Plot
The beginning of the movie shows test footage of a live action island shows realistic CGI versions of the Flock and the Pigs, but it is interrupted by Bomb, who is sick and tired of those crummy live-action/CGI remakes based on cartoons, starts telling the audience that Warner Bros. must be snorting crack. The Flock goes to the Warner Bros. studio, and they demand that their movie must be traditionally animated, and they promptly accept their request to make their movie fully animated. After changing the medium to traditionally animated, the movie then continues.

The movie begins as the Pigs invites The Flock to share a gigantic at the Pig-Bird Companionship Festival, a time when the Flock and Pigs play fun games, crazy rides, and activities over Piggy Island. On his way, Bomb brings the Eggs along with them. The festivities are interrupted by an invasion of monstrous pigs commanded by the villainous falcon Baron Harmful, who uses a magical nuclear sapphire orb to obliterate the entire Pig City to a complete. The Flock and the pigs go into a fallout bunker. When the birds see that the eggs are missing, they realized that their eggs have been stolen by Baron Harmful, and the courageous Bomb rallies them to retrieve their eggs and save Piggy Island.

After given missions from the Mighty Eagle, The Flock construct a boat, bringing their slingshot, and embark on a journey. After completely escaping a pack of piranhas, a pair of beautiful sirens, and a group of pig-like behemoths, The Flock reach a peaceful island called Birdhamas filled with other birds. After coming to the conclusion that they have to complete their journey due to being ‘angry heroes’, they decided that they won't give up as The Pigs arrive and Mario upgrades their boat. They make camp in the island, after the inhabitants of Bird Town accept that they'll help, much to Bomb's delight.

After going back to Piggy Island, the Flock discover that the mastermind behind Baron Harmful's arrival is their archenemy, Edgar the Chef Pig, Don Bacon, and his assistant, Patsy. Bomb and his flock are ready to beat Edgar and his goons, but Baron Harmful stops them and throws them into a portal. Bomb and his friends find themselves in the real world, as they have to go find shelter in a hotel. While looking for a place to sit, Hal begins to lose hope and becomes depressed. After seeing him down on the dumps, Scarlett Johansson motivates Hal to never lose faith on his friends and never give up, restoring his confidence.

Seeing his friends enter a heated argument, Hal manages to successfully stop this with a rousing speech. The Flock resolve their differences, while they wonder how they get back to Piggy Island. Fortunately, Sofia Vergara and Eddie Murphy appears and offers them a slingshot. They managed to launch the Flock back to Piggy Island.

The Flock return to Piggy Island to save the captive pigs and attack and defeat Baron Harmful by firing themselves over the walls using their giant slingshot. However, Baron Harmful and Don Bacon retaliate by conjuring a hurricane in the island with his newly weather powers, betraying Edgar and Patsy as well. The Flock save Edgar from the hurricane and reunites with the Eggs, who work together to beat him. Baron Harmful hurls an box of TNT at the group, but Edgar throws it in his way, sending him to oblivion. Patsy, enraged at his betrayal, puts Don Bacon in a cannon, presses a button firing him off the warship, and finally into the Pig City prison. The Flock and Edgar revive the Pigs with the help of the Blues.

The Pig-Bird Companionship Festival resumes. While being praised for his integrity by the Pigs, and gained a golden egg from Corporal Pig, The Flock are apparently nice enough to even forgive Edgar by giving him the golden egg when they sees him sulking in sorrow, feeling embarrassed, regretful, and left out, and he befriends them with a makeshift umbrella for tne Eggs. Edgar remarks that betraying his kind was the dumbest thing he's ever done. Hal shows him a montage of him stealing the eggs and Edgar even admits that that, was the dumbest thing he's ever done. The Flock celebrate by protecting the eggs together. Bomb shows a sign reading "Happy ending ain't it?"

When the film ends, it is revealed that The entire Flock are watching their film in a dark theater, Silver insists on watching it again. Chuck protests until The Pigs, Lucy and Patrick (his mom and dad), Winnie, and her entire flock from the movie come to watch it as well, soon joined by numerous Hanna-Barbera, Looney Tunes, and Cartoon Network characters (with Matilda commenting that they need a bigger theater).

A mid-credits scene shows The Flock welcomes Winnie and her gang to Piggy Island.
