The Angry Birds Movie (series)

The Angry Birds Movies are films made by Sony Pictures Animation and Rovio Entertainment Corporation, The Angry Birds Movie was premiered in 2016 and its sequel, The Angry Birds Movie 2, premiered in 2019.

There are some changes to the original Angry Birds series in the movie, with the most infamous being the redesigns of the birds and pigs. Other changes include the birds' home being changed from Piggy Island to the new Bird Island, how Bubbles has been changed from a young child (only being able to communicate with childlike babble in books) with a knack for candy to an adult who doesn't care about confectionary, the complete reform of Silver's character, and the straight-up removal of some of the pigs, most notably King Pig, who has been replaced by his father, Leonard. Many of these changes would be applied to the games, specifically Bird Island.

The Angry Birds Movie
The first film in the series. Red is a grumpy bird on Bird Island, an island populated by entirely happy, flightless birds who don't have any knowledge of the outside world. Red's grumpiness has made him lonely outcast, and one incident of his anger got him sentenced to Anger Management Class. The class is run by Matilda and it contains Chuck, Bomb, and Terence, all of which being characters from the original Angry Birds franchise. However, when a group of pigs led by Leonard visit Bird Island to seemingly to create an alliance with the birds, Red has great suspicions, as they destroyed his house. Red, Chuck, and Bomb team up to find out what the pigs are really up to, and they also try to get the legendary Mighty Eagle to help.

The Angry Birds Movie first premiered in theatres on May 7, 2016. It received mixed reviews from critics but did very well at the box office, grossing $352.3 million at the box office at a budget of $73 million.

The Angry Birds Movie 2
The second film in the series, it starts with the birds and pigs continuing their battles through pranks. Red became a hero along with Chuck and Bomb due to their efforts in the Battle of Pig City. However, when Leonard discovers a frosty third island led by frustrated Eagle Zeta, who wants to colonise Bird and Piggy Island and make them her own perfect vacation spots, he starts a truce with the birds to try and stop this new threat. Red initially does not trust Leonard but he is eventually persuaded to team up with the pigs. They recruit Bomb, Chuck, Mighty Eagle, and newcomer Silver, Chuck's sister. They set out to infiltrate the new Eagle Island and stop Zeta's plans.

The Angry Birds Movie 2 first premiered in theatres on August 2, 2019, celebrating the tenth anniversary of the series early. Despite receiving mixed to positive reviews from critics, it didn't do very well at the box office, only grossing $154 million on a budget of $65 million.

The Angry Birds Movie 3
In a now edited article post on the Minecraft website, the author mentions that a sequel is releasing in the summer of 2022, however it deleted due to a mistake in the release date because season two of both Angry Birds: Summer Madness and Angry Birds MakerSpace were released that summer but the possibility of the sequel is not denied.

According to Alexandre Pelletier-Normand in an interview with the Angry Birds Network Twitter account on Discord, Rovio are working on plans for The Angry Birds Movie 3.

Bubbles Twitter gags
There were gags by John Cohen, producer of the first and second film via Twitter on August 23, 2019 said "His name is Bubbles - and he will be back." to a tweet of Hal being in The Angry Birds Movie 2. Ian Hecox replied to John's tweet with a "eyes emoji" possibly referencing his role as Bubbles.

Trivia

 * Luca is the only recurring bird who did not appear in either movie. Considering that The Blues are newborns in the films, Luca likely hadn't even hatched in the first film yet.
 * The films seem to use an outdated version of the Angry Birds continuity, as despite being one of the first pieces of Angry Birds multi-medias to start production, many newer facts had been confirmed about the series before its release. Aside from the ones listed above, here are a few instances of retroactive continuity:
 * Despite the fact that the book The World of Angry Birds Official Guide states that King Pig's ancestors ate many eggs, Leonard in the first movie states that he was the first pig to even find eggs, debunking this.
 * The fact that the birds don't know anything outside their island (Chuck asks Red what is a pig and Stella says there is no other place than Bird Island when the pigs introduce themselves) doesn't make very much sense considering that Terence's cousin, Tony, comes from Finland and that characters from Angry Birds Stella, like Gale and Willow originate from Golden Island instead of Bird Island.
 * However, in May 2022, the Angryverse was announced featuring different Angry Birds universes which have some differences such as in the Dream universe, the birds and pigs are babies and/or toddlers.
