The Mallard family is in a bit of rut. While dad Mack is content to keep his family safe paddling around their New England pond forever, mom Pam is eager to shake things up and show their kids—teen son Dax and duckling daughter Gwen—the whole wide world. After a migrating duck family alights on their pond with thrilling tales of far-flung places, Pam persuades Mack to embark on a family trip, via New York City, to tropical Jamaica.

As the Mallards make their way South for the winter, their well-laid plans quickly go awry. The experience will inspire them to expand their horizons, open themselves up to new friends and accomplish more than they ever thought possible, while teaching them more about each other—and themselves—than they ever imagined.

We see caveman like drawings on flat stones that scroll with the credits. The stones depict the whole movie from the beginning to the end. Then the drawings give an idea of want happens afterwards with the Yetis and people as they show the Yetis helping the people rebuild the town and Yetis enjoying activities with people (like skiing, etc).
Percy creates a video report on his smartphone (like he is doing selfie). He says “On the next episode of…..” then he rubs his check and says “wait, am I missing a tooth?”
While the rest of the credits are rolling, instead of stones scrolling with the credits, there are now smartphones. On the screen of the various smartphones that scroll, are pictures of the Yetis and people doing selfies. The last selfie is of Migo, Percy, and Meechee.
