As Hollywood has continued to scour other forms of media for their ideas, video games have become a new refuge. As video games themselves have become more cinematic and story driven it makes sense that you may be able to make a good movie out of them. Games like Assassin’s Creed and Warcraft will be making their bow in 2016, but they’ll be accompanied by a strange bedfellow, the Angry Birds.
The Angry Birds Movie is the latest movie distributed by Sony’s animation division, the studio behind Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, which was a surprisingly good film that took a children’s book that didn’t have much of a plot, and built a compelling story without losing any of the components that made the original unique. Now, they will try to make lightning strike twice when they take one of the simplest games on the market, with essentially no plot whatever, and do their best to turn it into an equally good feature film. Will they do it? We will discover the answer when The Angry Birds Movie hits theaters this summer. Here’s everything we know so far about the movie.
The Story
The movie will take place on an island inhabited entirely by flightless birds. All of the birds you recognize from the game, and several new editions, live together in this home. Not all the birds are so angry, though. In fact, only the three lead characters of Red, Chuck, and Bomb are undergoing anger management courses. The rest of the birds are very friendly and accommodating. So much so that when a shipful of pigs invades the island, the rest of the birds welcome them with open arms. Only our three Angry Birds suspect that there might be something going on. As we’ve played the game, we assume it has something to do with pigs trying to get their hands on eggs. We also know that when the pigs arrive they will bring several new inventions the birds have never seen before, and one of them is a slingshot.
