"The last time I laughed and cried in theaters was "Crazy Primitives" three years ago."
As we all know, "Angry Birds" is a mobile game developed by Rovio. Based on its high-level game quality that is "easy to learn, difficult to master", "Angry Birds" not only attracts mobile game players of all ages around the world, but the parent company Rovio also expands its influence by launching "Angry Birds" successively. "Rio Edition, Space Edition, Star Wars Edition, as well as game derivative works such as "Angry Birds Kart", "Trickster Pig" and 52 episodes of animated short films.
Since 2014, Rovio's profits have begun to decline, and it has been 7 years since the release of the first game of "Angry Birds". At this time, the animated film "Angry Birds" appeared, which inevitably left people behind A suspicion of fried cold rice.
The movie version of "Angry Birds" is produced by Sony Pictures, and is co-directed by Krekatis, who participated in the production of "Frozen", "Frozen Food" and other films, and "Jungle Counterattack" creator Fegel Reilly . In the first week of its release, it topped the North American weekly box office, successfully ending the dream of "Captain America 3" winning three consecutive weekly box offices.
To be honest, it didn't increase my expectations that much for an adaptation of a movie to be so successful. I have to watch it to know the quality of the movie itself.
Unsurprisingly, the movie version of Angry Birds has a story that is simple enough to be young. The film deeply restores the various character designs of the mobile game "Angry Birds". The birds in the 2D style of the mobile phone appear on the three-dimensional big screen for the first time. The character modeling is also more vivid and friendly, which is really commendable. Although the story is as simple as a sentence, it is not easy to recognize the various modern elements interspersed in the whole film, from "The Shining" to "Genesis", from the possession of "Quicksilver" to the ending. In the return-type Easter Egg, the thoughts and performances of the birds are constantly bursting out. Children can see the excitement, while older audiences may be overwhelmed, or even completely overwhelmed.
I have to say that Hollywood's animation production is really strong. At first, a mobile game with no specific plot, after being adapted into an animated film, not only has the character image full, the specific details are in place, but the jokes caused by the birds are also powerful. Personally, I especially like the plot of the birds in the film when they imagined the invincible condor. The invincible condor who gave birds countless dreams and motivations. What attitude will this legendary hero appear in front of the birds and the audience. I remember the last time I laughed and cried in the theater, it was "Crazy Primitives" three years ago.
In the second half of the film, many elements of the puzzle mobile game "Trick or Treat Pig" appeared. The pigs and birds, which have already taken shape in the game, may also lead to another series of film and television works with a dual-camp world view in the film field. For example, Warcraft and Assassin's Creed soon after.
