Angry Birds X/Tropes

Angry Birds X also known as Steven Spielberg Presents Angry Birds X is a 2013 television animated series produced by Rovio Animation and Cartoon Network Studios and based on the Angry Birds franchise. It premiered on Cartoon Network on December 11, 2013.

Angry Birds X contains examples of:

 * Toontown / Cloudcuckooland: Like most Toon worlds, Piggy Island is colorful and cartoonish.
 * The Cameo: Virtually every possible iconic cartoon character from Warner Bros., Terrytoons, Hanna-Barbera, MGM Cartoons, and Cartoon Network have a cameo and every video game character, comic strip character, comic book character have a cameo or mention in this show.
 * Almost Perfect Equality: The show portrays male and female characters as equal, and portrays it fairly well.
 * Animation Bump: The animation of first five episodes of Season 1 were done by Toon City Animation, similar to Angry Birds Toons. Starting with "Poached Eggs", the show fully switched to better, smoother, bouncier, more fluid squash-and-stretch cartoony traditional animation by Jam Filled Entertainment and TMS Entertainment. — Chuck's expressions have become especially zanier, wackier, sillier, and more exaggerated, while The Flock have more cartoony facial expressions and each of them has their own, unique walking animation cycle. The characters in this show never make the same face twice!
 * Art Evolution:
 * Adaptation Expansion: The previous versions establish/imply that the birds got their eggs stolen by the pigs, this cartoon shows that the Birds regularly visits Pig City to interact with their piggy friends and help them.
 * Toon Physics: The show has a lot of this.
 * Animated Adaptation: Angry Birds X is the second cartoon adapted from the video game, the first being Angry Birds Toons. It combined elements of the Tex Avery shorts and Looney Tunes while retaining a lot of elements to the video game.
 * Zany Cartoon
 * Alternate Continuity: Doesn't follow at all with Angry Birds Toons
 * Slice of Life
 * The Golden Age of Animation: 'Nuff said! It's inspired by the Looney Tunes shorts and the Tex Avery shorts.
 * The Renaissance Age of Animation: In the veins of Who Framed Roger Rabbit
 * Road Runner vs. Coyote: Some of the episodes deal with the Flock protecting the eggs from Edgar and his minions as usual.
 * Humanity Ensues: The Humanized episode "Angry Humans" involves Bomb going to alternate dimension where he and everyone else is human in a Total Drama-esque universe
 * Theme Tune Cameo: In Ready, Aim, Fire!!, it shows that the traditional Angry Birds theme was written by the minion pigs while congratulating them for saving their city. The traditional Angry Birds theme is heard often on this show, mostly as background music, although characters have hummed or whistling it is on occasion.
 * Origin Story: The first five episodes are a prequel, showcasing how the infamous feud between the Flock and Bad Piggies began. Heck, one episode shows how Bomb, Red, Terence, and Chuck first met as hatchlings, how they met Bubbles, The Blues, Matilda, Hal, and Stella, and how they did their first egg rescue, forming the Flock.
 * The Movie: Angry Birds X: The Fine Feathered Movie
 * Crossover: Angry Birds X and Steven Universe crossed over three times in the Gems and Birds Unite Trilogy.
 * In the Style of...: Animaniacs and Friendship is Magic.
 * Story Arc: Each season has one:
 * In the show as a whole, this arc involves the Flock trying to end the Great Egg War by making peace with the pigs, but Edgar or the rest of the Bad Piggies steal the eggs to prevent them from doing so.
 * The first season focused on the Flock thwarting Edgar's egg-stealing schemes, while trying to figuring out who King Smoothcheeks I is and fit in their purpose in the Cartoon Network Universe outside of protecting the eggs from the Bad Piggies.
 * The second season focused on The Flock getting prepared for the 22nd Annual Great Egg War, while wondering what the origin story of the Mighty Eagle is.
 * The third season focused on Chuck learning how to be more mature and trying his best to be the vital member of the Flock
 * The fourth season and the movie focused on The Flock and the Pigs throwing a festival for all toons.
 * The fifth season focused on the Flock trying to find their purpose in the CN City outside of protecting the eggs from the Bad Piggies in Piggy Island.
 * The sixth season focused on Bomb struggling with his I.E.D (Intermittent Explosive Disorder)
 * Continuity Nod: This show has a number of them over the course of it, despite coming across as having No Continuity.
 * Shared Universe: This show had characters from Animaniacs, Freakazoid, Tiny Toons, Looney Tunes, and every single Cartoon Network show and every Hanna-Barbera show (even if some shows are not made by Cartoon Network Studios or Hanna-Barbera Productions) appear as supporting characters and/or cameos.
 * Suddenly Speaking: In the games and cartoons, none of the characters really spoke. Mostly they just grunted, growled, laughed and uttered gibberish. In the show, the birds and the pig can speak. This carried over to the IDW comics and The Angry Birds Movie franchise.
 * Suddenly Voiced: Terence, the most silent out of the Flock that can communicate in grunts, finally can speak now.
 * Take That, Audience!: Specifically, those in the audience that hated today's rendition of the ill-tempered flock and wanted Rovio to bring back 2012, while the pigs made a society devoted to helping Angry Birds fans get over their addiction of the #BringBack2012 movement.
 * Truer to the Text: Despite having a few changes and being a tribute to The Golden Age of Animation, it's a lot more faithful to the source material of the video game franchise of the same name (especially the slingshot-style games).
 * Wham Line: In-universe, when Red first speak when he first entered anger management.

Inter-flock-als
"They are... the Angry Birds. And they’re coming to Cartoon Network next/this winter/on their fourth anniversary/Wednesday, December 11." Numerous promos released in the months before the show had one of the flock unintentionally invading scenes of the numerous Cartoon Network shows—from Dexter's Laboratory to Uncle Grandpa—before heading into scenes from the actual show with Michael Jackson's "Bad" playing in the background.


 * Adaptational Nice Guy: Most Cartoon Network characters are more pleasant to have the Flock around...
 * Adaptational Angst Upgrade: ...While some Cartoon Network characters are reasonably and understandably more annoyed once they see the Flock.
 * Animated Actors: Implied to be this. Both Finn, Lu, The Eds, and Bloo tell the Flock to "get [their] own show", Dexter is annoyed at The Flock for unintentionally ruining his laboratory, Uncle Grandpa knew that Terence is not Mr. Gus, and many, many others.
 * Black Sheep: Invoked; The Flock were such unusual characters for Cartoon Network at the time that they decided to play up this trope with them as much as possible, leading to these promos and the show's poster that shows Bomb, The Blues, Red, Chuck, and Matilda.
 * Captain Obvious: Uncle Grandpa points out that Terence is not Mr. Gus
 * Commercial Switcheroo: These promos would start with an scene from a Cartoon Network show, and then have The Flock interrupt the moment.
 * Kick The Dog: While a lot of Cartoon Network characters are annoyed at the Flock for ruining their scenes, they are understandable and some of them told them to get their own show, Lu (from Mike, Lu & Og), of all people, yelled at Red, Chuck, and Bomb ferociously to get their own show, before kicking them, in a similar way Garfield kicks Odie.
 * Trailer Spoof: Nearly all the promo appeared to be a promo for some other Cartoon Network show at first, only to be interrupted by the Flock, partly to make it clear it was a lighter, wackier show than the company's usual output. The show's tagline was even "There's one in every team."
 * Weird Crossover: Between this show and many Cartoon Network shows
 * White Sheep: Look above Black Sheep.
 * Wolf Whistle: Chuck does the two note whistle once he sees Cartoon Network beauties Amethyst, Margaret from Regular Show, and Frankie Foster. Frankie Foster and Margaret wern't charmed by him, but Amethyst apparently was.
