The first animated film based on a game app of the smartphone generation, The Angry Birds Movie is made with those who had played the game in mind. Like most of us, if you are familiar with it, you will easily be entertained and know some references in the film. The creators upped up the prestige factor by casting some of the finest actors around to do the voice work. Jason Sudeikis is Red, the lead character: a red bird with some extreme anger issues that forced him to be isolated on Bird Island. Danny McBride is Bomb, the bird who detonates when mad, Josh Gad more popularly known as the voice of Olaf in Disney's blockbuster Frozen as the fast and speedy Chuck and just like in real life when he made the headlines because of his temper, two time Academy Award Winner Sean Penn is perfect as Terence, a big red bird with issues. Together the four bond together when Pigs visit the Island with suspicious intentions. Maya Rudolph, Bill Hader, Peter Dinklage and Keegan Michael-Key complete the outstanding voice ensemble which makes The Angry Birds Movie notches above other films based on video games.
The animation is gorgeous with color palettes blended perfectly well and the jokes are for all age demographics from the harmless to one or two that are as green as the pigs color.
The Angry Birds Movie exceeded my expectations and it is an hour and 40 minutes well spent with the family and friends.
