"It has things to say about colonialism (no, seriously!) and about the seductions of consumer culture, and about the compromises that must be made, in a civil society, between the individual interest and the common good. It’s a meditation on family values, and on soft power versus hard, and possibly even—via a leader who ends up being all bluster—on the political rise of Donald J. Trump."

***THE SHITLIBS AT THE VOX DONT SEEM TO BE TAKING THE FILM'S MESSAGE WITH GOOD HEART:

http://www.vox.com/2016/5/20/11707508/angry-birds-movie-review-trump

"The Angry Birds Movie is disappointing for a number of reasons, but the top one might be that if it had committed just 10 percent more to its core premise, it could have accidentally been the Trumpiest kids' movie ever made...

...The basic idea behind Angry Birds is that something precious has been taken from the birds and is being held behind closed doors. Fortunately, each bird has a special skill, whether that's being super fast or being able to explode or just being a gigantic, hulking brute. (The gigantic red bird Terence, the best character in the game, is also the best character in the film, communicating only in grunts and chuckles provided by Sean Penn, of all people.)...

...I don't want to claim that Angry Birds could have been Shakespeare, but of all popular mobile games to adapt, it's the one that offers the most ready-made plot outline for a film to exploit. Or, failing that, it could have been a truly weird experiment in seeing how close a kids' film could get to justifying xenophobia and/or racism. Instead, it's neither/nor, and one of the flatter movies of the year...

C'mon, Angry Birds. You could have been so weird. I expected more."

***THE NY POST WRITES:

http://nypost.com/2016/05/19/angry-birds-movie-fails-to-make-a-dumb-app-into-a-political-statement/amp/

"Smartphone apps don’t particularly lend themselves well to political allegory or satire. But that’s precisely what the makers of this fitfully amusing animated adaptation of the once-popular game seem to be fruitlessly attempting.

Rebelling against Bird Island’s liberal, everyone-gets-along philosophy by acting out, cardinal Red is sentenced to an anger management class led by Matilda...

...His classmates are fellow avian rebels against political correctness...

....Red is the only one who’s suspicious when a band of seemingly friendly singing-and-dancing green pigs (immigrants!) come ashore... And, sure enough, Red’s proven right when they steal the birds’ eggs (the unborn!), and set sail for home to feast on them.

So Red and his pals enlist the help of the egotistical and more-than-slightly Trump-ian Mighty Eagle...who at one point takes a lengthy leak into a lake.

Our tantrum-prone heroes follow the pigs back to Pig Island — where they rescue the eggs and, taking their cue from Ted Cruz, proceed to bomb the intruders back to the Stone Age. Parents of 5-year-olds, you have been warned."
