You’ve played the video game and installed the smart phone app and now its movie incarnation is set to fly east to Hong Kong for the spring. Yes, it’sAngry Birds and this latest manifestation is an American-Finnish 3D computer-animated, action-adventure comedy film, all based around the theme of the original game that proved so addictive all those years ago. The animation comes courtesy of Sony Picture’s Imageworks, while the movie has been ably directed by Clay Kaytis and Fergal Reilly and, with production duties falling to John Cohen and Catherine Winder.
The action all takes place on an island paradise populated by a colony of happy-go-lucky flightless birds, with the exception of angry Red (Jason Sudeikis), speedy Chuck (Josh Gad) and volatile Bomb (Danny McBride), all of whom suffer from apparent temper issues. When the island is suddenly invaded by a group of mysterious green pigs – led by Leonard (Bill Hader) – these unlikely outcasts come together to investigate what these pesky porkers are really up to. All sorts of shenanigans ensue as these sultry feathered fowl try to check out the porcine peccadillos that have “hambushed” their island paradise.
