Angry Birds X

Angry Birds X (Also known as Steven Spielberg Presents Angry Birds X, working title being Angry Birds: The Series) is an American-Finnish animated series based on the video game series, Angry Birds, for Cartoon Network. Sporting a new animation style, Angry Birds X serves as a comedic yet adventurous adaptaion to the Angry Birds franchise with a few changes. The show first premiered on Cartoon Network on December 11, 2013, as a 5-part television film. Unlike Angry Birds Toons, The Flock and The Bad Piggies talk. In Season 5, they added all Angry Birds Evolution characters (except Shirley, due to being a character from the Angry Birds Movie franchise) in the show as minor characters or supporting characters. The series concluded with a television film on April 16, 2020

Plot
The series takes place on an village inhabited by birds who are pleasant and kind, who know something of the outside world. They treasure 203 eggs (3 eggs as of season 2) above all else, and are all carefree and easygoing, except for Hal, Chuck, Red, Stella, The Blues, Terence, Bubbles and Bomb. Bomb is a grouchy, grumpy curmudgeon who has had a big heart, but a literal short fuse from the very beginning. Eventually, his explosive disorders become too much and he is sentenced to Matilda's anger management courses, despite being proven innocent.

The birds are suddenly visited by green pigs, who are dumb but funny. The birds and pigs befriend each other, but Bomb and his flock are suspicious with four pigs, Edgar Baconhooves, Marf, Gramps, and Frank, and never trust them at all. Ultimately, one of the most beloved conflicts in video game history is reignited when Edgar Baconhooves and his minions reveal their true colours by stealing their eggs and eating them, and leads to Bomb and King Matthew Smoothcheeks II leading the entire flock and pigs in a maddening frenzy of rightful retaliation as well as to make the impossible choice to put aside their differences and forge an permanent alliance against Edgar and save the eggs and the Pigs’ home. Ever since they permanently put their differences aside and form a companionship, Bomb has now achieved “hero" status on Piggy Island, a medal of leadership he wears proudly as the Flock and the Bad Piggies go on epic adventures, guarding the eggs, going on adventurous journeys, and saving the eggs from Edgar Baconhooves and his mooks, whom joined a team of exiled pigs called the "Bad Piggies", led by King Julian Matthew Smoothcheeks I, and are thriving to keep the Great Egg War going.

Each episode's plot featured characters and situations based upon the Angry Birds franchise, as well as several sound effects and musical cues from the games. Despite being based on the games, it featured some creative liberties between the show and the video games. For example, in the show, Red receives two permanent powers, whereas he hasn't have any in the game until Red's Mighty Feathers, Bomb being the leader of the Flock instead of Red, and the Flock magically gaining flight after being launched by the slingshot. Like the Looney Tunes, Animaniacs, and Tiny Toon Adventures, this series makes use of cartoon violence (e.g. anvils falling on someone, liberal use of explosives) and slapstick.

The Flock

 * Bomb (voiced by John DiMaggio) - Bomb is a Greater Antillean Bullfinch with a "fuse" on top of his head and has the ability to cause explosions at will. Bomb has clear anger issues, to the point where he can be a big grouch at times. But this doesn't stop him from being a brave and dedicated leader to his flock, and Bomb can still be charming despite his anger issues.
 * Red (voiced by Curtis Armstrong) - Red is a Northern Cardinal. He usually is very level-headed and relaxed, though he does struggle with anger issues from time to time. He is a very dedicated member to Bomb's flock, as well as a very loyal friend to him and to the flock and guardians of the eggs. By the end of the season one finale, Bomb makes Red the co-leader of the group.
 * Chuck (voiced by William Salyers) - Chuck is a Pilliated Woodpecking American Goldfinch who can move incredibly fast, to the point of even slowing down time. He is also known for most of the mature jokes, and says "A family cartoon!" when someone else tells a dirty, rude, gross joke. He is incredibly cartoony, to the point of seeming wacky and crazy. Chuck tends to be a bit ignorant when it comes to the strategy and anger of the Angry Birds, but he's still a vital member of the flock. Chuck can lose control when it comes to his goofy antics, but his heart is always in the right place, which is something his flock truly understands. What Chuck lacks in strength, he more than makes up for with speed, combat skills, anger and loads of cartoon logic.
 * The Blues (voiced by (Jay), Eric Bauza (Jake), and Ben Schwartz (Jim)) - The Blues are a trio of Mountain Bluebirds with big hearts and even bigger appetites. They are very mischievous birds, often getting into trouble for pranks at the other birds. They have a very close bond with each other, almost always finishing each other's sentences. They can be very intelligent and cunning, and use this feature to get out of situations they find themselves in. They are extremely gifted in constructing contraptions, though this talent usually goes to fooling the pigs. Jay, being the leader and the oldest triplet, is very brainy, intelligent, confident, and is the one that comes up with these crazy ideas for their pranks and instructs and gives out plans for his brothers. Jake, the middle triplet, is the scatterbrain of the trio, not the brightest, but undeniably way more mischievous and laid-back while also being goofily charismatic. Jim, despite being the youngest of the three and being extremely talkative, due to being very energetic, to the point of never seeming to know when to stop talking, which continuously forced Jay to interrupt him.
 * Matilda (voiced by Deedee Magno) - Matilda is a white Chicken with rosy cheeks that serves as the medic of the group. She loves nature and always seeks peaceful solutions to problems. She is a very peaceful bird herself, and has since learned the error of the ways of an angry bird. Now she makes it her duty to keep the good vibes going at all times. She enjoys cooking, fine arts, and gardening. She sees the good in anything, even the little things in life. Matilda’s so optimistic that she even looks for the best in her own flock and the pigs.
 * Hal (voiced by Jim Cummings with an Austrailian accent) - Hal is an intelligent, no-nonsense, yet easy-going Emerald Toucanet who is the voice of reason and straight man of the show. Hal is a inventor, intellect and gadgeteer with a vast knowledge of almost any subject. Hal is shown as a very mature character and the nobel center that holds the Flock together. He is shown to have a deep love for the pleasures in life, showing that he does emotional healing for others. He is a rather adventerous bird. He finds no desire to be filled with anger, yet usually takes place in any of the bird's fights with the pigs. Hal’s focus on the logical and rational can sometimes make him a little socially awkward, but, knowing he’s the smartest bird in the flock makes him funny and charming, when he wants to be.
 * Stella (voiced by Nicole Sullivan) - Stella is an eternally tomboyish and bright Bourke's Parakeet. Stella dislikes being addressed by her full name, Estella Rose Parakeet. Thanks to her optimistic nature, she has become one of the finest members of the Flock. She may look beautiful, but those pigs shouldn't be fooled. If they push her too far, she'll soon reveal her blazing-hot temper. She is a responsible, athletic girl that serves as the "tomboy" of the group.
 * Terence (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson, with his grunting provided by Heljä Heikkinen) - Terence is a large Northern Cardinal who is the owner of his diner, Ter's, and Red's big brother with a grumpy appearance. He prefers to grunt sometimes, but he makes what he says count, 'cause when he talks it's to say something important. Starting with The Big Setup, after Red freed him from a pile of stone bricks, Terence becomes his protector whenever needed. He sometimes moves around Weeping Angel style, disappearing and reappearing elsewhere only when other characters aren't looking at him. In season 2, Terence adopted an orphaned hatchling daughter, Zoe
 * Bubbles (voiced by ) - Bubbles is a small inflatable Bullock's Oriole hatchling who is naïve and curious. Like The Blues, he is mischievous and fun-loving. His biggest loves are staying positive, and candy! Bubbles always has a big smile on his face. It fits perfectly when celebrating a victorious battle or someone's bird-day, and if they're discussing a new strategy for protecting the eggs and one of the birds is smiling gleefully from ear to ear, it's frankly adorable.
 * Mighty Eagle (voiced by Peter Cullen) - The Mighty Eagle is a wise, compassionate, proud, brave, and mighty bald eagle who was originally feared by the Flock since Bomb, Red, and Chuck was very afraid to go ask him for assistance. But as time progressed, the Flock began to be less afraid of Mighty now. He likes to tell stories with moral lessons to the flock, he likes to go out of his cave, and goes fishing. Mighty Eagle used to be one of the greatest heroes of the war with the pigs, but one harrowing incident sent him into self-imposed exile on a mountaintop. On his watch, the pigs were able to steal the eggs, and Mighty Eagle's failure to protect them shamed him so much that he retreated into solitude. He only invites the Flock, and the Pigs, go inside his cave for parties and special occasions. He is sometimes great at fishing. He is fair in his duties as a guardian of the Flock. Mighty is also the eldest, strongest, and wisest of all the birds.
 * Ruby (voiced by Kari Wahlgren voice-matching Nicole Jaffe) - Ruby is a sharp-tongued, sassy, focused, inquisitive Summer Tanager. Hilariously overdramatic and lovingly snarky, Ruby is the most fabulous Angry Bird of them all. She has a no-nonsense, efficient, organized, sardonic, and feisty nature. Like Red, Ruby is also blessed and cursed with a gift for anger, though in a literally fiery way. But for her, it's her independence that can solve complex equations and troubling situations in the blink of an eye. She is usually calm and easy-going, but can become dangerous when provoked and annoyed over-the-line. She is constantly annoyed by Edgar's egg-stealing antics.
 * Bounci (voiced by Ernie Sabella) - Bounci is a slow, but big hearted Loon.
 * Melody (voiced by Annie Murphy) - Melody is a melodious and friendly Common Potoo. Having grown up in a musical nest, jazz is the sound of home for Melody. She cares deeply for her friends and family, and is actually slow to anger, but when she gets upset, she expresses herself through song to devastating effect. When she starts singing at the top of her lungs, anything that isn’t nailed down may get inhaled, only to be shot out like a bullet when she gets to the chorus.
 * Silver (voiced by Cristina Pucelli) - Silver is the goofy, happy-go-lucky, and zanier falcon who makes the Flock laugh with her goofy sense of humor which she inheritted from the piggies. She is wild and hyperactive. She is Chuck's childhood best friend. She is depicted as the comedian of the Flock, with most of her dialogue consisting of good puns that amuse her flock.
 * Frost (voiced by Tom Kenny) - Frost (real name Izzac Frosh) is an extraterrestrial ice cube-shaped bird who can be serious when the Pigs stole the eggs, but tells bad jokes but he has a great sense of humor and a slight lisp. Frost is cool, collected and wise. He is very alien-like due to being from space. Ergo, he knows how things work on Earth most of the time. As a result, he is often fun-loving, yet observant, but seen as the voice of reason when tension rises.
 * Tony (voiced by Gary Schwartz) - Tony is a Blue-Gray Tanager and Terence's cousin from Finland. Tony is the polar opposite of Terence. While Terence is grumpy, Tony is jovial. Terence also has a close connection with Tony, who he works together with.

Stella's Friends

 * Dahlia (voiced by Mindy Cohn) — Dahlia is a Great Horned Owl. She is intelligent, and likes science and technology. She often stays up at daytime and sleeps at night, and this is easy for her, due to being the only owl who sleeps at night and stays up at day. She pretty much became the leader of the Golden Island birds after Stella left. She is shown to be a busybody owl and creator of Golden Island's no-law rule.
 * Poppy (voiced by Michaela Dietz) — Poppy is a goofy and comedic prankster Lutino Cockatiel who has a passion for playing on percussion instruments. The most important good thing about her is that she doesn't get too carried away on playing the drums. She also cares for everyone, like her and Willow helping Stella overcome her fear of flying. She likes and enjoys being noisy. Poppy was a bit jealous of Chuck when they first met, but they seem to get along now. Poppy is wild, mischievous and crazy as a coconut. She lives life in the fast lane and loves acting the comedian to make the other birds laugh. Sometimes her practical jokes go a little too far, but friends always forgive her in the end, because that's what friends do.
 * Gale (voiced by Yvonne Orji with a Mid-Atlantic accent) — Gale is a Violet-Backed Starling who rules Golden Island. She can be vain, demanding, melodramatic, and seductive, but she is caring and nurturing around her friends. She has a motherly figure towards Luca. Gale seems to have a fondness for golden flowers, since she has two golden flowers that she takes care of in her room. She appears to be nonchalant to most things. She hates it when somebody steals her golden egg necklace or when someone threatens Stella, that'll make her go on a furious rampage. She seems to have a fear of being turned into gold.
 * Luca (voiced by Kath Soucie) — Luca is a Scrub Jay hatchling. He is small and cute, but he can be a bit.. kooky. He can yell really loud when he's upset, angry, or when his friends are threatened. He sees Willow as a big sister. He's also pretty fond of Chuck. Luca thinks he's bigger than he really is - a fact that has got him into trouble a few times already! While he doesn't talk much, he certainly does like imitating everyone and everything around him. He can sound like any of birds, pigs, or even any of the island's critters and he really enjoys doing it.
 * Willow (voiced by Shannon Chan-Kent) — Willow is a very shy, creative, and artistic Victoria Crowned Pigeon. She often wears a yellow and red striped hat. She has colorful feathers on top of her head, but it's unknown if these colorful feathers on her forehead are actually her feathers or not. She takes care of nature and the critters, as she helps the critters break free. She mostly takes care of Luca like a little brother. She is an caretaker for critters and animals.

The Pigs

 * Matthew / King Matthew Mudbeard-Smoothcheeks II (Brian Doyle-Murray) — King Matthew Mudbeard Smoothcheeks II is a large pig with a crown on his head. He may be slightly childish, snotty, a bit pompous, and gluttonous, but he is also healthy, mildly intelligent and selfless. His kind heart is also very big, often wanting to be a better king than his brother.
 * Leonard / King Mudbeard Jr. (Bill Hader) — Leonard is the former ruler of Piggy Island and Matthew's father. He teaches Matthew what being a king of Piggy Island is supposed to do, take good care of the minion pigs, and how the king is responsible for protecting and maintaining the delicate balance of the ecosystem, mediate problems between its creatures, keeping the peace between the birds and pigs, and to make sure that pigs remain as the alpha species on Piggy Island.
 * Ross (Charlie Adler) — Ross is Matthew's right hand pig. He's not the smartest pig of the bunch, but will always try to do things right. He approaches his job with great enthusiasm. Whether serving as a piggy diplomat greeting the birds with warm hugs or attempting to operate contraptions like zip lines and escalators, Ross is usually doing it with a silly smile on his face and a perky curl on his tail. On the other hand, Ross is shown to be trusty and fun-loving when doing a dance-off or doing whatever others like
 * Corporal Richard Pigman (Richard Steven Horvitz) — Corporal Richard is a militaristic pig who wears a helmet with an ace of spades playing card. He reveres King Pig and likes to treat others and the minion pigs like soldiers.
 * Foreman Nigel Piglington — Nigel is a foreman with a bright orange bushy moustache who is in charge of the construction projects. He occasionally leads the charge for protecting the eggs when Corporal Pig isn't doing so.
 * Professor Mario Pigsworth (Bill Hader) — Professor Mario Pigsworth is a professor pig who always has something smart to say. Everyone asks him many questions, and he was never ever tired of only knowing simple stuff.
 * Minion Pigs (Pierre Coffin, Eric Bauza, Billy West, Yoann Perrier, Brian Drummond, Trevor Devall, Bob Bergen, Janice Kawaye, Rob Paulsen, Tara Strong, Tabitha St. Germain, archival recordings of Mel Blanc, Maurice LaMarche, and Jeff Bennett) — Minion Pigs are dimwitted pigs with strong hillbilly accents who dutifully serve the King, even when they would want to have some fun, as King Smoothcheeks allows fun on Piggy Island. As a group, they're a competent and reliable work force, having constructed an entire city for their kind. Most pigs have many different occupations
 * Chronicler Doug Piggerstein (Brian Fisher) — Doug is one of the wisest and oldest pigs at Pig City.  He came acrosses the Flock's well being and, though absent-minded, pompous, and judgemental at first, is shown to be caring, welcoming, friendly, and possesses all of the good qualities of the stereotypical chronicler. He is also a kind and didactic speaker. He often praises and/or rants about modern television shows that are good or bad and about how things were better back in his day.
 * King Leonard Mudbeard Sr. (Benjamin Bratt) — King Leonard Mudbeard Sr. is the former ruler of Piggy Island, Matthew's grandfather, and Leonard's father.

Antagonists

 * Chef Edgar Baconhooves (Jason Isaacs voice-matching and Stefan Karl Steffanson) — Chef Edgar Baconhooves is the main villain who continuously formulates feckless schemes in stealing the eggs. Edgar is the current leader of the Bad Piggy Empire. Chef Edgar was originally born to two loving parents. His father just so happened to be a chef, and taught him how to cook. Everybody laughed at his full name. When he first sees eggs when he was a piglet, they destroyed his first bit of sanity and made him go crazy with hunger. In Angry Birds X: The Fine-Feathered Movie, Edgar gradually begins to change his ways before and after being betrayed by Baron Harmful.
 * Marf (Lee Tockar) — Marf is a dimwitted, talkative, and naive pig. He is a food addict and spends most of the time drinking soft drinks and stealing eggs. Marf is an mentally handicapped and hyperactive pig. Marf speaks in a somewhat high pitched voice with a Brooklyn accent and fast pace.
 * Frank (Neil Crone) — Frank is the aggressive and short-tempered pig who wears a helmet. Frank is the grumpy and brutal one of the group. He is very greedy and his hobbies consist of bullying the other pigs and eating.
 * Julian / King Julian Matthew Mudbeard-Smoothcheeks I (James Spader) — King Smoothcheeks I is the overarching antagonist and the former ruler of Piggy Island who is the villainous brother of King Matthew Smoothcheeks, of whom he is the exact opposite of him. He got exiled to a island filled with boars by the Mighty Eagle where he shaves his beard and grows out his moustache. King Smoothcheeks I is the commander of the Bad Piggy Empire as he is ultimately the driving force behind The Great Egg War, which he often uses to work with his minions. His obsession with stealing the Flock's eggs and eating them is often his downfall.
 * Professor Percy Pigsworth (Maurice LaMarche) — Professor Percy Pigsworth is the less successful cousin of Professor Mario Pigsworth.
 * Jeff McBacon — Jeff McBacon is an enigmatic French pig with an unknown past. He has a authentically snooty French accent and acts like a Charles Boyer ripoff, swooning women, and having more class and manners than Marf and Frank.

Trivia

 * The character design's style is reminiscent of the original designs much akin to the original game series and Angry Birds Toons with having it mixed with Tiny Toon Adventures' TMS-styled animation.
 * This is the first piece of Angry Birds media that contains Hatchlings. The second is The Angry Birds Movie franchise, third being The Early Hatchling Gets the Worm, and the fourth is.
 * The voice cast features an array of veteran voice performers and few of the cast will reprise their roles in The Angry Birds Movie. John DiMaggio voices Bomb, Nicole Sullivan provides voices of Stella, voices Bubbles, Kevin Michael Richardson voices Terence, Jim Cummings voices Hal, Peter Cullen voices Mighty Eagle, Deedee Magno-Hall voices Matilda, Curtis Armstrong voices Red,  voices Jay; while Bill Hader and Blake Shelton will reprise their respective role as Leonard and Earl for The Angry Birds Movie franchise.
 * Similar to and, This show is not just well known for its source material and its wide array of characters, but also having cameos of Looney Tunes, Tiny Toon Adventures, and Animaniacs appeared in one show.
 * This is the first long-form Angry Birds TV series. (with the second being Angry Birds Summer Madness)
 * This is the first Angry Birds TV series to have English voice acting. (with the second being Angry Birds BirLd Cup, the third being Angry Birds on The Run, and the fourth being Angry Birds Summer Madness)
 * While it stays absolutely faithful to the source material of the slingshot-style games of Angry Birds, this show is dedicated to the Golden Age of Animation and Saturday morning cartoons.
 * This is the first incarnation that fully stays true to the source material of the game, the second being The Angry Birds Movie franchise.
 * According to Andrea Torrejon, the design aspects of the Flock and Pigs were not only streamlined but were influenced from Tokyo Movie Shinsha Co., Ltd.'s depiction of the characters in Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs, and Pinky and The Brain.
 * It was possibly sure that this show would probably have a crossover with either Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs, Freakazoid, DC Superhero Girls, Villainous, Steven Universe, or surprisingly My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, in the similar vein to Angry Birds Rio.

Production
After establishing its own in-house animation studio in January of 2012, Rovio announced that they were collaborating with Cartoon Network, Amblin Television, and DHX Media to make an new, long-form Angry Birds television series, with Sony Pictures Animation associating it. In early 2013, it was announced that the series, now titled Angry Birds X, would premiere in the original game's fourth anniversary on Cartoon Network.

The aim of the adaptation based on Angry Birds was for the cartoon to match the tone of Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs, Toonsylvania, Pinky and the Brain, Tex Avery shorts, Adventure Time, the Looney Tunes shorts in their earlier days and the golden age while staying faithful to the source material. This led to the slapstick-comedy roots and heart-warming moments in each episode. The characters themselves saw some alterations to their personality traits, while some having personality traits that inspire the characters' traits from the Angry Birds Movie - for example, Chuck being a zany happy-go-lucky screwball and Matilda being a peaceful anger management instructor.

On December 2012, Angry Birds X received a makeover, in order to distinguish itself from the separate, vastly different, short-form Angry Birds Toons, while still having it to be comedic. The show bible for Angry Birds X was written in February 2013, with the final revision made on March 17, 2013, when Angry Birds Toons first released.

Casting info
During an announcement of June 2012, Jaakko Iisalo, Steven Spielberg, and Genndy Tartakovsky announced that John DiMaggio, Curtis Armstrong, William Salyers, Deedee Magno, Jim Cummings, Kevin Michael Richardson, Nicole Sullivan, Sam Lavagnino, Danny Pudi, Eric Bauza, and Ben Schwartz would headline the voice cast as Bomb, Red, Chuck, Matilda, Hal, Terence, Stella, Bubbles, and the Blues. The announcement was met with a mixed reaction from fans; while some questioned the casting choices, others welcomed the idea of the choices, in particular Cummings as Hal. Salyers, at first, decline to star in the movie, feeling that it was too similar to his role as Rigby in Regular Show, but Tartakovsky eventually convinced him to sign through the premise of the show.

In July 2012, Brain Doyle-Murray, Bill Hader, Maurice LaMarche, Pierre Coffin, Brian Fisher, Richard Steven Horvitz, and Lewis Black joined to voice King Pig, Professor Pig, Mechanic Pig, the Minion Pigs, Chronicler Pig, Corporal Pig and Foreman Pig, as they also wanted to re-imagine as more heroic than the actual piggy villains. Jason Issacs, Lee Tockar, Neil Crone, Jeff Bennett, and Dennis Bateman were also set as members of the villainous Bad Piggies. In Mid-July 2012, Issacs revealed he was voicing Chef Pig.

In August 2012, several notable actors were considered for the role of the main villain, King Julian Matthew Mudbeard-Smoothcheeks I. Wagner Moura auditioned to voice Julian, whom was in, but after his audition, the producers found him too terrifying for the role. Michael C. Hall was also considered for the role, but turned it down. Jason Segel expressed interest in playing Julian, but both Spielberg and Tartakovsky refused; they both thought nobody would take Segel seriously as a serious villain. The role of Julian was ultimately given to James Spader. He compared his part as Julian to Cummings' role as Dr Robotnik in Sonic the Hedgehog and Christopher Lloyd's role as Judge Doom in Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

Upon the trailer's release, Pudi, Bauza, and Schwartz confirmed on who would voice one of the Blues in the show; Pudi voices Jay, Bauza voices Jake, and Scwartz voices Jim.

Animation
In order to craft a set of rules alongside the models for the characters that they then used, Cartoon Network Studios, Rovio Animation, and Amblin Television contracted six different studios, including TMS Entertainment in Tokyo; Jam Filled Entertainment (formerly known as Arc Productions) in Ottawa; Yowza Animation in Toronto; Snipple Animation Studios in Manila; Tonic DNA in Montreal; Sunmin Image Pictures in South Korea; and Flying Bark Productions in Sydney. Tokyo Movie Shinsha also animated the series' opening sequence. Andrea Torrejon and Robert Alvarez serves as the series' animation directors and lead animators.

Given that it's animated in digital-ink-and-paint, Angry Birds X was made with a higher production value than other Cartoon Network shows, The Angry Birds X characters often move fluidly, and do not regularly stand still and speak, as in other television cartoons.

Music
Guy Moon and Steven Bernstein composed a rendition of the iconic Angry Birds theme song. Like Animaniacs, Angry Birds X used a 35-piece orchestra, and thirteen composers were contracted to write original underscore for the series' run: Bruce Broughton, Andy Sturmer, Steven Bernstein, Charlie Brissette, Mike Reagan, David Schweitzer, Carl Johnson, Joshua Moshier, Benny Oschmann, Alexander Röder, Douglas Black Heaton, Salla Hakkola, and Guy Moon, which includes themes from the Angry Birds games, in collaboration with series composer Ari Pulkkinen. Some reccurring tracks, composed by Heitor Pereira, can be carried over the Angry Birds Movie.

Reception
It has received worldwide critical acclaim since its premiere and gained enormous popularity by its second season.

Film
A feature film, Angry Birds X: The Fine-Feathered Movie, was released in theaters on April 13, 2018.

Poll
 Do you agree with and like/love this idea for a series? I LOVE IT. :D Needs some work, but I like it. :3 I don't mind it regardless :| I think it's okay, but is it even needed...?   What do you think of the voice choices for the Flock? They fit the flock perfectly! I think the choices are pretty good. It's not bad. It's not amazing, but it isn't insufferable once you get use to it.   Does it deserve the "Steven Spielberg Presents" Phrase? YES! I don't know. Nope.
