Exclusive interview with Danny DeVito

One of our favorite stars talks about flying, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and his new animated film "Migration". #k5evening

TACOMA, Wash — In "Migration" a family of mallards fly south for the winter...heading into all kinds of turbulent adventures along the way.

Danny DeVito is part of an all star cast providing voices.

"Danny," we said. "There's an awful lot of flying in this movie. What's your least favorite thing about flying?"

"You know what? It's odd but I like to fly," DeVito said. "If you hit a patch or bump and it's bumping like this? The plane is giving you that?"

Yeah we hate that.

"See that's like good," DeVito said. "You know because that is air. That's the plane hitting some air and that's what keeps you up."

We asked DeVito where those of us in the Northwest should migrate to during these winter months.

"I like Italy, man." DeVito said. "I've been to the southern part of Italy, like Positano and my family's from San Fele which is a little mountain town above Naples. That area is always lush. It's peaceful, pretty quiet. It's a nice place to take a dip in the water and lay in the sun."

We reminded DeVito of the fishing scene in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest scene, shot miles off the coast of Oregon nearly 50 years ago.

"We all got sick," DeVito said. "I wasn't a good sailor at that time on that boat. We went out three days, four days. Milos Foreman didn't want to see any land."

DeVito admits it's much easier on the stomach to lending a voice to animated ducks and letting them take all the risks.

"You go through trees," DeVito said. "You go through buildings. I don't know how I would fare in a situation like that."

"Migration" opens Friday December 22. The film is rated PG.
