Angry Birds X: The Fine-Feathered Movie/Tropes/YMMV


 * And You Thought It Would Fail: When the trailers came out, critics are mixed with this film and most believed it would be nothing more beyond a rip-off to both The Angry Birds Movie and Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Few people could have predicted it would turn out to be a fantastic film adaptation of a cartoon with stellar hand-drawn animation, unique blend of animation and live-action, hillarious Tex Avery-esque slapstick humor, unforgettable characters, an engaging plot, and a brilliant deconstruction of certain tropes. By the time of the film's release, it received critically acclaimed reviews, gaining a 95% on Rotten Tomatoes, and did exceptionally well at the box office.
 * Awesome Art: Seriously, LOOK AT THE THING!!! Richard Williams and Eric Goldberg did an incredible job with the hand-drawn animation on the Flock in the live-action scenes.
 * He Really Can Act: The voice actors' performances as The Flock are phenomenal, especially Jim Cummings as Hal, Curtis Armstrong as Red, and John DiMaggio as Bomb.
 * Tim Curry is surprising great as Baron Harmful.
 * Signature Scene: Many.
 * The prologue.
 * The conversation between Hal and Scarlett Johansson.
 * Bomb and the Flock launching themselves with a slingshot.
 * Baron Harmful getting what assumed to be the Eggs and attempting to eat them, only to find out that they're egg shaped rocks painted to look like the flock's Eggs and the real eggs to have been cleverly saved by Hal.
 * Visual Effects of Awesome: While few of the designs themselves fall somewhat under Uncanny Valley, the integration of the Flock into live action itself when they got transported to the real world works pretty damn well as they are very nicely implemented into the live-action environment.
 * All the animation was done by Toon Boom Harmony, and then sent off to Sony Pictures Imageworks to be optically composited, along with separately-animated shadows and highlights, into the live-action footage!
 * All of the effects are either practical or provides by Sony Pictures Imageworks: every single prop or piece of scenery being manipulated by a toon, from the piano playing to something as innocuous as a toon lifting a drink to their mouth, required either highly-skilled puppeteers or a machine invented solely for that movement to be placed on-set as a stand-in for the non-existent toon!
