Line #17 YMMV/TheAngryBirdsMovie


1	----
2	* AccidentalAesop: If someone new comes to your land, they're probably thieves who are going to steal your children.
3	* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation:
4	** [[spoiler: Did Mighty Eagle ''really'' pull a TricksterMentor routine on Red, Chuck and Bomb? Or was he lying in an effort to make himself look good? It warrants noting that Red doesn't believe the claim for a second.]]
5	** Did Red decide to search the pigs' ship out of legitimate suspicion and concern for Bird Island, or was he trying to find any incriminating evidence to get back at the pigs for destroying his home?
6	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic:
7	** Several of the score pieces: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nssyyXOS3c8 "Red on the Run"]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJciBWpregg "Birthday Party"]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElxyCi4hRPE "Ready, Aim, Fire!"]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q12nOJwgqSY "I Used to Believe in You"]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEsvp_uXc7o "Risky Idea"]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1b79w5Rou70 "We Want Eggs!"]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11DY0R4ZhsU "Nothing Like a Statue"]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2hqyiESTeM "Home Tweet Home"]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPuLmafQMWk "Roomies"]].
8	** As for existing songs that appeared in the film, we have:
9	*** "Friends" by Music/BlakeShelton, the film’s ThemeSong that is both fun and sweet. Sadly, the pigs’s friendship with the birds was nothing but BlatantLies.
10	*** "Paranoid" by Music/BlackSabbath, a great heavy metal song that plays during Red’s anger montage in the beginning.
11	*** "Rock You Like A Hurricane" by Music/{{Scorpions}}, (despite the questionable choice of including an IntercourseWithYou song in a family movie) is an awesome rock anthem that plays during Chuck and Bomb’s ImagineSpot about the Mighty Eagle.
12	*** "I’m On Top Of The World" by Music/ImagineDragons, a fun pop-rock which plays when the pigs return to their island with the eggs.
13	*** "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor, covered by Demi Levato which plays during the DancePartyEnding and fits nearly perfectly.
14	* BaseBreakingCharacter: Is Red a JerkassWoobie or DesignatedHero? In the former case the argument how [[JerkassHasAPoint he's right on many topics, especially pigs]], while in the latter the argument how [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse Red's past and him being an outcast doesn't excuse him being a jerk to other birds]].
15	* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The rather out-of-place ShoutOut to the Grady Twins from ''Film/TheShining'' when Red opens one of the door in Leonard's castle.
16	-->'''Pigs:''' ''[[SdrawkcabSpeech Redrum]]...''
17	-->'''Red:''' [[{{Understatement}} Uh, nevermind]].
18	* BrokenBase: The typically limbless birds and pigs suddenly gaining arms and legs for the movie has ''Angry Birds'' fans and non-fans alike divided over whether or not the designs work or if the characters with arms/wings and legs was something man was not meant to see.
19	* ClicheStorm: Let's see. The protagonist is an orphaned outcast who sees a possible threat when the Pigs visits Bird Island and tries to warn everyone but no one believes him because everyone is oblivious while his biggest hero turns out to be a lazy slug (even if the whole thing was meant to be a SecretTestOfCharacter), The visitors betrays the birds and they steal their eggs, the bird community chooses the protagonist as their leader when they realize he was right all along and after the final battle, everyone thinks the protagonist dies, but it turns out he's alive. And let's not forget about the DancePartyEnding.
20	* ComedyGhetto: The films' emphasis on comedy is one of the most oft-cited reasons for its divisiveness, since [[{{Tearjerker}} emotional]] animated films like ''WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/FindingDory'' were more popular at the time.
21	* CommonKnowledge: Many people assumes that Leonard is King Pig Smooth Cheeks' movie counterpart like everyone else in the film and that he got AdaptationNameChange. This is not the case. Yes, they are both kings, but not the same character. This became very noticeable once Leonard [[CanonImmigrant started appearing in games]] like ''VideoGame/AngryBirds2'', giving to understand that Leonard and Smooth Cheeks are completely different characters.
22	* CriticalDissonance: While reception for the film was mixed in its entirety, audience reception still leaned more in the positive direction.
23	* CrossesTheLineTwice: Oh, where to even begin?
24	** Red landing headfirst in an egg and saying, "Congratulations, it’s a boy!" This crosses the line enough on its own, but as WebVideo/CinemaSins said, it’s the bird-equivalent to [[{{Squick}} falling headfirst into a pregnant woman’s vagina]].
25	** During the anger management scene, Matilda said that Chuck used his speed to take a police officer’s credit card, trash his office, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking buy everyone drinks at the coffee shop]], and drip melted ice cream onto him. It’s funny enough on it’s own, but it gets even more hilarious when Chuck says it [[BirdPoopGag probably wasn’t ice cream]].
26	** In the same scene, Matilda reading Terence’s… [[NoodleIncident previous incident]], which involves police sirens blaring, crashing noises, and a woman screaming is [[BlackComedy darkly hilarious]], and it’s made even better when he simply gives the camera a SlasherSmile shortly after.
27	** When Red, Chuck, and Bomb get to the top of the mountain, it’s revealed to be the wrong mountain, so Bomb [[DrivenToSuicide attempts to jump off said mountain]].
28	** Bomb and Chuck gargling the water from the Lake of Wisdom, spitting it back and forth, and eventually swallowing it: {{Squick}}. Then Mighty Eagle [[ToiletHumor takes a leak in said lake]], at which point it becomes hilarious, especially due to Chuck and Bomb’s faces after seeing [[IAteWhat what they just drank]], (and perhaps then goes right back to {{Squick}}).
29	** Whenever the birds were trying to figure out how to get their eggs back, Chuck suggested that they replace the kids, which is pretty coldhearted. But when he says "Ladies, get ''BU-SY!'' We're gonna be laying some eggs tonight!" while thrusting his pelvic, ''that’s'' when it’s funny. It’s absolutely hysterical that a [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids PG-rated]] movie about ''Franchise/AngryBirds'' got away with this joke.
30	* DesignatedHero: Red is interestingly a [[ZigZaggingTrope back-and-forth example]] of this. The first scene and the jury show him clearly mistreated and isolated from the others, providing also a sad background of him being bullied and having no parents. That said, he is shown acting like a complete JerkAss both around Matilda (who, unlike the judge, is ''not'' treating him unfairly) and the others, who are outcasts just like him, and defies every one of their attempts to befriend him (albeit in a polite manner). When the pigs come, he gets immediately antagonizing due to a wrong-doing. He ''is'' right about the fact that they destroyed his house (although unwillingly), and no one is offering to help repair it; however, he did something similar by destroying the puppet Chuck made (willingly), and he never offers to Chuck any help. Chuck even lampshades the analogy, and that goes over his head (though to be fair, Chuck does drop the whole thing with his puppet and later him and others after his "funeral" step on the puppet without second, and also Red does apologize in a DeletedScene at the banquet). Then he spends a good chunk of the movie being antagonistic toward the pigs due to this personal wrongdoing and pointing every single difference between them as ominous. After his meeting with Mighty Eagle, however, he steps into a decidely heroic role, becoming TheLeader for the birds as a whole, facing personally the pigs to retrieve the eggs and risking his life to recover the one egg that Mighty Eagle doesn't recover.
31	* EnsembleDarkhorse:
32	** The mime bird. "Oh my Gawwwww....”
33	** And possibly to a lesser extent, Willow (it helps that [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome this is one of her last appearances in the franchise]]).
34	* EpilepticTrees: "[[http://imgur.com/gallery/nfMe6KZ Angry Birds is anti-refugee propaganda]]".
35	* FanficFuel: What adventures Mighty Eagle had in his glory days?
36	* FridgeHorror:
37	** While the games and other media have often portrayed it as somewhat BlackComedy, the fact that these pigs are basically attempting to eat the unborn children of the birds (and they are definitely eggs that will hatch) is pretty unnerving.
38	** What was Terence [[NothingIsScarier incident]]?
39	** It's a heroic moment for Red, but when he knocks off Foreman Pig to get a pilot that controls net with eggs, it leads to mustached pig falling from the window, with no confirmation if he [[UncertainDoom survived that]].
40	** The pigs had to learn about existence of eggs from somewhere, since Leonard mentions that his father, grandfather and [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg his weird uncle Louie]] were searching for eggs but didn't managed to find them, implying that before events of the movie eggs were treated by pigs as {{MacGuffin}}s. This means that pigs managed to eat eggs in the past...
41	* HarsherInHindsight:
42	** The part where Bomb [[SuicideAsComedy tries to jump to his death]] becomes this after, in ''WesternAnimation/SausageParty'' (another film made by Sony that was released three months later), [[spoiler: Honey Mustard (who is voiced by Creator/DannyMcBride, the same actor as Bomb) was successful in his attempt]].
43	** The whole thing with Red's anger management issues. ''{{Film/Colossal}}'' has Creator/JasonSudeikis, the voice of Red, as someone who's gone off the deep end with them.
44	** The scene where the Mighty Eagle takes off while playing "[[Music/RickAstley Never Gonna Give You Up]]" becomes this in the second movie when it is revealed [[spoiler: he did in fact give up, let down, and desert Zeta and their daughter (though he was unaware of the second), which may have led to the former’s StartOfDarkness.]]
45	*** Similarly, the scene where he uses binoculars to [[ThePeepingTom spy on an old lady in a bathtub]] becomes this because of Zeta, [[spoiler:and PsychoExGirlfriend doesn’t even begin to describe her.]]
46	* HeartwarmingInHindsight: While Leonard initially use his vision of the friendship between the birds and the pigs as a decoy to steal the eggs, [[spoiler: it does eventually happen in [[WesternAnimation/TheAngryBirdsMovie2 the sequel]] after both sides' successful team-up against the greater forces. No string attached as well]].
47	* HilariousInHindsight:
48	** Chuck being depicted as AmbiguouslyBi, if you know about Creator/JoshGad's next role in ''Film/BeautyAndTheBeast2017''.
49	** Creator/KateMcKinnon voiced Stella in this movie and would later [[Film/Ghostbusters2016 become a Ghostbuster]]. Her co-star in the 2016 ''Ghostbusters'' movie, Creator/LeslieJones would later [[WesternAnimation/TheAngryBirdsMovie2 become an Angry Bird in the sequel]].
50	*** Similarly, Creator/MckennaGrace, who voiced one of Red's classmates during two flashback sequences, would ''also'' [[Film/GhostbustersAfterlife become a Ghostbuster]] herself five years later.
51	** The painting that Red made of him slingshotting Leonard away became funnier in retrospect thanks to ''VideoGame/AngryBirds2'' and ''Angry Birds Reloaded'' which features Leonard as one of the playable characters.
52	* JerkassWoobie: Red. While he is a short-tempered introvert, the fact that he's shunned and ignored by the other birds in the community (save for a few) and having grown up with no family, it actually makes ''perfect'' sense ''why'' he's so short-tempered and antisocial, and it's hard not to feel bad for him at certain points (especially the scenes in which Red losing his temper is totally justified).
53	* JerksAreWorseThanVillains: Despite Leonard being a character who literally EatsBabies, he can actually be quite an entertaining character due to his LargeHam ([[{{Pun}} heh]]) and AffablyEvil tendencies as well as being an [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass actual effective antagonist despite seeming like an idiot]]. Judge Peckinpah on the other hand is a bitter [[JerkassToOne Jerkass to Red and only Red]] just because he has anger issues, and encourages the other birds to look down on him for it. He even coldly tells Red in court that "Birds, they may smile at you on the street, [[KickTheDog but that doesn’t mean they like you]]." While the Pigs' attack on Bird Island [[BreakTheHaughty humbled him immensely]], it's still safe to say that nobody missed him when he [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome was completely absent]] from [[WesternAnimation/TheAngryBirdsMovie2 the sequel]] outside of making a small cameo on a painting in Red’s house.
54	* MemeticMutation:
55	** Mighty Eagle's BluntNo with triumphant {{Beat}} has become one recently.
56	** Matilda reading Terence’s card.
57	** Bomb's on his way. [[labelnote:Explanation]]This is Chuck's exclamation as Bomb launching himself toward the Pig's castle. Said castle often replaced with something else, such as [[BlackComedy the twin towers]] for example.[[/labelnote]]
58	** The entire "[[EpilepticTrees movie is an allegory to Europe's immigrant situation in 2010s]]" theory.
59	** "[[Music/KRSOne WOOP-WOOP THAT'S THE SOUND OF DA POLICE]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]The scene where Chuck is busted by a police officer for speeding has seen recent use whenever someone posts something potentially illegal online, with the police pointing to a stop sign to really tie it together.[[/labelnote]]
60	* {{Moe}}: The titular Hatchling from the ''The Hatchling and the Worm'' shorts. Likewise, any hatchlings shown in the film. Some fans find them adorable.
61	* NightmareFuel:
62	** Terence’s reason for being in Anger Management Class was so bad that they couldn’t show what he did. This is chilling enough, but the way it’s presented is even worse, as we get the [[SarcasmMode lovely]] sounds of women screaming along with police sirens. Also, Terence seems to be proud of this, as he gives us a SlasherSmile. It makes you wonder why Bird Island doesn’t have more severe punishments than Anger Management Class.
63	** The sheer fact that the pigs are okay with [[EatsBabies eating the bird’s eggs]], even after they learn that there are children inside those eggs.
64	** Film/TheShining parody scene is a bit unsettling and unexpected.
65	** The fact that Leonard wanted Red to be ''boiled alive'' alongside with eggs that the former tried to rescue.
66	* OlderThanTheyThink:
67	** Contrary to what fans who dislike the movie's character designs think, this isn't the first time that the Angry Birds and Bad Piggies have been depicted with limbs, as other ''Angry Birds'' media have already done that, such as the ''Super Angry Birds'' comics, the ''Agri Birds'' [[AprilFoolsDay April Fools]] trailer, and we can't forget the obvious ''VideoGame/AngryBirdsTransformers''.
68	** Likewise, this isn't the first time the Angry Birds and Bad Piggies speak, as they already did that in the comics.
69	** Leonard's last name, Mudbeard, ''predates'' the movie by three years, as it was first mentioned in ''The World of Angry Birds Official Guide'' book, released in 2013, stating that he is father of King Pig Smooth Cheeks.
70	** Judge Peckinpah wasn’t the first ''Angry Birds'' character to [[TotemPoleTrench stand on another character to make himself taller]]. The Bird-ified version of [[Franchise/StarWars Darth Vader]] did the same thing with '''two''' pigs back in VideoGame/AngryBirdsStarWars.
71	* QuestionableCasting: Downplayed with Terrence: while it's strange that ''Creator/SeanPenn'' was chosen to play him, seeing as he's TheQuietOne, Penn himself has has been known to have anger issues of his own, so the jokes work on another level.
72	* RetroactiveRecognition: One of the Blues is voices by Creator/NoahSchnapp, who would later go on to play Will Byers in ''Series/StrangerThings''.
73	* TheScrappy: Cyrus, the sneezing bird. Even by fans of the movie, he's often listed as one of the criticisms of it due to all of his humour being [[GrossOutShow sneezing]].
74	* SignatureScene:
75	** The scene where Mighty Eagle pees in the Lake of Wisdom is, for better or worse, one of the film's better remembered moments. Even Creator/RovioEntertainment seems to be aware of this, as it got a reference in a cutscene of ''Angry Birds Reloaded''.
76	** The FinalBattle where the birds use the iconic slingshot from the games. In particular, Red launching himself into Leonard's castle.
77	* SignatureSong: "Friends" by Music/BlakeShelton, "Red on the Run", "Leonard", "I Need Your Help" and "Risky Idea" (more specifically the part where Red launches himself into Leonard's castle).
78	* SoOkayItsAverage: The general consensus is along the lines of this, seeming to have a flaw for every good thing about the movie. [[VideoGameMoviesSuck As far as movies based on video games that were released]] before ''Film/{{Sonic the Hedgehog\|2020}}'' go, however, that's saying something.
79	* SugarWiki/SuperlativeDubbing: The Polish dub, which makes all jokes more funnier than original version, and even adds some new ones (such as Red saying at the banquet that pigs go completely naked because they have no feathers, with [[AmbiguouslyBi Chuck]] saying that he likes them for that).
80	* {{Squick}}: The "Lake of Wisdom" scene: Immediately after Bomb and Chuck drinking and swimming in the lake for a while, Mighty Eagle is shown urinating in the water for a long time, much to their horror alongside Red's exasperation.
81	* TheyCopiedItSoItSucks: The Mighty Eagle being washed-out and overweight after everyone looks up to has been criticized for being copied plot elements from ''WesternAnimation/SurfsUp'' where the Mighty Eagle is also a basically like "Big Z", [[TropesAreTools even though the trope has long existed before the said movie came out.]]
82	* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: The new style threw long time fans for a loop. Likewise most weren't keen on hearing the characters speak.
83	* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Stella, despite being one of the main characters in the franchise -- not to mention getting her own game with it's own story and characters -- and having the voice of Kate [=McKinnon=], is DemotedToExtra in the movie.
84	* TakeThatScrappy: For those disliking [[GrossOutShow Cyrus the sneezing bird]], seeing Red shoving his popcorn box on Cyrus face at the beginning of the film could make you cheer for our eyebrowed protagonist.
85	* TooBleakStoppedCaring: Even if Red is a jerk, it's very hard to sympathize with the bird community when (almost) everyone treats him like a moron.
86	* VideoGameMoviesSuck: A minor case. Though not necessarily bad, it has received mixed reviews from critics and has only a 73% on Rotten Tomatoes, with an average rating of a 5/10 (Which is ''still'' pretty high as far as video game movies go... or it was, before the release of ''Film/SonicTheHedgehog2020'').
87	* VindicatedByHistory: ''WesternAnimation/TheAngryBirdsMovie'' gathered middling reviews during its original release, around the time when its home series had long since peaked in popularity and the period where Main/VideoGameMoviesSuck was still strong in the consciousnesses. After a Main/SurprisinglyImprovedSequel and more well received video game adaptations in the 2020s, the film was revisited and became praised for how much of a strong comedy it was, now being considered one of the better video game movies prior to 2020 alongside its sequel.
88	* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: Despite the changes, one thing that was agreed that the film does look gorgeous.
89	* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: Other than the infamous "Lake Of Wisdom" scene, there are a lot of innuendo and sexual references that the film doesn't shy away from showing. There's also the expression of "Pluck My Life" which is the movie's way of getting away with saying, "Fuck My Life." The film definitely earns it's PG-rating.
90	* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotPolitical: It's about a technologically-advanced society that goes to another land and exploits the locals for their own amusement, so the movie is easy to read as either anti-immigration or at least anti-imperialism.

Context YMMV / TheAngryBirdsMovie
