The Angry Birds [Blu-ray]

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

In the 3D animated comedy, The Angry Birds Movie, we’ll finally find out why the birds are so angry. The movie takes us to an island populated entirely by happy, flightless birds – or almost entirely. In this paradise, Red (Jason Sudeikis, We’re the Millers, Horrible Bosses), a bird with a temper problem, speedy Chuck (Josh Gad in his first animated role since Frozen), and the volatile Bomb (Danny McBride, This is the End, Eastbound and Down) have always been outsiders. But when the island is visited by mysterious green piggies, it’s up to these unlikely outcasts to figure out what the pigs are up to. Featuring a hilarious, all-star voice cast that includes Bill Hader (Trainwreck, Inside Out), Maya Rudolph (Bridesmaids, Sisters), and Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones), as well as Kate McKinnon (Saturday Night Live, Ghostbusters), Keegan-Michael Key (Key & Peele), Tony Hale (Veep, Arrested Development), Tituss Burgess (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt), Ike Barinholtz (Neighbors, Sisters), … – Sony Pictures Entertainment

Having never played the app/game, it was going to be interesting to see whether ‘The Angry Birds Movie’ was going to make something interesting out of it and how it was going to be succeed.

‘The Angry Birds Movie’ is not perfect, but this reviewer was really surprised at how much she enjoyed it. There are better animated films out there and there were better released this year (i.e. ‘Zootropolis’ aka ‘Zootopia’ in some places), but also far worse on both counts. From the two animated films seen recently at the cinema, ‘The Angry Birds Movie’ is the superior film of the two. The other was ‘Ratchet & Clank’, which is not as bad as critics made out (personal opinion of course) and could have been much worse considering video game adaptations’ dubious track record, but also had too many flaws to be considered a good film.-TheLittleSongbird
