Angry Birds: 4 Easter Eggs, In-Jokes And References You Need To See

4. The Various Nods To The Original Game

Obviously The Angry Birds Movie is pretty rooted in the original mobile game. The entire plot is built around creating the oh-so-simple set-up of birds catapulting themselves towards pigs and all of the characters and their personalities are based on the different class types; it's quite impressive they've developed a big enough story out such a simple concept.

But that's not where the references to the source end. All "pictures" are in the drawing style of the original, a neat explanation that canonises the game in this word, while every time a bird is flung towards the pig castle they tuck their legs under their wings and, for a moment, look like their video game counterpart.
