My main issue is that the movie was released seven years after the game was relevant, but it’s understandable considering the hard work it takes to create an animated film.

While it’s not as touching or has the replay value of Disney, Dreamworks, or Pixar animated movies, it’s still entertaining enough to bear in one sitting. In conclusion, The Angry Birds Movie is good enough for a kids’ movie. Overall, the studio does an excellent job taking the video game and turning it into a new, more complete world, giving personalities to once lifeless characters. It definitely has some interesting takes on male anger, and it’s the one thing I expected the least in the movie. However, voice acting and animation aren’t the only important ingredients in this mix, you also need an engaging story.įor The Angry Birds, they’ve kept the story simple but not to the point where it’s generic. The animation was great too, the character design is spot-on, and the vibrant color palette seems appealing enough for children. Maya Rudolph, Bill Hader, and Peter Dinklage round out an ensemble cast that is flawless. Josh Gad (Frozen’s Olaf) as Chuck and Danny McBride as Bomb were also excellent choices for their roles. We have Jason Sudeikis as Red, the film’s main angry bird.

They know the formula in making a smartphone game movie successful: an ensemble of popular actors and good animation. Surprisingly, The Angry Birds Movie does a lot of things right. And that money did pay off, the film ended up grossing $352 million worldwide.

Rovio and Sony Pictures also announced they would spend roughly $113 million for its marketing and distribution. The Angry Birds Movie has the largest budget in the film industry in Finland, with an estimated budget of $80 million.
