It is simple and straightforward in its humour, except for the bits where you know it is meant for the adults (like all cartoons, right? Cartoons are for adults, in reality), and the storyline is not overly complicated. Angry Birds set out to make a movie about angry birds that was entertaining and funny, and they did it – so well, that at some point, you’re not even sure who you’re rooting for anymore.

Red is an angry bird in a sea full of happy ones – or rather, on an island filled with them. Because he has anger management issues, he is sentenced to anger management classes where his unfriendly spirit is worn down when he needs the help of unlikely allies in his fight against pigs who he thinks are trying to take over their home.
