Angry Birds X: The Fine-Feathered Movie/Tropes

"Most people think it's simple being a cartoon character. They say it's a piece of cake. Ha, that's a laugh! And I should know. You see, cartoon characters, also known as "Toons," are really just actors. Toons live in a place called Toontown, and they go to work like anybody else. Take me, for instance. Me and my flock spend most of our time on movie sets at Rovio Animation and Cartoon Network Studios. But let's not jump around the bush, ladies and gentlemen. Allow me to introduce Edgar Baconhooves, the most dastardly pig in all of Piggy Island. He is evil and clever. Edgar and his henchmen, Marf, Gramps, and Frank, schemed to steal the eggs, so they can have an omelet feast for their master, King Julian Smoothcheeks I. But every single time, they were foiled by us, the greatest flock of heroes who ever lived... The Angry Birds!"

– Bomb, narrating the opening scene

Angry Birds X: The Fine-Feathered Movie is a 2018 live-action/animated hybrid film that's, well, based on the Cartoon Network/Rovio series Angry Birds X, with Robert Zemeckis and Joe Dante directing the live-action sequences and Genndy Tartakovsky directing the animated sequences. It is another good example of the Roger Rabbit Effect.

In this Big Damn Movie, Bomb is helping prepare for Piggy Island's first ever Toon Companionship Festival, the grandest celebration any toon has ever seen. Unfortunately, this happens on the same day Piggy Island is invaded by a nefarious crow called Baron Harmful and their piggy arch-enemy Edgar Baconhooves, who has a keen interest in breaking the Bird-Pig truce. With the fate of Piggy Island and the Eggs at risk, Bomb must embark on a perilous journey alongside his flock to gather new allies beyond their home and save the Eggs, Piggy Island, and the entire Tooniverse.

Angry Birds X: The Fine Feathered Movie contains examples of:
Chuck: And YOU'VE caused the arrival of that heinous crow to make ALL OF THIS SHINDIG to happen! Red: What's next in your stupid toque, Baconhooves? Edgar: I'm glad you asked, birds. I'm finally going to cook ze eggs to make an omelet feast after failing so MANY times, end ze stupid peace treaty between birds and pigs, and take my reign of terror to new heights. First, Piggy Island. Then Toontown. Then ze Tooniverse. Zen who knows, maybe zat'll be more than enough. And you know what's ze best part for moi? You'll be unable to see it! C'est dommage, non? Hal: What do you expect, mate? We're the... Angry... Birds! Bomb: So welcome to the new norm, you sick twisted freak! Mighty Eagle: On behalf of our flock, piggy allies, and toons, this is our declaration of liberty! Bomb: Remember that scene after Judge Doom was flattened, laddie? Red: Well, yes. I'm no shaman, but I'm gonna guess what's gonna happen next. Hal: Let me get this straight, Mighty. You knew that Baron Harful is actually Judge MOTHERFLOCKING Doom reincarnated… AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN WARN US ABOUT THAT?! Chuck: Well, in that case… EVERY TOON FOR THEMSELVES!!!!! Bomb: (about to flare up, with his fuse lighting up) WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!?! Hal: HEY! Aren't we supposed to be having a festival, mates? This is our finest and biggest battle yet, flock. So if we want to go all out, we're going out fed up, feathered, and furious! So, it's time to get livid! It's time to get triggered! It's time to GET ANRGY!” Mr. Hollywood: Aren’t these cute? BUT IT'S WRONG!! Scooby-Doo: No Scooby Snacks this time. Red: Yep. It's simple, but overdone when Hollywood plays it straight. Let's hope we can subvert it, though. Mickey Mouse: Didn't it hurt knowing that Judge Doom almost dipped Toontown and we didn't do a thing about it? Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse: (simultaneously) Well, we say it's time to show that burning red eyed crow what toons are made of! Show him what happens when you mess with the Angry Birds, the Pigs, and all of Toontown! Bugs Bunny: Eh… (munches on a carrot nonchalantly) now who's with us, doc? Baron Harmful: I know those toons are hiding somewhere. Edgar: How can you be sure, mon ami? Baron Harmful: This should bring them out, no toon can resist it. Bomb: Just don't have our movie be directed by Raja Gosnell, Plotz. As we all toons know, Raja Gosnell is the cinematic equivalent of child syphilis and the human incarnation of the phrase, "No refunds." Chuck: ...Mother. Bomb: Well... The Flock (sans Bomb): We're boned! Bomb: Yeah, we are boned. RUUUUUUN!!!
 * 2D Visuals, 3D Effects: When the Flock hold live-action objects.
 * The origin story of Baron Von Rotten is rendered in full stop-motion sets designed by Screen Novelties, as an homage to Fleischer Studios' use of the stereoptical camera.
 * In the prologue, while the majority of toons is hand-drawn on tablet with computer-aided lighting and texturing, certain objects are 3D models, lit the same way as the 2D characters to blend in seamlessly.
 * Accidental Public Confession: While arguing with Chef Pig over dipping Piggy Island, along with Toontown as well, Baron Harmful snaps angrily and accidentally exposes his true identity as the reincarnated Judge Doom to him and the rest of toons.
 * Achilles' Heel: The deadly Dip, a deadly corrosive sickly green colored acid made of turpentine, benzene, and acetone, three paint thinners that dissolves toons on contact, makes a big comeback for almost 30 years since its debut in Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
 * Ambition Is Evil: As he is the reincarnation of Judge Doom, Baron Harmful's ambition is to try to wipe Toontown again and Piggy Island off the face of the Earth to get revenge on Roger Rabbit, and seemingly all Toons, for letting Eddie Valiant defeat him.
 * Amusing Injuries: The Flock gets injured all the time, but they always survive it unharmed the next scene.
 * Ascended Fangirl - Lynn has been established an (In-Universe) avid Angry Birds fan, and is visibly extremely excited upon getting to meet the Flock for real. She eventually helps her heroes in the big battle of the film by using her violent roughhousing to help them defeat Baron Harmful's army.
 * Alternate Tooniverse - Sure, this movie mostly has toons in the real world in the prologue, but in this film within the film, every single toon lives in an alternate universe known as the "Tooniverse." One way to get there is through entering Toontown, Yes, THAT Toontown!, an animated metropolis/mega city adjacent to Los Angeles where all toons live!
 * Affectionate Parody - One of animated movies based on cartoons, slapstick comedies, live-action/animated hybrids, and even Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
 * An Aesop - Three lessons are learned by three characters.
 * The Flock: You can't fight back and take back what's yours without some help.
 * Hal: A team won't be a team without a genius, try to get back up and make your voice heard.
 * Edgar: Sometimes we just have to move on with our lives, learn from our mistakes in the past, and put the past behind us.
 * Adaptation Amalgamation - The movie exhibits a mix of plot elements from Poached Eggs (The Eggs getting stolen by an enemy of the Flock) and Mighty Hoax (The eggs being replaced with fake ones) together. The third showdown is a 10-minute adaptation of the classic slingshot games of Angry Birds, with The Flock utilizing all of their individual powers to fight Baron Harmful and Edgar Baconhooves.
 * And Then What?: The Flock asks this to him before they get sent to the real world, Edgar answers their expectations by explaining his motives after he stole the eggs and usurped King Smoothcheeks and becomes the new king of Piggy Island, and then repeat this task across Toontown and then the Tooniverse. Bomb: So you stole the eggs, usurped your king, and took over Piggy Island.
 * Animal Talk - There are a couple of scenes where The Flock can speak to the birds in the real world and understand them, and can understand humans and try to talk to the humans. All they hear is chirping, tweeting, and squawking, and Bomb, Chuck, and Red are understandably confused, most likely that the humans can't hear them speak pure English.
 * Animation Bump - The animation has better, smoother, more fluid animation than the series itself, which tends to look amazingly cartoony enough as it is. This is particularly noticeable in the birds and pigs, while the characters have a lot more fluidity and zaniness with their movements and have more fluid techniques, and even the background designs are more impressive than those from the show. Even the Hanna-Barbera characters move more fluid than they do in their show while retaining the Hanna-Barbera style. The movie also has great facial expressions, due to the bigger budget
 * Animated Actors - Just about all of the toons are portrayed this way in the Framing Device, especially the Flock. This also applies to characters in computer animaited series, and stop-motion characters. However, most toons show that their character in real life and their character from the show are basically the same (i.e. Spongebob Squarepants, Gadget Hackwrench, Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny, Woody Woodpecker, The Mane 6, The Loud Siblings (sans Lynn), Tasmanian Devil, Steven Universe, Danny Phantom, etc.)
 * Alas, Poor Yorick: Baron Harmful looks at the taxidermized Toon Patrol (sans Smart Ass, due to him being melted by the dip in Who Framed Roger Rabbit.) in his blimp and speaks to them.
 * Arc Words
 * "Toons can survive anything."
 * "Birds of the feather flock together!"
 * "It's time to get angry" Uttered by each of the members of the Flock.
 * Art Shift - The ending credits and each Imagine Spot are done in a combination of the game's art style and the same thick-line animation as Dexter's Laboratory and Genndy Tartakovsky's other previous works.
 * When The Flock are thinking of a plan, the sequence is completely animated in the style of Tex Avery, animated by none other than Eric Goldberg.
 * Thanks to Baron Harmful, the Flock shift between a 2D animated style and a hand-drawn looking cartoony CG style.
 * When The Flock are dreaming in their sleep or thinking of something good or bad, the sequences are also traditionally animated, but in the style of Chuck Jones.
 * Ascended Extra - All of the toons went from cameos in Who Framed Roger Rabbit to being extended supporting cameos in this movie, Bugs Bunny, Mickey Mouse, Roger Rabbit, SpongeBob, and Twilight Sparkle especially.
 * Ascended Meme - Bugs Bunny, momentarily mocking Thaddeus Plotz, takes the appearance of "Big Chungus" when he does it.
 * Badass Boast: When Hal goes full-on Angry Bird when his flock is threatened, he launched himself via slingshot, holds a mallet above his head and announces himself to the pigs thusly. Guess what he did before tearing these pigs limb from limb... The rest of Edgar's goons quickly learn to fear him as “The Boomerang Bird of Austrailia.”: Hal: Did you forget who I am? I AM THE BOOMERANG BIRD OF AUSTRALIA, MATES! And the boomerang always comes back!!
 * Hal and Bomb deliver one at Baron Harmful when they drive the crows away. Baron Harmful: (as Bomb and his flock is wreaking havoc on the crows) You can't do this to my army! Who do you think you are?!
 * Last but not least, Mighty Eagle when he's gonna crash down Baron Harmful's ship
 * Back from the Dead: Sort of. Baron Harmful isn't a new character, but rather a reincarnated Judge Doom.
 * Badass Crew:
 * The Flock:
 * The Leader / The Hero: Bomb
 * The Strategist / Number Two: Red
 * The Lancer / Plucky Comic Relief: Chuck
 * The Smart Guy / The Heart: Hal
 * The Engineer: The Blues
 * The Chick / Team Chef: Matilda
 * The Big Guy / The Quiet One: Terence and Tony
 * The Social Expert: Frost
 * Plucky Comic Relief: Silver
 * Tagalong Kid: Bubbles
 * The Sneaky Gal: Stella
 * The Empath / Communications Officer: Ruby
 * Team Prima Donna: Gale
 * The Mentor / The Captain: The Mighty Eagle
 * Sixth Ranger: Poppy, Dahlia, and Willow
 * The Baby of the Bunch: Luca
 * The Pigs:
 * The Leader: King Matthew Mudbeard-Smoothcheeks
 * The Big Guy: Corporal Richard Pigman
 * The Lancer: Foreman Nigel Piglington

 * Team Pet / Plucky Comic Relief: Minion Pigs
 * The Smart Guy: Leonard Mudbeard-Smootcheeks
 * Tagalong Kid: Ross
 * The Engineer: Mechanic Louis Piggsly
 * Tagalong Chronicler: Chronicler Doug Piggerstein
 * Breaking the Fourth Wall - This film basically demolishes the fourth wall with a truckload of dynamite, then reconstructs it behind the audience.
 * At one point, Chuck pauses the film and appears onscreen to assures the audience that the plot focuses on the rest of the Flock and it's not all about him. From the audience's side of it.
 * Each of the Flock occasionally talk to the audience, and they even freeze-frame the movie at one point to discuss what's going on.
 * After Baron Harmful's true identity has been revealed, Chuck says, "I know all toons have seen you died in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" and died again in "The Ressurection of Doom"."
 * Heck the prologue is the entire Flock asking Plotz to make their movie a 2-D animated film continuation of their show. When they succeed, they start chatting about how they are about to hit the big screen (with the help of a large amount of cartoon characters) and ending with what the plot for the movie is going to be.
 * This scene right here after Baron Harmful is flattened. The Flock may have celebrated their victory of defeating Baron Harmful, but after being flattened by Terence, he stands up in a flattened thin figure form, showing that he had survived as he wobbles around and begins ranting that he doesn't want to lose for the third time, to the point that Red hears some eerily familiar music. Red: Um… Your Leadership? Why do we hear boss music?
 * We get this not-so-subtle moment from Chuck. Chuck: So our film is going to be a live-action/2D animated hybrid with the villain being in black with burning red eyes, it also has loads and loads of cartoon cameos, and it is a love letter to a certain era of animation? (looks at the camera) Sounds oddly familiar.
 * Berserk Button - Don't play "It's Everyday, Bro" in front of The Flock, EVER!
 * Baron Harmful despises being called a hawk, especially that he technically is a crow.
 * Chuck gets really ticked off when Vicky calls him a cartoonish-looking mutated goldfinch/woodpecker hybrid in a dismissively insulting tone.
 * Bait and Switch - At the end, it looks like the pigs cheer for the Flock for saving Piggy Island and pulled a huge Ungrateful Bastard on Edgar... Turns out, no. The pigs gave him the opportunity to rebuild Chez Piggy.
 * Big Bad - Baron Harmful is the true main villain of the film. Edgar used to be the main villain of the film until he betrayed by him.
 * Big Damn Heroes - When The Flock comes face-to-face with Baron Harmful's enormous army, everything appears to be a lost cause... until Bomb hears Bugs Bunny's voice call out "What's up, doc?". Cue every toon alongside the Crystal Gems, the Looney Tunes, the Warner Siblings, the Cartoon Cartoons, and more making an entrance to create an army of their own.
 * Surprisingly, Lynn arrives at the final battle of the film to help the Flock protect the Eggs from Baron Harmful's army.
 * Hal has one when he sees that his flock is in danger, goes to show that he truly cares about them both as a family and a team.
 * Big Damn Movie - A film involving Bomb and the entire Flock embarking on a crazy journey and battle a new arch-nemesis (which is a bird) in order to save the universe and their eggs.
 * Big Damn Reunion - Towards the end of the film. Just when The Flock are about to be defeated by Baron Harmful, until Bugs Bunny comes in, along with every toon.
 * Big Entrance - After the Flock come across Dick Dastardly, Muttley, Bill Cipher, Plankton, General Skarr, Vicky's entrance is preceded by thunder and lightning on a sunny day and songbirds falling from the sky, followed by a blood-curdling scream.
 * Big Ball of Violence: The movie shows the Flock (sans Bomb, Bubbles, Jay, Matilda, and Hal) scuffling at each other, resulting in a big ball of dust. Unusually for this trope, we actually get a few shots of the inside of the ball, where Red and Chuck bash each other with frying pans in various ways while random objects fly around.
 * Big "SHUT UP!": Hal does this to stop the Flock from fighting.
 * Big WHAT?: The flock when they realize that Baron Harmful is a reincarnation of Judge Doom, especially Bomb, once he finds out that Baron Harmful will put all of Toontown in mortal danger just like Judge Doom done and failed. The Flock (sans Bomb): What?!
 * The Big Damn Kiss: Done twice with Bomb and Matilda.
 * Biting-the-Hand Humor - The whole prologue of the film is basically a giant middle finger to unfaithful live-action, or live-action/CGI hybrid, movie adaptations based on animated series.
 * Breakout Character - Bomb, Red, Chuck, The Blues, Matilda, and Hal.
 * Call Back - Remember how Shaggy criticizes Matthew Lillard on his performance in the live-action film for making him sound like a "space cadet" and told him he’s coming after him if he goofs on him in the sequel and Scooby-Doo will give him a "Scooby Snarl" in Looney Tunes: Back In Action? Well, it has continued and it’s still hilarious.
 * The Cameo - Virtually almost every possible cartoon character from Disney, Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, Hanna Barbera, Warner Bros., Universal, and more has a cameo, and the film treated them with the same dedication and love that animation fans, young and old, felt every single time they watched them. Even Roger Rabbit, Jessica Rabbit, Baby Herman, and Benny the Cab made cameos in this film!
 * Panty and Stocking are not at the festival, but appears earlier in the film to send Fifi La Fume to Piggy Island, while apparently trying to get rid of her musk. They tossed her to Piggy Island after giving up, with Panty calling her a purple kitty thing.
 * Any Malu has made a cameo in this film
 * Even though they aren't invited in the festival, Dexter's mom and dad, Mario, Luigi, Sonic, Tails, Mailbox, Tickety Tock, Mr. Horse, Trixie Lulamoon, Mammy Two Shoes, Bubbie, Katie Ka-Boom, and Elmyra Duff made cameos before, during, and after Baron Harmful's reveal.
 * The Warner Brothers and Kate Houghton made silent cameos and it's their first appearance since Looney Tunes: Back in Action
 * Catchphrase - Bugs Bunny greets the Flock with his trademark "What's up, doc?" upon his entrance in the big battle.
 * Character Development - The entire Flock, especially Bomb, Matilda, Chuck, Red, The Blues, and Hal.
 * Bomb becomes more of a responsible leader throughout the course of the film.
 * Matilda gets ready to help everyone other than the inhabitants of Piggy Island
 * Jay begins to be less annoyed with Jake and Jim's wild behavior.
 * Jake and Jim uses their pranks to defeat enemies.
 * Red becomes braver and more cunning against the nastiest of villains.
 * Chuck gets ready to know his limits for the sake of doing what's right.
 * Hal just feels like everyone else don't take him seriously until a conversation with Scarlett Johansson, he gains some confidence and patience and regains his sensible and reliable nature.
 * Coconut Meets Cranium - During their battle on sea, Lord Dominator gets conked on the head with one by Jake and Jim before trying to burn Jay into a crisp.
 * Continuity Nod - Way, way too many to count—the entire film can be seen as a throwback to the original games and the show.
 * The Calvary - Before the Flock are gonna be dissolved by Baron Harmful's dip-filled bombs, they are saved by a magical shield. It turns out that it was Twilight Sparkle, Mickey Mouse, and Bugs Bunny saving them.
 * Composite Character - For Daffy Duck, This movie combines his goofy, hyperactive personality from Bob Clampett's era and his heavy sarcasm from Chuck Jones's era, confirming that these incarnations are the same character.
 * Curb-Stomp Battle - Hal vs. Edgar Baconhooves' piggy army. The pigs don't even stand a chance against his Tranquil Fury.
 * Creative Closing Credits: The start of the closing credits show an animation of the events of the show and the movie, provided by Yowza! Animation, complete with wild facial expressions for the Flock and the Pigs. Although, the art evolves from the classic Angry Birds games into a hybrid of something now more reminiscent of Angry Birds Toons, though it is closer to the same thick-line animation as Dexter's Laboratory. It even shows pixellated versions of the Flock and the Pigs, giving it an 8-bit NES-esque style.
 * Closest Thing We Got - After knowing that his Toon Patrol have been dead, with one of them (Smartass) getting kicked to the Dip, Baron Harmful has to settle with Edgar's choice of an evil toon army. It's only when eight of them got thwarted, outsmarted, and defeated by the Flock.
 * Darkest Hour - Happened twice.
 * After Edgar Baconhooves reigns victory against the Flock, Pig City has become a despaired prison by them, Piggy Island has turned into a cesspool. After The Flock got transported into the real world, Hal goes to sulk alone on a bench, feeling like everything is hopeless. But then a glimmer of hope that is Scarlett Johansson came in.
 * After the Flock came back, Baron Harmful betrayed Edgar Baconhooves after a fallout. The Flock saved the latter. The Flock fight Baron Harmful, but they are all defeated; When Baron Harmful, after his villainous breakdown, captures them after his speech, the Darkest Hour gets worse than one can even imagine. The Flock have all been tied up and are about to be dissolved by one of Baron Harmful's dip-filled bombs, and Bomb's clearly beginning to lose faith and will never see the eggs again. And then all the Toons arrive, along with the entire group of Looney Tunes.
 * Dance Party Ending - Justified, because it's a festival being thrown in the beginning of the film, and after saving Piggy Island, everyone starts dancing to Bomb, Red, Hal, and, Chuck singing "Livin' La Vida Loca."
 * Deadly Dodging: In addition to the Troll maneuver of Bubbles that's detailed below, The Blues cleverly causes Dick Dastardly and Vicky to knock into each other's heads when trying to escape them.
 * Death Glare - Baron Harmful gives a rather frightening one to The Flock before lunging at them after they tricked him into thinking that Edgar has the eggs.
 * Deadpan Snarker - Hal can throw a few slurs throughout the whole movie.
 * Demoted to Extra - Any bird from the show who isn't the rest of the Flock. Bounci, Callum, Chip, the Hatchlings, Melody, Chet, and Ollie, due to being members of the flock, only play a supporting role in the story at best, they're only vital when the Flock are about to launch themselves forward by the slingshot. Gold, Penelope, Sapphire, Jackie, Ty, and Oscar make silent cameos.
 * Even King Smoothcheeks I, the main antagonist of the whole show, is rarely seen. The role of the Big Bad of the film is given to Baron Harmful.
 * Distinctive Appearances - Unlike The Angry Birds Movie, where the birds and pigs have arms and legs, the character designs in this movie retain the typically limbless designs, which is a spot-on match to their game counterparts.
 * The Dreaded - As he is Judge Doom reincarnated as a crow, Baron Harmful is genuinely despised and feared by all toons, birds, and pigs alike. He gets even more feared and despised when his true identity has been revealed.
 * Baron Harmful is shown to be very wary of The Flock when they're off to get reinforcements, with him being quick to threaten any of the Toons for information on the angry birds.
 * Do Not Go Gentle: After the flock came back to Piggy Island and before they get their Heroic Second Wind, Bomb tells the rest of the Flock this:
 * Dude, Where's My Respect? - This is Hal's goal until Scarlett Johansson comforted him — he wants to be treated as one of the most respected members of the team and to be acknowledged as one of the heroes, but everyone else (except The Flock, the Pigs and Lynn Loud Jr.) just see him as just a straight man until they see him launching himself on the slingshot to save his flock.
 * Enemy Mine - Surprisingly, Bugs Bunny and Cecil Turtle have to put aside their differences to stop Baron Harmful from destroying Toontown and Piggy Island. In fact, several Looney Tunes with normally antagonistic relationships work together on the same team.
 * Everyone Has Standards - Even Mr. Hollywood (from 2 Stupid Dogs) knows that making a live action adaptation based on any cartoon is wrong.
 * Even Evil Has Standards - Justified, Edgar is perfectly fine with stealing the Flock's eggs and usurping King Smoothcheeks II, and if one scene is to be believed, with ruling Piggy Island too. However, when Baron Harmful mentions dipping, not just Toon Town, but Piggy Island off the face of the earth as well, he's absolutely horrified, because Piggy Island is his home and there are loads of innocent toons living in Toon Town. And when Baron Harmful reveals that he IS the reincarnated form of Judge Doom and makes a Nightmare Face for emphasis, the chef pig cowers in fear, finally realizing that he made a horribly BIG mistake. Sure Edgar's a villain, but he doesn't want Piggy Island destroyed.
 * Even the toon villains, even Lord Dominator, are disgusted with Edgar when he worked with Baron Harmful, after he was revealed to be Judge Doom reincarnated, simply because he wanted to be king of Piggy Island.
 * Explain, Explain... Oh, Crap!: As Bomb and his flock are in the real world, Mighty Eagle and Roger Rabbit explains to them that they sensed Judge Doom's presence within Baron Harmful, revealing that Baron Harmful was just Judge Doom reincarnated into a crow. Bomb has this reaction when he realizes that all birds, pigs, and toons are in danger of a reincarnated Judge Doom.
 * Fangirl: Lynn Loud is this to the Flock big time in this movie, especially Hal and Chuck (since they are her favorite birds to launch from the slingshot). Which is especially hilarious and relatable since she wants to be noticed by them.
 * Fake-Out Opening - The movie opens with a live-action CGI hybrid about the Flock and the pigs, being rendered in a realistic CGI style al a Scooby-Doo and Alvin and the Chipmunks, battling against each other, which is thankfully put to a halt by Bomb.
 * Fake Defector - Skarr and Mr. Kat pretend to betray the other heroes and side with Baron Harmful a la Underfist, as shown as they're the only ones who are proud that the Flock came back to Piggy Island.
 * Fate Worse than Death: His Flock is as important to Bomb as saving Piggy Island and the eggs, so the possibility of losing them is considered this.
 * Final Boss: Baron Harmful is the last antagonist The Flock have to fight in the film.
 * Foreshadowing: There are a couple of hints of Baron Harmful being a reincarnation of Judge Doom until he was revealed to be him:
 * Such as his first scene where he was first introduced, there's a gust of Dramatic Wind near-permanently blowing his feathers back, especially his crest. Even indoors, somehow, those feathers always keeps having wind blowing sinisterly backwards.
 * He is noticeably more theatrical than any other toon, bird, or pig.
 * He mistreats his mooks when they laugh, kinda like how Judge Doom mistreats the Toon Patrol when they laugh.
 * Baron Harmful announces his presence to everyone on Piggy Island by whistling an eerily familiar tune. Bomb notes it when he and his flock are at the real world, trying to figuring out who Baron Harmful really is. Bomb: I don't know about you, birds, but even that tune that crow is whistling sounds very familiar
 * The color of his feathers and beak may resemble that of a crow, but he has the beak that resembles a vulture. Hinting that he's not entirely a crow.
 * Good All Along - General Skarr and surprisingly Mr. Kat turn out to be helping the Flock and gave the anonymous tip that they regarded as they're gonna need all the help they can get.
 * Framing Device - The Flock, the Pigs, and the toons attending the premiere of the movie, making the main movie a Film Within a Film.
 * The Friend Nobody Likes - Well OK, "friends" might be a stretch, but Lu and Jake Spidermonkey are members of the Cartoon Network group since their shows premiere. Almost all toons can't stand them (even Lynn Loud, Lori Loud, Daffy Duck, Dexter and especially Lisa Loud.)
 * Husky Russkie - Baron Harmful has a threateningly bone-chilling thick Russian accent, that even The Pigs are scared of it.
 * Laser-Guided Karma - Edgar getting an appropriate comeuppance when he got betrayed by Baron Harmful. Even being isolated by the other pigs for summoning Baron Harmful while glaring at him, much to Edgar's chagrin, saying that will this never end.
 * Mr. Fugu gets a huge one! When he's about ready to eat the banquet, Chuck and Rigby restrained him from any food by tying him into a fire hydrant, since he refuses to share with Chowder.
 * Left the Background Music On: Done with a sound effect — when Bomb becomes very, very angry, with his feathers turning boiling red in fury, when the Eggs got stolen by Baron Harmful, we hear a tea kettle going off. SpongeBob notices a nearby kettle whistling and says the tea is ready.
 * Heartbeat Soundtrack: When Bomb finally realizes that Baron Harmful was actually Judge Doom reincarnated, this plays over everything else, as he calmly places the phone on speaker mode, lets the Mighty Eagle tell the story of Judge Doom to the whole Flock (the latter's original name being Baron Von Rotten), and finally looks outside at his flock as the heart beats faster before he's about to flare up and get furious at the revelation.
 * Helium Speech: When being mocked by each of the Flock or revealing his Nightmare Face, Baron Harmful's voice slowly goes up in pitch to a furiously high shrill.
 * Hell Is That Noise: Due to being a reincarnation of Judge Doom, Baron Harmful's sudden high shrill of a voice is just as scary as before.
 * High-Pressure Emotion: Apparently happens to Bomb when he realizes that the Eggs got stolen by Baron Harmful. However, the steam doesn’t actually come out of his fuse, but from a tea kettle standing nearby.
 * Genre-Killer - The trailers actually claims that it will be so amazing that it will hopefully tone down the trend of live-action/CGI remakes of cartoons and continue the trend of animated films based on cartoons.
 * Heel–Face Turn - Edgar Baconhooves has one and it was genuine that he was defending the Flock.
 * In-Character Commentaries - The DVD releases of the film has commentary by The Flock, similar to MST3K.
 * I'm Melting!: Baron Harmful's death after Chuck stuffed a shrunken dip bomb down his throat. He even declares this verbatim meanwhile and his death, like in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, is very much a Shout-Out to the Wicked Witch's death in The Wizard of Oz.
 * Impact Silhouette - When The Flock lands in the real world, they leave a hole in the ground, shaped not like themselves, but like the slingshot.
 * Easily Forgiven - Edgar has been given respect from everyone in this film when he finally believes that the Eggs are actually kids after all.
 * Intercontinuity Crossover: Cartoon characters from just about every animation studio in existence from 1919 to present appear in the movie.
 * Kill It with Fire: The Mystery Inc. gang's response to the 2002 live action Scooby-Doo film is by burying, shredding, and burning every dvd and Blu-ray copy of the film.
 * Let's Get Dangerous!: Justified. Hal attempts this when he shows up during the final confrontation, to protect his flock and the eggs, and he doesn't go down easily.
 * Legion of Doom - A Big-Bad Ensemble consisting of Baron Harmful, Edgar Baconhooves, Vicky, Dick Dastardly, Muttley, The Liquidator, Bill Cipher, Plankton, Cad Lackey, Fat Cat, Lady Gobbler, Taurus Bulba, Simon Bar Sinister, Fearless Leader, Professor Norton Nimnul, Sartana of the Dead, Skeleton King, Boris Badenov, Natasha Fatale, Lord Dominator, Mr. Kat, General Skarr, Aku, and Voltura.
 * Lock-and-Load Montage: The flock are shown readying their slingshot and abilities before saving Piggy Island in the final battle
 * Logo Joke - The Warner Bros. and Warner Animation Group logo featured the WB shield having the colors being more reminiscent of the how the shield appeared in Looney Tunes cartoons that were released in the 1950s, with Red and Bomb being in Bugs' place, as they reworked the Warner Bros. Pictures logo into the Warner Bros. Family Entertainment shield, ironic that their family entertainment division went defunct in 2009, followed by Chuck coming out, pulling out a TNT box out of the WB shield itself, then throwing the TNT box to it, followed by the WB shield turning into the WAG shield, with Bomb and Red looking unimpressed.
 * Leitmotif:
 * In two scenes, a more Australian rendition of "Down Under" is Hal's.
 * Baron Harmful's theme is a bone-chillingly twisted Angry Birds-esque version of the beginning of "Doom's A Toon".
 * Loads and Loads of Characters: The Cartoon Network characters joins forces with the Looney Tunes, the Animaniacs, the Tiny Toons, the Nicktoons, Xilam, Universal, MGM, Fleischer Studios, and the Hanna-Barbera characters to bring an extraordinary ensemble cast of cartoon characters.
 * Mama Bear - When Matilda sees Bubbles cornered, Matilda tears her way through a horde of Baron Harmful's army of crows to save him with her never ending supply of egg bombs.
 * Mean Character, Nice Actor - While still being a Passionate Sports Girl, Lynn Jr. has her Lovable Jock attitude overshadow her Jerk Jock and Dumb Jock tendencies.
 * Master of Disguise - Chuck's role in this Flock.
 * Medium Blending - The scenes involving the Angry Birds worlds are done in traditional animation like the show (and is given the cinematic budget like The Angry Birds Movie), while all the scenes on land are in live action with the Flock done in gorgeous hand-drawn looking cartoony cel-shaded CGI animation done by Blue Sky Studios and Framestore as the latter hired Alex Henderson, who specializes in blending hand-drawn animation with CGI to create a unique style, but added lines on the outside to make them look both two-dimensional and three-dimensional and a lower framerate, in the style of The Peanuts Movie, and it ultimately makes it look like the cinematic trailers of Angry Birds Stella. Hal even foreshadowed the upcoming 2021 Tom and Jerry Movie in this movie.
 * The movie has this with most characters being 2D, some being CGI, and some being stop motion
 * When they enter the real world, the rest of The Flock's bodies are in cel-sahded CGI, but the pupils on their eyes are animated in frame-by-frame 2-D.
 * When The Flock go to the Warner Bros. studio, as they angrily lash out at Thaddeus Plotz and the Warner Bros. with the cartoon characters have concern and worry if their movie won’t be in 2D, and the ending where the Flock, the Pigs, and the cartoon characters watch their movie in a live action theater, they remain 2D a la Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Space Jam, and Looney Tunes: Back in Action.
 * Kick the Dog: Baron Harmful furiously asking and yelling Edgar why and how did the Flock came back was quite nasty. He also mistreats his crow army when they laugh.
 * Gravity Is a Harsh Mistress - After Chuck dodges Vicky's charging attack, it made her got off Baron Harmful's blimp. Vicky stays in the air long enough to look down and glare at Chuck before falling a la Wile E. Coyote.
 * Morning Routine - Bomb has his morning routine in the beginning, down to a Rube Goldberg science.
 * Motive Rant - Edgar Baconhooves has one in this movie.
 * With his patience wearing thin, Baron Harmful has the biggest one in this movie when The Flock begin battling him. With him being revealed to be a reincarnated Judge Doom across Toontown, Baron Harmful confesses that his arch-enemy, Eddie Valiant, has ruined his plan to destroy Toontown in order to build a freeway for profit, and vows that he won't let them take it away from him either.
 * My God, What Have I Done? - Edgar feels truly ashamed and regretful of himself when he finally realizes that his actions have consequences when he got betrayed by Baron Harmful after his big reveal.
 * Mythology Gag - Every single frame of the film is full of Easter eggs and references in different Angry Birds media for diehard Angry Birds fans to find and in animation for animation fans to find. Some of the more pointed examples in the film itself:
 * In the second trailer, some of Michael Jackson's Bad has a saxophone playing the Angry Birds 2 theme.
 * To Off Duty and Super Bomb: One scene shows Bomb getting a strawberry ice cream for breakfast.
 * To Egg's Day Out: When The Flock got wet during their journey, their wings can be shown.
 * To the cinematic trailer of the original game: Red sees a mosquito touching one of the eggs and swats it.
 * To Chuck Time: Chuck begins slowing down time to defeat Baron Harmful's army.
 * Bubbles saying "Don't mess with Bubbles!!" is a reference to his movie counterpart.
 * Michael Jackson's "Bad", which was heavily featured in the second trailer and some of the tv spots and used in the final battle, was used for the first two trailers of The Angry Birds Movie.
 * When the Flock became distorted by g-forces in the portal before returning to Piggy Island, they are for a brief moment turn to how they appeared in the Angry Birds Movie, then to how they appeared in Angry Birds Toons, then to the classic designs in their first game before returning to their normal selves.
 * Several of the iconic vehicles from Angry Birds Go! appear in the film.
 * Mega Crossover: This film alone shows that it is this to television animation, video games, and the Golden Age of Animation in general, from Felix the Cat to present, with a lot of properties making cameo appearances throughout the film.
 * Nightmare Face: Baron Harmful makes one and it comes out as a sadistic and dangerously big accidental reveal as the reincarnated Judge Doom, when his feathers turn from black to yellow as his beak makes a twisted, horrendously wide, and inhuman Wario-esque Slasher Smile, his crest turning into a yellowish white curly tuft of hair, and his burning red eyes begin to swirl. It quickly turns him from a menacing and cunning crow into something that's utterly demented and sadistic.
 * Hulking Out: When Baron Harmful turns into a chimeric toon monster, he becomes deranged raging maniac with a sadistic obsession to kill the Flock.
 * No-Sell - Baron Harmful's crow mooks come at the Flock with a leaping stomp, but Terence grabs them out of the air without even blinking, slams them into the ground, and the Flock hit them with Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs.
 * Ocular Gushers - Pinkie Pie, Chowder, Fifi La Fume, and Stimpy when all of the toons have got captured and caged during the Flock's first Darkest Hour.
 * Oh, No... Not Again! - The opening starts off when the Flock start groaning that a live action adaptation of their show has begun production, going to the Warner Bros. Studio to stop this plague once and for all.
 * Oh, Crap! - The Flock do this when they saw that Baron Harmful's sapphire bombs are filled with the dreaded dip, newly revived by Edgar Baconhooves. Their reactions are filled with fear and shock, especially Chuck, whom freaks out in a typical cartoon fashion. Chuck: Oh, BIRDSEED!! IT'S THE DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP!!!!!
 * Even the toons are horrified that Edgar revived the dip, even Dick Dastardly, to the point, advises The Flock and the Toons to run away to avoid getting melted by the dip.
 * Baron Harmful gives off a pretty good one and has about ten seconds to process how much trouble he's in before he hears the Mighty Eagle's battle cry. When he realizes that the can of sardines causes the Mighty Eagle to appear, his eyes bug out as big as tennis balls, Screams Like a Little Girl, and pulls out a sign that says "STOP IN THE NAME OF HUMANITY!" just before he's about to get attacked by Mighty. Of course, the Mighty Eagle doesn't listen because Baron Harmful isn't human.
 * One-Winged Angel - Baron Harmful's toon/dragon/bird form, complete with a shape-shifting ability, which he can turn into a disjointed chimera-like toon mashup of various cartoon characters, with a head being a cross between Golly Gopher, Kneesocks Daemon from Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt, and the Cheshire Cat from Disney's 1951 version of Alice in Wonderland, Judge Doom's red eyes and tuft of hair, shoulders being a mixture of Aku from Samurai Jack and Lord Dominator from Wander Over Yonder, Dark Danny's left arm, Stimpy's nose, Pepe Le Pew's tail, Fat Cat's torso, and Lynn Loud's right leg. Alongside other cartoon parts, such as Bill Cipher's right arm and TTG Cyborg's left leg.
 * Painted CGI - It looks like the Flock are cel-shaded, but it's actually not. In the real world in the film-within-a-film, the Flock, while animated by Blue Sky Studios and Framestore, are designed and rendered with a hand-drawn, "cartoony" CGI aesthetic stylized to match the classic 2D art style and character animation of the original Angry Birds games, resulting in a style similar to The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle, but very reminiscent of 2D animation.
 * Unstoppable Rage - Exaggerated. Baron Harmful goes on a sadistically violent rampage while Hulking Out during his Villainous Breakdown and his chimeric transformation and his acts of sadistic rage are far more dangerous than his battle against Eddie Valiant.
 * Parents Know Their Children - Chuck's mother and father, Lucy and Patrick respectively, immediately recognize him, whereas it takes him a few moments to realize who they are.
 * Pint-Sized Powerhouse - Bubbles is a small oriole, but cleverly uses Toon Phsyics to get rid of several toon villains as he performs an impressive series of Deadly Dodgings using Toon Physics against Lord Dominator, while being a Troll to her, who's using her fire and ice powers, making her hit Muttley, Fat Cat, Professor Norton Nimnul, Taurus Bulba, Boris Badenov, Voltura, and finally herself.
 * Product Placement - A prominent example is when 7-Eleven is seen in the middle of New York City, and Chuck immediately mentions Sprite, Fanta, and Mountain Dew Baja Blast. There's also plugs for KFC, Pizza Hut, Airheads, Pringles, Taco Bell, and Hershey's.
 * Bubbles is seen eating burgers delivered by Red Robin.
 * Plot-Mandated Friendship Failure - While describing the premise of a Buddy Picture, Chuck also lampshades this trope. This is followed by two diverging paths, one half for the rescue of the eggs and the other half for something unpredictible and fun. Bomb, Matilda, Hal, Melody, Terence, Tony, Red, Ruby, Dahlia, Willow, and Jay want to rescue the eggs, but Chuck, Bubbles, Poppy, Luca, Jake, Jim, Stella, Frost, Gale, and Silver, on the other hand, are already bored and want to have some fun. They argue a bit, but ultimately stick on the path of rescuing the eggs, causing Poppy to be bored out of her mind. It's later gloriously subverted in the third act when Hal imagines that his flock is gonna break up and disband and decides to stop this argument before it gets too heated. See Rousing Speech below. Chuck: Hey, Red? I got one question. Do you know that trope in almost every movie ever, where at the end of Act 2, a group of friends fight and argue about something dumb so much that they inadvertently break up the friendship that's going to last forever for five to ten minutes, usually because of a stupid misunderstanding, only to come back together when they realize none of them can do it without each other?
 * Rage Against the Author Bugs (Aghast): A live action adaptation of the Flock's show?! Why that screwy Hollywood doesn't know what they're talkin' about! Why, the big bunch'a joiks!
 * Red Eyes, Take Warning: Baron Harmful's eyes. Not only are the irises purely blood red and glow menancingly, but after his big reveal, they briefly turn into daggers, bulge out, and swirl.
 * The Reveal: Not only is Baron Harmful the reincarnation of Judge Doom, but he's also THE Baron von Rotten that got into such an onset accident that scrambled his brains.
 * Ret-Canon: The events of Roger Rabbit: The Resurrection of Doom have became canon, thanks to an live-action/animated Angry Birds film, as shown in Mighty Eagle's backstory about Judge Doom
 * Recycled Trailer Music: Certain cues from Heitor Pereira's The Angry Birds Movie score, Kenneth Burgomaster's Garfield Gets Real score, John Powell's Horton Hears A Who score, and Alan Silvestri's Who Framed Roger Rabbit score appear in the film. Heitor Pereira, Kenneth Burgomaster, John Powell, and Alan Silvestri were credited for their use.
 * Rage Breaking Point - When Edgar's piggy army corners the Flock, Hal reaches his anger limit, launches himself via slingshot, and goes berserk on the pigs. You can tell he got very angry at Edgar for doing that.
 * After realizing that Edgar is the cause of Baron Harmful's arrival, Bomb gets so pissed at him that he almost incinerated the castle in the literal flames of fury in his fuse.
 * When Red argues with Chuck after they realized that Baron Harmful is a reincarnation of Judge Doom, culminating with the latter calling Red "Eyebrows", Red finally shows him what he can do when he gets really angry, leading to him, Terence, Tony, Melody, and Ruby scuffling at Chuck, Jake, Jim, Silver, and Stella and even getting into a fist-fight with them.
 * Baron Harmful was already hellishly livid after the Flock return back to Piggy Island, but when the Flock reveal his true identity, the crow's rage explodes to the point of sheer insanity as he screams at his crowish minions to "TEAR THEM WING FROM WING!" It's clear that it doesn't matter what the Angry Birds are; Baron Harmful just wants all toons, including them, dead, full stop.
 * Reincarnation: Baron Harmful is Judge Doom, who melted in a flood of Dip and fatally dissolved into nothingness twice, leaving behind only his clothes, fake teeth, and rubber mask. With his spirit possessing a corpse of a crow from Crow Island, he was treated like a king by several crows.
 * Revenge: Due to being a reincarnation of Judge Doom, the motive of Baron Harmful is exacting vengeance against all toons for ruining his freeway plan and letting his old arch-enemy, Eddie Valiant, defeat him and clear Roger's name.
 * Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Baron Harmful goes batshit insane during his Villainous Breakdown, once Bomb and his flock start taunting and mocking him.
 * Reactive Continuous Scream - When Scarlett Johansson finds out Hal can talk.
 * Rivals Team Up - Oddly enough, Coop and Mr. Kat against Baron Harmful.
 * Roger Rabbit Effect - The beginning, the ending, and the sequence of the Flock got teleported to the real world, a genuine conversation between Scarlett Johansson and Hal, and them returning to Piggy Island with the help of Sofia Vergara and Eddie Murphy! It helps that all of the toons, especially the Flock, have CGI lighting and shading effects to achieve the effect.
 * The Flock, while animated in CG when they got transported into the real world, are detailed to appear as if they're traditionally animated, essentially presenting the characters like those in Looney Tunes: Back in Action or Who Framed Roger Rabbit, but using a Painted CGI technique to do so, similar to The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle and The Peanuts Movie, with the 3D models having thick hand-drawn outlines drawn on top of them to give a cartoony feel, as well as the use of 2D effects and textures, in contrast to their environment and the human characters, all of which are live-action.
 * Running Gagged - Outright stated to be the case with the frequent destruction of the Piggy Palace, which given the circumstances is likely permanent this time.
 * Rousing Speech: After the motivation that Scarlett Johannson gave him, Hal actually delivers a genuine inspirational speech before the ensuing argument between the members of Flock continues. At the end, even Bomb notes that the speech is moving and thanks him for rallying them up, and immediately tells the Flock to work together as a team. Hal: AHHHHHHH SHADDAP!! CAN'T YOU MATES SEE THAT YOUR CONSTANT FIGHTING IS ABOUT TO TEAR THIS FLOCK APART?! (pause) Shame on you! All of you! I thought we were in this thing together! I'm just as scared and angry as you are, but this mission has to be done! Look... I may not be the glue that holds you birds together, but I tell you mates what exactly needs fixing. I know the world ain’t all seltzer and slapstick. It’s a very mean and nasty place, not gonna lie. Don't get me wrong though, it's not about how hard we can hit. It’s about how hard we can get hit and keep moving forward. Now if we know what we're worth, we go out and get what we're worth, but we gotta be willing to take the hits! What do you say, do we want our arch-enemies to win? Heck no! We gotta do this! For... the toons and pigs! For... Piggy Island. For... the Eggs! Who's with me?
 * Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse have one when they are ready to train their fellow toons in the ways of combat and fortitude, after they've been freed by Bomb, so they can not only protect Toontown and themselves, but also join them in the fight to protect the Angry Birds and Piggy Island. Bugs Bunny: Aren't you all tired of just sitting there and wait until the steam clears to come out?
 * Sanity Slippage: Baron Harmful becomes increasingly annoyed as the Flock return to Piggy Island. What little patience he has is completely spent when they mock him, Harmful goes into a bout of Laughing Mad that unnerves even Terence when he gets hold of the golden egg.
 * Self-Deprecation: Warner Bros. loves to call themselves out for all the right reasons, meaning that they know how to take risks.
 * Shave and a Haircut: Like Who Framed Roger Rabbit, No Toon can resist the old "shave and a haircut" gag. It drives Toons (especially Roger Rabbit) absolutely insane to hear someone doing the knock and not finishing with the "two bits" at the end as they absolutely MUST complete the line if the "two bits" is omitted. Lampshaded by Baron Harmful and Edgar as the former knows how to use this to lure the Toons out of hiding in Hal's bunker.
 * Ship Tease: Eddy and Shareena Wickett in one scene, oddly enough.
 * There was also Mordecai and Twilight Sparkle in two scenes.
 * Shout-Out: There are dozens of these: Angry Birds, Golden Age cartoons, television animation, films based on cartoons (The SpongeBob Squarepants Movie, Clifford's Really Big Movie, Teacher's Pet: The Movie, The Chipmunk Adventure, Shaun the Sheep Movie, The Simpsons Movie, A Goofy Movie, Hey Arnold!: The Jungle Movie, Totally Spies! The Movie, Rugrats in Paris: The Movie, The Powerpuff Girls Movie, Regular Show: The Movie, Looney Tunes: Back in Action, Scooby-Doo and the Witch's Ghost, and The Peanuts Movie), video games, and Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
 * Droopy as the elevator operator for the second time in a feature film.
 * To the dueling pianos scene in Who Framed Roger Rabbit! Think about it! Two musicians, one on the left (Donald Duck and Muscle Man) and the other one on right (Daffy Duck and Luna Loud) dueling by playing Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 with a music instrument (Daffy and Donald with pianos and Luna Loud and Muscle Man with electric guitars).
 * When Garfield drinks a cup of coffee, his head does a lot of zany movements similar to the scene from Garfield Gets Real.
 * This movie has its own promo for THX. Just about everyone in the theater covers their ears with earmuffs as the trailer begins, knowing to expect loudness. At the end, an announcer says "The Audience is Listening."
 * Chuck going into bullet time to distract Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale brings to mind Quicksilver's famous scenes from X-Men: Days of Future Past and X-Men: Apocalypse and his most famous scene from the Angry Birds Movie.
 * The face Pinkie makes when she cries looks very familiar to that other times she cried in "Elements of Harmony" and "Baby Cakes".
 * How the Flock got into the real world and crashed through a national monument (which is the Statue of Liberty) is a reference to a Roger Rabbit short, Trail Mix-Up
 * The DVD menu is a spot-on homage to the Shrek 2 DVD Menu
 * This scene from Cue Ball Cat is referenced when Chuck and Red begin duking it out.
 * When Luna Loud and Muscle Man continue dueling and playing Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2, Muscle Man momentarily changes the tune with On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe, like the 1947 Tom and Jerry short, The Cat Concerto.
 * When Hal launches himself from the slingshot and uses his boomerang ability, this scene is a reference to the fan video, Hungry Hungry Piggies
 * When they see that the Eggs are stolen by Baron Harmful, the Flock (sans Bomb and Chuck) react to similar fashion in an Oggy and the Cockroaches episode, Greenpeace
 * While looking for a movie to watch at the hotel in real world, Chuck tells Bomb that he will watch Curly Sue, Looney Tunes: Back in Action, The Angry Birds Movie, etc, but Jim refuses to watch the 2003 Cat in the Hat movie because "that movie is desthpicable!"
 * When the Flock set sail and begin their mission to search for more birds at the Birdhamas, they sing this little gem
 * The scene where Hal screams, only to stop himself, clear his throat, while drinking water before resuming is a reference to Looney Tunes: Back in Action. Also this scene when Chuck says this: Sell all our Cartoon Network stock! We got an inside tip that WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!
 * The Flock react to the Dip being revived by Edgar, and later added into Baron Harmful's sapphire bombs is similar to how their eggs got stolen in the cinematic trailer in Angry Birds Space
 * The way Terence begins a Metronomic Man Mashing on one of the crows is reference to the Avengers.
 * Even Chuck's reaction to the newly revived Dip is a spot-on similarity to Jessica Rabbit's reaction to the Dip in Who Framed Roger Rabbit
 * After the Flock are saved from their darkest hour, Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse come in with a calvary as a reference of this commercial
 * When the Flock return to Piggy Island about ready to defeat Edgar and his piggy mooks, Bomb, Chuck, and Red performs a limerick similar to Wanda's limerick in The Fairly OddParents episode, The Big Bash.
 * When Marie Kanker goes completely into a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown on the crows picking on Edd, her triggered expression is a reference to Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy's Hanky Panky Hullaballo.
 * Saying Too Much: Baron Harmful accidentally reveals to Edgar and all of the toons that he is Judge Doom reincarnated.
 * Sir Swears-a-Lot: Baron Harmful also swears in one scene mentioned below.
 * Sickly Green Glow: The Dip, as it makes a dreaded return.
 * Scooby-Dooby Doors: When Baron Harmful chases the flock through the columns of his blimp.
 * Small Role, Big Impact: Scarlett Johansson is in the movie for a few minutes, and she helps Hal to develop further.
 * Smug Snake: Baron Harmful
 * Stealth Insult: The third teaser trailer goes from praising movies based on cartoons that are considered good by fans at first, as posters of The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie and its sequel, The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, My Little Pony: The Movie, The Peanuts Movie, The TransFormers: The Movie, The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle, Mr. Peabody and Sherman, Looney Tunes: Back in Action, Popeye (1980), George of the Jungle (1997), The Flintstones (1994), The Powerpuff Girls Movie, Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island, Hey There, It's Yogi Bear!, Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo, Garfield Gets Real, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990), The Rugrats Movie, etc., are shown at a museum, and then concludes that this film will be what finally "ends" the godawful stupid pandering "family" movies that are in live action with the cartoon they're adapting in badly done CGI for good.
 * Sound-Effect Bleep - Baron Harmful gets mad at Edgar Baconhooves because the Flock returns to Piggy Island and unleashes a string of bleeped out obscenities.
 * Stock Sound Effects: Unlike most recent outings with the classic cartoons, Archival recordings of William Hanna for Tom and Jerry, Mel Blanc for Captain Caveman's iconic yell, K-9, Dino, and Woody Woodpecker's laugh, Don Messick for Muttley's wheezing laugh, Wally Maher for Screwy Squirrel's laugh, Bill Melendez's vocal effects for Snoopy and Woodstock are reused for this movie.
 * The Stinger/That's All, Folks!: Steven Universe comes up and says it when the mid-credits end, but then Garfield shows up to say it himself with the stutter, Porky Pig shows up and protests, Squidward and Daffy Duck interrupt and try to say it their way, but the Flock (sans Bomb), the Toons and the Pigs knock them down and say it, with Bugs Bunny saying "And dat's de end!". Bomb then appears, saying to the audience, "Now you can all go home, laddies."
 * At the very end of the movie, there is a brief video of Yakko Warner and Chuck telling the viewers that absolutely no toons were harmed during the making of the movie, followed by Cosmo declaring that he got a paper cut and Tom and Jerry chasing each other, and Yakko and Chuck bidding the audience good night with Chuck hooting with laughter before cutting to the ending logos.
 * Stock Subtitle: In the DVD and Blu-ray menu, Chuck asks why the movie is named Angry Birds X: The Fine-Feathered Movie before launching into a list of various titles parodying various Hollywood films that heavily feature the Flock themselves, like "Day of the Bullfinch", "Bomb's Revenge", "A Cardinal Will Rise", "The Fellowship of the Eggs", "Dead Chicken's Society", "The Goldfinch King", "2 Fast 2 Goldfinch", and "Flock Reloaded". This soon gets on everyone else's nerves. Chuck even made a jab at the 2016 Angry Birds Movie, much to the Flock's surprise. Chuck: Or "Angry Birds X... The REAL Angry Birds Movie?!"
 * Stop Faux-tion: Pingu, Wallace, Gromit, Morph, Gumby and Shaun are stop-motion characters created using CGI, with Wallace, Shaun, Morph, and Gromit surprisingly done by Aardman themselves.
 * Sudden Video-Game Moment: Justified. Since that this is an "Angry Birds" movie, after all. It has a scene when The Flock got their slingshot and is ready to take down Baron Harmful and Edgar Baconhooves, in which the characters are viewed as they are in the classic Angry Birds slingshot games, they even emulate the style.
 * Squashed Flat: Baron Harmful gets flattened by Terence before he fuses with the golden egg.
 * Tagline: "Best as an angry flock, better as an angrier flock"
 * "If you think this is another crummy live-action/CGI remake of your beloved cartoon, then you thought wrong!"
 * "Pain is temporary, anger is forever."
 * "Best as a flock, worst separate."
 * "What happens in Piggy Island stays in Piggy Island."
 * "When it comes to saving their island, it helps to be a big flock."
 * "Get ready for some angry business."
 * "The cartoon movie to end all live action cartoon remakes."
 * Take That!: At one point, Poppy inserts a music cassette into her portable radio while the Flock are sailing on their boat, which is Jake Paul's "It's Everyday Bro", much to the entire Flock's annoyance and Chuck's fury. Chuck immediately takes it out of the radio and throws it to oblivion.
 * It also calls Disney out for making live action remakes of their animated films, and it even savagely calls Hollywood out for making unfaithful live action adaptations of cartoons.
 * In one deleted scene, The Flock visit the Uncanny Valley side of Toontown in the flashback (In-Universe, as it's literally called that and pokes fun at it), where Nickelodeon's infamous claymation kids in one of their idents and those weird animation styles that looked real or surreal, but nothing EVER looks right, being openly mocked.
 * Throughout the beginning, Bomb, Matilda, Red, The Blues, and Chuck start insulting bad movie directors, i.e. Raja Gosnell, M. Night Shyamalan, David Kellong, and Michael Bay.
 * Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar, Linda Cardellini, and Matthew Lillard regretting they ever did Scooby-Doo and its sequel.
 * Scooby-Doo chastising Raja Gosnell for making a live action/CGI adaptation of his cartoon.
 * Bomb making a well-deserved roast on Raja Gosnell.
 * Tempting Fate - When Baron Harmful stating that "a certain detective" has taken away something that will be of great value to him, then he shall take something of great value to them as well, Chuck is not concerned at first, saying that there is no such thing that he can take that they care about, but when he, Bomb, Jay, Matilda, and Red look at the nest, they notice that The Eggs were gone, much to their shock. It is then revealed Harmful has indeed taken something of great value from them; The Eggs.
 * As soon as the Flock crash into the Statue of Liberty, Chuck says "It's not like it's the end of the world."... right before the Flock realize they're in the real world.
 * Right after Jake Spidermonkey says that Toontown should be okay as they don't appear to have any major risks, Baron Harmful then adds that Toontown will be dipped off the face of the earth in the Flock's second darkest hour. Dexter, Roger Rabbit, and Amethyst glare at him.
 * That Was Not a Dream: Gumball was shocked at first that Baron Harmful was actually Judge Doom, but calmly states it's so scary it must be a dream. Garfield and Chowder come by and explain it isn't, and then Gumball screams.
 * This Cannot Be! - When Baron Harmful sees the Flock have returned to Piggy Island, he says “Utterly impossible!”
 * Thousand-Yard Stare - After Baron Harmful has stolen the Eggs, Chuck stares in horrified silence, along with borrowing one of Daffy Duck's catchphrases.
 * Truer to the Text: Compared to The Angry Birds Movie 2 one year later, this one is more faithful to the Angry Birds games, while also staying true to the source material of the cartoon it's based on.
 * This Means War!: Luna Loud and Muscle Man's "dueling guitars" set piece at the All-Toon Companionship Festival involves a staged fight which culminates in Luna Loud slamming her guitar over the latter's head, knocking out Muscle Man. Muscle Man says this line, "You know who else says this means war, MY MOM!!!", and the competition heats up from there.
 * Toon Town: Due to being the spiritual successor to Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
 * Toon: Just about almost EVERY SINGLE TOON THAT LIVES IN TOONTOWN!! They can range from humans (like Dan and Lincoln Loud), anthropomorphic animals (like Spongebob Squarepants, Mickey Mouse, and Bugs Bunny), extraterrestrial creatures (like Wander, the Crystal Gems, and Sylvia), mythical beings (like Cosmo and Wanda), etc.
 * Took a Level in Badass: Pretty much, every single toon who’s not capable of combat while retaining their characteristics, i.e. Garfield, Chowder, Flapjack, etc.
 * Took a Level in Kindness: Yosemite Sam, of all people, stands up for the birds when Plotz is about to give them the boot again. Even normally antagonistic characters like Cecil Turtle, Gossamer, The Mad Doctor, Jasper, Marvin the Martian, Lord Hater, Mr. Kat, Commander Peepers, Mandark, the Nerdlucks, Claudette Dupri, Hector Con Carne, Bluto, The Red Guy, Eris, Winslow, Rancid Rabbit, the Kanker Sisters, Zim, Wile E. Coyote, the Greaser Dogs, and later General Skarr, whom was revealed to be a Fake Defector of Baron Harmful's team, are more heroic and much friendlier here than they usually are.
 * After he decided to be a hero after defeating Django of the Dead and saving his family in The Good, The Bad, and The Tigre, Manny Rivera becomes more heroic than he is in his own show.
 * Bloo's back to his old character roots before the post-Season 1 events in Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.
 * He is already heroic, but Scrappy-Doo has thankfully and gracefully went back to his more mature, more friendly, sensitive, observant, and less annoying ways, like how the late Don Messick portrayed him.
 * Despite being who she is portrayed in Mike, Lu & Og, Lu is a teensy bit kinder to Lancelot than she was in Mike, Lu & Og.
 * Michigan J. Frog, of all toons, even sings Hello My Baby with The Blues to help the Flock stall Baron Harmful's minions.
 * While retaining his will to never give up on love, Pepe Lé Pew's Stalker with a Crush tendencies are replaced with a flirty personality more akin to Charles Boyer, with some shades of Maurice Chevalier. Likewise, he no longer harasses Penelope Pussycat, Miss Mam'selle Hepzibah, or Claudette Dupri like he did to the former in the original Looney Tunes shorts. He even made himself dainty to get rid of his odor, as he is shown to be aware that she can't stand his skunk odor, much to the grateful relief to Penelope Pussycat.
 * This Is Gonna Suck: When The Flock see Baron Harmful transforming into a chimeric toon monster after he harnesses the golden egg's power, their response truly says it all.

Hal: Uh... squawk?
 * Trailer Spoof: Three teaser trailers did this for the movie:
 * The first teaser trailer pretended to be one for a Who Framed Roger Rabbit sequel — until the person that dressed like Eddie Valiant turned out to be the Flock in a trenchcoat and fedora. Considering that they only have already shown the Amblin Entertainment logo in the beginning, that helps the effect.
 * The second teaser trailer built the film up to look like a sequel of The Angry Birds Movie, complete with a voice over and text, before being revealed to be what it truly is, while also resembling the teaser trailer of The Rugrats Movie, but instead of appearing to be for a horror movie along the lines of Gremlins or Poltergeist, it appears to be for a comedic adventure movie with a dark Tarzan-like feel... until near the end.
 * The third teaser trailer included a documentary-style opening with the narrator praising movies based on cartoons that are considered good by fans, whether it be fully animated or live-action/animated hybrid, ranging from Hey There, It's Yogi Bear to The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle. He concludes by asking "What do these films have in common?", before the narrator being revealed to be Bomb, doing a Dom LaFontaine impression, as he answers this, "Because they stayed faithful to the source material."
 * Slasher Smile: At first Baron Harmful only tends to normally smile evilly, then after the Flock infiltrated his blimp, he finally sports a horrendously sinister one, thinking of the fun he'll have dipping those birds when he captured them.
 * Toon Transformation: Mr. Bean has becomes a 2D animated character in upon being invited to Piggy Island's All-Toon Companionship Festival. He remains in this form.
 * Villains Never Lie: The only redeeming quality Baron Harmful has is that he truly never lies, except when he tries to hide the fact that he is a reincarnated Judge Doom.
 * Villainous Breakdown: The Flock is one of only a mere handful of toons, other than Roger Rabbit, to drive Baron Harmful mad as he slowly begins to lose all sense of restraint and sanity and becomes increasingly irritated when the Flock return back to Piggy Island and his efforts to stop them backfire immensely, cursing as he does so (with the swears bleeped out by cartoon sound effects) It gets even worse when he looks at all of the toons have freed from their cages (thanks to Bomb's Shockwave ability, naturally).
 * After Edgar defies his plan of dipping Toontown and Piggy Island off the face of the earth, Baron Harmful inadvertently blurts out that he IS a reincarnated Judge Doom and accidentally shows his Nightmare Face, showing how callous, genocidal, ruthless, violent, hateful, insane and cruel he really is.
 * Once his true identity revealed, all thanks to Red, Harmful becomes absolutely livid and attempts to murder the Flock on the spot with his cartoon physics, subsequently losing any semblance of restraint on his sadistic insanity throughout the rest of the movie. If anything, having his true identity revealed only drives his fury to the point of insanity. After that, he slowly becomes less sane, calm, and cunning and more sadistic, dangerous, vengeful, insane, monstrous, and malicious when each of the Flock start taunting him about how he's ironically a toon that wants to commit complete genocide on his own race for sheer greed and sadism. The crow lividly orders his minions to knock down the Flock and gets even more hellishly DERANGED and attempts to "have ALL of the Angry Birds in his teeth" with sheer psychopathic malice once he gets hold of the Golden Egg.
 * He suffers a fourth one, but way more sadistic to the point where he starts flailing and screaming like a childishly demonic madman, while he rapidly shifts into various giant and monstrous versions of villainous toons when Hal and the Blues switched the real eggs with egg shaped rocks and removed all, but one, of his dip bombs by washing them off with water. He even goes as far as to trying to strangle Bomb's fuse out of anger as he screams that he doesn't care how strong their anger can be, he'll gather more crows and never stop trying to wipe Piggy Island and Toontown off the face of the earth. He is that hellbent on imprisoning the Flock, eating the eggs, and dipping Toontown off the Earth once and for all, so hellbent that he doesn't care about the freeway anymore. He finally screams for his life when he begins to melt into a smear of paint, and this time killing him for good.
 * Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: Baron Harmful, a crow reincarnation of Judge Doom, is arguably one of the darkest villains in a live-action/animated hybrid film featuring the Angry Birds
 * Voluntary Shapeshifting: When fused with the Golden Egg, Baron Harmful can transform into almost anything, including a toon/crow/dragon hybrid or even a chimeric toon monster. He seems to lose control of this ability when he gets really mad, though.
 * Walking Spoiler: Knowing too much about him reveals that Baron Harmful is Judge Doom reincarnated as the new overlord of Crow Island, this is really a surprise for people familiar with Judge Doom.
 * Toon Physics: The movie has some fun with it too.
 * Wild Take: There's a definite Tex Avery influence in this movie.
 * You Can Talk?: Scarlett Johannson has the reaction to Hal when Scarlett Johannson asks Hal if this seat is taken and Hal said no. Hal's response:


 * You Don't Look Like You: Most obviously, Ralph Wolf is shorter in height (shorter in height than Wile E. Coyote), scruffier-looking, and has furrier back legs, darker grey coat, furrier cheeks, a more wolf-like tail, reddish white eyes, and no fur on his feet, which his Wile E. Coyote-esque design is just his costume.
 * You Just Had to Say It: The Flock have this reaction after Chuck's Tempting Fate moment.
 * You Monster!: Bomb says this to Baron Harmful when he says that he's more of a freeway person.
