A beloved game, brings some nostalgia and brings in some good money. This is supposed to be the template for many video game adaptations. But, almost many films failed as there was no cohesive screenplay written for them. Unfortunately, The Angry Birds Movie is one of them for me as I stopped watching the movie at 10 minutes of the movie. The sequel popped up from nowhere. So, Did the film surprise me or is it just another failed cash grab?
The Angry Birds Movie 2 is a animated comedy movie directed by Thurop Van Orman starring Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad, Danny McBride, Maya Rudolph, Tony Hale, Bill Hader and Peter Dinklage, Leslie Jones, Rachel Bloom, Awkwafina, Sterling K. Brown, and Eugenio Derbez. The story revolves Eagle Island where Zeta lives. Due to circumstances, she is trying to conquer bird island and pig island. Does she conquer them? How, by forming a truce the pigs and birds defeated Zeta forms the rest of the story.
Right out of the park, the screenplay of the film takes a more kid-friendly tone and takes a comedy route with how and low brow humour which works in the favour of the movie. The humour is very well made and is hilarious. The fast pace of the movie also helps set the tone of the film. Red is still the hot-head but now he is cooled down and so is more fun-filled. The speed bird and bomb are well made as the ever-supporting characters. The new characters such as silver or the pig-scientist are good. But, here's the catch. As, they are kid-friendly they do not have any depth to them. They work on their one or two qualities to generate humour but the emotions never come out. But, this movie is definitely not dull or um mean like its predecessor.
The animation of the movie has to be commended. Sony Animation Studios ever since they made Hotel Transylvania have been excelling in cartoon style slapstick CG animation. They incorporate such animation in this movie as well which works for the favour of the movie. The backgrounds are vibrant and colourful. The character design and animation are very true to the video game. They obviously do not have of the Pixar or Disney but yet they work.
The voice cast in the film is the soul of the film. Without them, the film would have become trash. Every actor in the film reveal their funny bone to the audience. The telugu, hindi dub is also very apt without any gimmicky references.
Overall, The Angry Birds Movie 2 is just a fun ride for kids and adults as well if they just wanna become kids. It's a blast on TV and will be definitely the best thing if you watch it with your kids.
