Angryverse/The Angry Birds Movie 2

The Angry Birds Movie 2 (known as Angry Birds 2 in other countries or labeled The Angry Birds 2 Movie) is an animated film released by Sony Pictures Animation released in August 13, 2019 in the United States, with John Cohen returning as producer and directed by newcomer Thurop Van Orman. The story follows the Birds and Pigs forming a truce so that they stop Zeta from freezing their islands, while the Hatchlings go on an adventure to find the eggs.

While only eight of the original voice actors from the first movie return, yes you heard me right only eight people from the first movie came back. Most of the voice actors are newcomers to franchise, like Leslie Jones as Zeta, Brooklynn Prince as Zoe and Awkwafina as Courtney.

Despite this movie being critically acclaimed compared to the first movie, it was not only a disappointment from box office numbers but also a disappointment from most Angry Birds fans as well.

Plot
Three years after the events of the first film, Bird Island and Piggy Island is rebuilt and the Birds and Pigs are in constant prank war against each other by throwing pies, hot sauce and even dropping crabs onto everyone. Eventually, Leonard and his new assistant Courtney discovers an ice ball that landed on Piggy Island and deduct that it didn't come from Bird Island, but a new island called, Eagle Island led by Zeta.

As Red, Chuck, and Bomb are cleaning up the beach, a letter comes from a balloon sent by Leonard claiming that they want to begin a truce with the birds, but Red thinks it's all a big scam. In order to celebrate, Chuck and Bomb force Red to attend a speed dating event hosted by Pinky and storms off thanks in part to a bug-eyed bird who asked him about his issues.

Leonard makes an unexpected arrival to Red's House showing Red some photos of Eagle Island thanks in part to some drones spying on Zeta, who has a distain about her frozen surroundings and plans to turn both islands into a waters park. Red agrees to the mission and recruits his friends Bomb, Chuck and protector of Bird Island, Mighty Eagle. Chuck recruits his sister, the bug-eyed bird Red met earlier, Silver. They meet up in The Eagle's Den to figure out a way to get inside the "Super Weapon" as Red calls it, but Silver suggests to find a way inside the island if they had a map, which luckily they do. Their celebration is cut short however as an ice ball fires at them and nearly escapes but both the map and Mighty Eagle's mountain is destroyed.

Zeta is wondering why most of the Bird Island residents aren't in fear, so she suggests Glenn to come up with a way to put molten lava inside the ice ball, which he states is impossible but Zeta makes him do it or else he will be "educated" like Steve. Despite the odds, the Mission Flock goes to Eagle Island accompanied by Garry and his inventions; the Eagle Detector, Invisa-Spray and Pig Snot.

Meanwhile, Zoe, ViVi and Sam-Sam play an abridged version of Red vs. the Pigs, using Zoe's sisters as eggs at a beach, however the eggs drift out to sea by accident, so they set out to retrieve them, only for a whale blows them into a cloud. They eventually managed to get them down after forcefully inflating Zoe into the air, and eventually into space. However, the three hatchlings land on a small island, where a Boa Constrictor is holding the eggs. They somehow defeat her, by wearing snake skin and drifts back to Bird Island, but they arrive at Piggy Island by mistake where they’re greeted by three Piglets and led them back home.

Once the Mission Flock arrived to Eagle Island, Mighty Eagle immediately quit the mission because he confessed that Zeta was his ex-fiancée and ran way because he was a coward, but everybody knew that to begin with. After another disagreement with his fellow comrades, the Mission Flock decides to split up into two teams: Red climbing up to the Super Weapon, with Silver tagging along much to Red's dismay, and eventually got caught by Hank due to Red's incompetency. Meanwhile the others disguise themselves as "Harvey" and got inside through the easiest way in, the door, managed to grab a key card from an Eagle taking a pee-pee, and distracted the eagle guards by accidentally starting a breakdance battle against Axel.

As Red and Silver are confined in ice, Zeta tells them her plan and Red realizes that he was putting himself first instead of others because he's afraid of not being liked if he's no longer a hero. After she leaves to start the countdown, Silver frees them both using her crests and reunites with the team. Seeing the mistake that he made, Red decides to give leadership to Silver, who establishes a plan to destroy the weapon by putting herself and Red inside an ice ball which then Leonard, Courtney and Garry would lift a ramp which will fly them up to destroy the Super Weapon while Chuck and Bomb distracting the Eagle guards. It goes all according to plan, but it didn't destroy the weapon.

Mighty Eagle comes swooping in to fix the mistake that he did 20 years ago and asks Zeta to reconcile their relationship. This makes her even more frustrated as she reveals to "Ethan" that after he turned her down, Zeta raised a daughter named Debbie and denied his apology since her heart was ice cold. While she was talking to her old flame, Chuck ties up the Super Weapon with Silver's super string invention, along with the combined efforts of the Hatchlings and the Piglets and destroys the Super Weapon.

Everyone escapes and Mighty Eagle protects Debbie from being crushed by a metal plate. This was enough to prove to Zeta that he still cares for her and thus gets married at Bird Island. Everyone then cheers Red for saving the islands, but he reveals to them all that Silver and the team deserves the real credit instead of him, complete with Garry revealing the recently constructed Hero Mountain to congratulate them. Red's surprised to learn that he is beloved even more now because of his honesty. As such, they all celebrate and Red and Silver are atop Hero Mountain to start a relationship with each other, before they get interrupted by Chuck.

The next day, The hatchlings discover that the Eggs that they took were the Snake's eggs instead of Zoe's sisters. The Snake Mother comes back to get her babies back and trades them for Zoe's recently hatched siblings, before they'd go adrift again at sea.

Continuity Notes

 * Established in the first film, Terence and Matilda is in a romantic relationship, and in this film it was revealed that they are married and have kids.

Errors
This movie is infamously known for the continuity errors from the first movie:
 * Betty and Alex (from the Father's Day advertisement) are presented as the parents of The Blues, instead of Greg and Olive from Angry Birds Blues and was even established from the first film!! Why haven't they fired the person responsible to this!!!
 * Not to mention that now The Blues now have 5 siblings.
 * On top of that, Jay has a blue floof on his head even though in the first film and even in Angry Birds Blues, he had his hairstyle be like all of the other blues, which were game accurate.
 * Jay is presented as a girl instead of a boy, which led to some fans question this decisions.
 * Most of the generics from the first film have different roles/jobs than the first film, For example, Bob Wingman is now the teacher at Red J. Bird Elementary School instead of being the owner of the Early Bird's Worms stand, or the Late Riser Bird being now a waiter, instead of the owner of the Late Riser Worms Stand.

Animation Errors:

 * During one shot, Stella's eyes are green instead of Blue.
