The Angry Birds Movie (2016) is an animated action-comedy film based on the popular mobile game. It delves into the origin story of the conflict between the flightless birds of Bird Island and the green pigs. The narrative centers on Red, an outcast with anger management issues, whose cynical nature becomes instrumental when mysterious pigs arrive and threaten the birds' eggs. The movie follows Red, alongside his friends Chuck and Bomb, as they uncover the pigs' scheme and lead the birds in a retaliatory effort. Aimed at a family audience, particularly fans of the game, the film blends slapstick humor and cartoon violence with underlying themes of acceptance, friendship, and harnessing one's unique qualities for good.

Good to Know
The film received mixed reviews from critics but generally positive reception from audiences, scoring a 'B+' on CinemaScore.
