though Alpha Wolf #1 and Alpha Wolf #2 argue about everything, including with which one is top dog of this outfit, they do agree on one thing: they want the package Junior and Tulip are delivering and they’ll do anything to
get their paws on it.
