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

* If you think the Angry Birds launching themselves via slingshot isn't awe-inspiring, then THINK AGAIN!! Admit it, long-time fans: You never thought you'd see that iconic slingshot on the big screen. Seeing the carnage players have been inflicting on the pigs ever since 2009 rendered beautifully in Cartoon Network's style of animation is an incredible nostalgia trip. Complete with a bombastic orchestrated rendition of the Angry Birds theme triumphantly playing.
**What started the battle is what possibly is one of the greatest Gondor Calls for Aid/Lock-and-Load Montage and Team Power Walk in the history of animated movies based on animated series, as every Angry Bird gears up for battle.
** Between them and that goal is Baron Harmful's entire invading army. The flock exchange a look, use their powers and get to work. Underscoring it all, a Theme Music Power-Up gloriously chimes in, being used specifically as a Leitmotif for the Flock for the first time in the film, as though cementing the moment where they truly become heroes of the Tooniverse.
** This is also the FIRST time we see Hal getting very angry in protecting his flock, his eyes flaming with determination, due to the rage chili, and it is awesome.
*** The usually easygoing Hal snapping long enough to beat the snot out at Edgar's army, which then leads into a scene when he sees that his flock has been cornered and utterly loses it, curb-stomping all them in response. Hal's No-Holds-Barred Beatdown is cathartic to watch as Edgar's army gets knocked senseless by his fury.
*** Can't overlook how just before Hal beats Edgar's army up, he gives the mother of all roars and scares Edgar so much he turns yellow!
*The entire scene of the Angry Birds returning.
**After all the cruel shit Baron Harmful has put the Flock through, his absolutely pricelessly annihilated expression when they got back to Piggy Island is deliciously cathartic. Complete with a donkey sound effect.
*The sheer amount of characters appearing from every single piece of animation. Truly a massively worthy successor to Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
*Terence immediately stepping in to defend his little brother, Red, from the crows, especially in the final battle, even giving one of them a tactical punch. Goes to show that nobody messes with his brother as long as he’s around. He doesn't even need to raise his voice to show how slightly sinister his anger can be. Terence: You wanna know what happened to the last bird who tried to attack my brother? This. (punches the crow high in the sky)
*The Visual Effects of Awesome, with the Flock switching between 2D and 2.5-D formats.
* Upon encountering the booby traps in the blimp entrance after launching themselves with the slingshot, Red bravely decides to go in first, unknowingly setting off all the cartoony booby traps. Despite this, he gets through unscathed, like the rest of the Flock. That is, when a large anvil is about to fall on him as he quickly dodges it before he gets flattened.
*Bomb is made of awesome in this movie. He protects each of his flock, the pigs, and the toons whenever they're in danger and manages to use his shockwave power on the caged toons, not only setting them free, but releasing a massive shockwave in the process.
*The event that builds up to a Big Badass Battle Sequence is absolutely perfect, but still mainly slapstick and cartoon logic.
** Just when it looks like Baron Harmful is about to win, with the Flock, especially Bomb, Red, and Chuck, looking very on the edge of defeat, realizing that Toontown AND Piggy Island are in danger and might not be savable, a magical shield protects the Flock and it is from Twilight. Cue a shot of the entrance of Baron Harmful's blimp, and The Cavalry of every single toon in the Tooniverse arriving to help, up to and including the Looney Tunes and Nicktoons. What follows is the Big Badass Battle Sequence where toons from all over Toontown charge at Baron Harmful and his mooks, distracting them long enough for the Flock to form a plan.
**The scene of Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse gathering all the Toons that each of the Flock rescued into an army to come and save him and his flock just in time. Bugs: Eh... what's up, flock? Baron Harmful, or should I say, Judge Doom defeated you, did he? Bomb: Yeah, he did. The rest of the Flock: And we're almost gonna be dipped!Bugs: Oh, brother! You need some of these, some of these, a lot of these, oh, and all of these. (knocks down the entrance to show loads of birds, toons, and pigs)
**Bomb saying the Flock's famous catchphrase is also incredible. He starts off loud and clear with his delivery of "Angry Birds, pigs, and toons"... and when he says "it's time to get angry", he sounds quiet; but his tone is filled with such fuming Tranquil Fury. Baron Harmful has spread so much fear across Piggy Island that it genuinely earns him the most visceral of anger from that bullfinch, and now that they're finally about to start the battle? He is ready to kick. Some. Feathers. This is immediately followed by pretty much every bird, pig, and toon charging into battle. Then, armies finally clash, resulting in a downright glorious, albiet cartoony, one-shot battle sequence.
** The Flock, The Pigs, and Toons working together to defeat Baron Harmful and his army is one of the moments Angry Birds fans have been waiting to see on the big screen. It brings back nostalgic feels from many animated movies based on animated series, with all of them doing their fair share to defeat Baron Harmful's army, and Hal even brings along a bag full of rage chilis and assists the flock with team attacks.
** The Chuck Time scene is both this and hilarious, as we see Chuck using his Bullet Time ability in the big screen. The music, "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" by Eurythmics, just adds to the awesomeness as he not only casually wins the fight through his wackiness and wits, but pushes the eggs to safety and messes with Boris Badenov, Verminious Snaptrap, Estroy, Queen Chrysalis, Fuzzy Lumpkins, and Natasha Fatale at once, including tossing a bucket of paint over Natasha in Looney Tunes fashion.
*** Chuck's delivery of "It's Chuck Time!" puts a pin in how awesome this is.
**Yosemite Sam, Red, and Hoss Delgado teaming up and firing their guns at every enemy on sight.
**Marie Kanker wiping the floor with the crows while they're beating Double D up.
**Jay completely going into a (relatively) quiet rage-filled Papa Wolf on Lord Dominator whom is torturing Jake and Jim. Goes to show that if you cause harm to his little brothers, you will not be getting away scot-free.
** Even for a young oriole, Bubbles is such a Pint-Sized Powerhouse, as he uses Toon Phsyics to get rid of several toon villains as he performs an impressive series of Deadly Dodgings using Toon Physics against Vicky the Babysitter.
**The smurfs deserve some credit. They're quite willing to stare down Gargamel with the little log that leads to the bigger one knocking him into Princess Morbucks and Azrael, a reference to the 2011 live-action film, and showed very little fear as they ultimately proved useful against him.
** During the final battle, Each of the Flock then proceed to break Baron Harmful's sanity by outsmarting, mocking, and calling him out for being a genocidal toon who wants to murder his own kind for sheer greed and sadism.
*** The sheer No-Sell looks of bravery on the Flock's faces as they're confronted by the very toon that haunted all toons for years. Instead of being consumed with fear, the Angry Birds are so struck with determined justice that not even he scares them, not even Terence.
**The Angry Birds. Powered up. By the RAGE CHILI. Once the Angry Birds start embracing their inherent anger and silliness, they use the chili and start turning the final battle over its head using cartoon physics. Truly making them The Angry Birds! Watching the Flock effortlessly charge through the chimeric Baron Harmful like a tenpin is the Crowning Moment of Awesome for the entire film.
***The Rage Chili's power is shown perfectly when Baron Harmful attempts to crush them with his anvil hand. Not only does it not do anything, the Flock don't even move or flinch, as if Baron Harmful had planted an anvil against an impervious wall. This is then followed by Bubbles using his inflation ability to send Baron Harmful flying, leading him to get back up and charge him in a blind rage. The Flock really knows how to make sure Harmful can personally see what fresh hell the chimeric toon monster has unleashed the moment he threatened the toons, their piggy friends, Toontown, Piggy Island, AND their eggs.
***The Flock charging against Harmful's amalgamated troops using their powers.
***And capping off the charge is the Flock teaming up against Baron Harmful. For the whole film, Harmful has been presented as a ruthless, calculating, and merciless ruler, but thanks to the Rage Chili, The Flock dish out a glorious Curb-Stomp Battle to Baron Harmful, powering through his skunk odor and delivering a series of blows that end up smashing the chimeric monster clear across the rooms of his own blimp! During that, Baron Harmful attempts to use his arsenal of cartoon weapons in his attempts to get the eggs, only to be immediately punished for it a la Kung Fu Panda, especially when Red makes him bite his own tail instead when he tries to bite Ruby.
***This leaves him open to a sucker punch from Terence, who knocks him directly into Melody's beak.
***Melody spits him right out into the air, where Red halts his momentum with his warcry.
***Doubled as Funny. As once The Flock deliver the awesome finishing blow to Baron Harmful, all he can do is just look at the camera, gulp, and pull up a tiny umbrella, and their power is so strong that it's powerful enough to disfigure his whole face! All of it!
***Chuck ULTIMATELY gets in the ultimate Badass Boast. Chuck: You lived in every toon's nightmare for far too long, Doom, as for Eddie, YOU'LL PAY WITH YOUR BURNING RED EYED LIFE!
**A more humorous but cathartic moment; Just when he was about to be defeated, Baron Harmful manages to get what looks to be the Eggs as he prepares to bite them... and he gets nothing but having his teeth crack into pieces. His smug demeanor immediately rockets off, quickly looking at the "eggs" in shock, which are revealed to be egg-shaped rocks painted white to make them look like eggs, which is also a prank by the Blues AND Hal.
**Just when it looks like Baron Harmful is about to ruin the Flock's victory, Bomb throws a can of sardines at his face, summoning the Mighty Eagle.
***To reiterate, The Mighty Eagle literally punched the Golden Egg out of Baron Harmful.
*Before the dip bomb explodes inside him, Bomb, Red, and Chuck toss Baron Harmful into the air using the iconic tail swing move from Super Mario 64.
* Charles Adler, Rob Paulsen, Kath Soucie, Tress MacNeille, Frank Welker, Cree Summer, Candi Milo, Gail Matthius, and Maurice LaMarche all reprising the Tiny Toon Adventures characters. It's been over twenty-three years since the show premiered, but they still got it!
