Synopsis: Bird island is an island full of happy, flightless birds but not all of them are happy. Red has anger issues, so he was sentenced to anger management class, hoping to fix his issues. There he meets Chuck, a speedy bird and Bomb, a bird who blows up (literally!) But a mysterious ship full of green piggies arrived on the island and offered their friendship but Red, becoming suspicious, tried to tell everyone that these pigs are up to no good but they refused to listen. He was proven right when the pigs stole all the eggs and they must travel to Piggy Island to get them back.

 

The Review: This animated film based on the iconic game is filled with colorful birds, hilarious pigs, porky humor (get it?), references and some inappropriate moments (like the mighty eagle going wee wee in the lake Chuck and Bomb just swam in). Josh Gad stood out as Chuck. The first half is fun while the climax and ending is ok. It has a meaningless message about how its okay to be angry. Love the fur and feathers though.
