There are some changes to the original Angry Birds series in the movie, with the most infamous being the redesigns of the birds and pigs. Other changes include the birds' home being changed from Piggy Island to the new Bird Island, how Bubbles has been changed from a young child (only being able to communicate with childlike babble in books) with a knack for candy to an adult who doesn't care about confectionary, the complete reform of Silver's character, and the straight-up removal of some of the pigs, most notably King Pig, who has been replaced by his father, Leonard. Many of these changes would be applied to the games, specifically Bird Island.

The first film in the series. Red is a grumpy bird on Bird Island, an island populated by entirely happy, flightless birds who don't have any knowledge of the outside world. Red's grumpiness has made him lonely outcast, and one incident of his anger got him sentenced to Anger Management Class. The class is run by Matilda and it contains Chuck, Bomb, and Terence, all of which being characters from the original Angry Birds franchise. However, when a group of pigs led by Leonard visit Bird Island to seemingly to create an alliance with the birds, Red has great suspicions, as they destroyed his house. Red, Chuck, and Bomb team up to find out what the pigs are really up to, and they also try to get the legendary Mighty Eagle to help.
The second film in the series, it starts with the birds and pigs continuing their battles through pranks. Red became a hero along with Chuck and Bomb due to their efforts in the Battle of Pig City. However, when Leonard discovers a frosty third island led by frustrated Eagle Zeta, who wants to colonise Bird and Piggy Island and make them her own perfect vacation spots, he starts a truce with the birds to try and stop this new threat. Red initially does not trust Leonard but he is eventually persuaded to team up with the pigs. They recruit Bomb, Chuck, Mighty Eagle, and newcomer Silver, Chuck's sister. They set out to infiltrate the new Eagle Island and stop Zeta's plans.
While the plot is unknown, Rovio has introduced Melody and Jo (two new characters who might appear in it) but Rovio has also been acknowledging Ruby since the 14th Angry Birds anniversary meaning that she might appear in the movie as well.
JC You know the challenge for us is really actually the fun opportunity because in the first Angry Birds we were focused on bringing the game to life and and telling that kind of weird story about birds and pigs, and pigs stealing birds eggs, and all of that. Then the the very cool thing that we were able to do with Angry Birds 2 is take the story into a totally new direction and really tell an original story. And so it was a challenge but also really fun to do.
JC Yeah. It was something we worked on quite a bit and spent a lot of time with our whole team with like Thurop just mentioned. We were really trying to craft what their story would be, and we had many many different ideas along the way. But again, because the movie was so storyboard-driven it really lends itself to the hatchlings. Then of course, the hatchlings came to life in their voices with actual real little kids who were so much fun to have in the recording sessions. And I think just gave them that that extra authenticity as as little kids.
RW Yeah. So was it a challenge to writer the new character Silver: the new sort of love interest for Red? That whole plotline but making her kind of stand on her own and become confident as the movie goes along? That story arc?
JC Well the movie is in theaters on Tuesday. This Tuesday. All you who live in the US! And it will start to start to come out around the world this week. And so we are excited! And I am on Twitter and Instagram at @JohnCohen1
1. There is a same-sex couple at the beginning of the film. When Red (the main character) mistakes a flirtatious look from three female birds, it was actually only one that ended up walking away with the other male bird. The other two females stood up and held hands, walking away together lovingly.
Behold, Eagle Island. Just out of sight, the eagle leader Zeta (Leslie Jones) wants to get rid of all the birds and pigs and take over the tropical locales for herself. Nothing quite like a common enemy to unite the little guys.
It was really interesting finding out about the film. I was really curious how the film came to be. Angry Birds is the most downloaded mobile game in history, with over 3 billion downloads and the first to be made into a major motion picture. The film is entirely funded by Finnish company Rovio Entertainment, the makers of the Angry Birds game. Sony Studios was commissioned to make the movie, which took 3 1/2 years and involved a crew of over 500 people.
