Angry Birds Fantastic Adventures (usually abbreviated as ABFA) is a toy-machinima series based on the Angry Birds franchise made by Rovio, created by GerardtheRedBird
on YouTube back in 2015. The series follows, well, the fantastic adventures of the Angry Birds as it tells the tale of Red and his flock going on adventures like saving the eggs from the Bad Piggies or having a relaxing day with no tension.

Not to be confused with Angry Birds Craptastic Adventures.
This fantastic series contains the following tropes:
- Adaptational Context Change: Chef Pig sending Piggy McCool to infiltrate the flock in order to gain their trust is flipped on its head. In his debut episode in Angry Birds Toons, it's the usual "steal the Eggs under the Birds' noses" plot. In the episode "Fan Friction," he gathers information on the Angry Birds along with their DNA.
- Adaptational Intelligence: In the series, Hal is portrayed as the scientist of Red's flock who studies things in his lab.
- Adaptation Personality Change: Hambo from Angry Birds Toons, was a Literal-Minded Elite Mook. In Angry Birds Fantastic Adventures, he's more focused on gaining vengeance on the Angry Birds for killing his loved ones.
- Arc Villain: For the second half of Season 4, Chef Pig takes the helm in the Reign of Terror Arc after deposing King Pig as ruler of the Bad Piggies.
- Awesome Aussie: Hal is given an Australian accent in this series and is just as much of a force to be reckoned with as the rest of the flock.
- Catchphrase: "Angry Birds, it's time to get angry!" for Red.
- Composite Character: While Silver takes many cues from her Angry Birds 2 self, mainly being raised by pigs and taking most of their quirks, she also takes a few from her movie counterpart, mainly her knowledge in science.
- Decomposite Character: Prince Porky can be viewed as an alternate version of Ross in Angry Birds Epic who happens to be related to King Pig, when he was introduced in the series, he effectively exists in the same plane as Ross (due to already being introduced beforehand).
- Expy: Corporal Pig has taken some character traits from Team Fortress 2's Soldier, mainly calling others (mainly the Minion Pigs) "maggots" and his militaristic patriotic drive.
- Named In The Adaptation:
- The Ice Bird from Angry Birds Space is given no name, but this series lets him go by "Isaac".
- In the same vein as Isaac, the Hockey Bird isn't referred to by any name, but he's called "Ollie" in this series.
- Related in the Adaptation: While Silver's still raised by the pigs, in this series, she's closest to Professor Pig, outright calling him "dad" and the professor calling her "my daughter" at times.
- Stylistic Suck: Mainly due to the series having its setpieces and characters illustrated through toys, with some scenes playing out almost like a kid playing with their toys, it is downplayed in later seasons but the suck still sticks.
- Ultimate Universe: The series tries to tie all aspects of the Angryverse together, incorporating most Angry Birds media in the story, from the games (the conflict of the birds and pigs over the eggs) to the cartoons (some characters having their Toons personalities) and movies (Bird Island being a thing along with how Red met Chuck, Bomb, Matilda, and Terence), even some obscure stuff like prototype and beta designs of the Angry Birds (like Red and Chuck's prototype designs ending up receiving the Decomposite Character treatment).
